  • 29. From Virtual Assistant to CEO of a Thriving Agency | Sophie Zollmann

    Tired of the scarcity mindset? Embrace the abundance mentality with Sophie Zollmann. In this episode, Sophie spills all the tea on her journey from a $12/hour online business manager to the CEO of a thriving agency.

    She shares tales of burning out, getting smacked by the universe's intuition stick, and realizing that trying to be a Virtual Assistant and OBM at the same time is like juggling chainsaws while belly dancing (spoiler alert: it doesn't work!).

    Sophie also shares so many golden nuggets on why competition is a myth, the art of saying "no" to mismatched clients, and the importance of picking a lane.

    If you're a virtual assistant or service provider seeking more purpose, profit, and the occasional cosmic intervention, this episode is a must listen.

  • 28. From Speech Therapist to TikTok Strategist & Content Marketing Maven + Business Mentor | Sarah Weiss

    Ever wondered how a speech therapist pivots to become a content marketing strategist? Sarah Weiss joins us to share her transformation from resume writer to TikTok trends.

    In this episode, we chat all things digital marketing, exploring the implications of a potential TikTok ban and the importance of content creation skills that transcend platforms.

    She shares the moment she realized she needed to level up her services because simply touching social media wasn't cutting it. Sarah knew she had to go all-in on supporting her clients' businesses holistically - and not just for the paycheck.

    Her motto? "I want it to feel like a huge F* YES!"

    Sarah's story will inspire you to follow those intuitive hits and pivot into offers that light you up.

    Because at the end of the day, "Eh, it's okay" is not the vibe we're going for.

  • 27. From Executive Assistant to Agency Boutique Owner | Natalie Randolph

    Natalie started her business just over a year ago after taking the leap from executive assisting, and she's already built a full-blown boutique agency offering all the services - VAs, OBMs, bookkeepers, and more.

    Natalie's priority is scaling her agency with intention. From the jump, she got crystal clear on her core values, like putting family first. She carefully chooses her clients and makes sure her team's personalities match well with them, even having her team take personality tests to ensure the perfect match. 

    Despite facing challenges and moments of doubt, like the 3am freak-out moments we can all relate to, Natalie's inner vision for her thriving, empowered team keeps her going.

    Her number one tip? Always be learning and growing to better serve your clients and stay ahead of the curve.

  • 26. From General Virtual Assistant to Content Repurposing Agency Owner | Felly Day

    Felly Day, an "unprofessional entrepreneur" shares how she took her business from Craigslist gigs to a full-blown content repurposing agency.

    In this episode, Felly spills all the details about her scaling journey - from getting her start as a general Virtual Assistant making $10/hr on Craigslist, to scaling to a 16-client agency with 5 team members (that promptly "imploded" on her 🤯), to finally finding her sweet spot in content repurposing.

    Felly gets brutally honest about her mistakes (like drastically underpaying herself), the "quarter-life crisis" that made her rethink everything, and how she clawed her way back to build the biz of her dreams.

    We chat about:
    🇫🇷 Felly's love-hate relationship with living in the south of France 
    😫 How she overcame the "quarter-life crisis" that caused her business to implode - and the powerful inner work that got her back on track
    ✨ The game-changing strategies she implemented to systemize her offers and team processes, making her agency wayyy more efficient (and way less stressful!)
