Episode 32: Kaelee Rae
Hey, listeners! This week I’m excited to bring Kaelee Rae to the podcast! Kaelee started as a virtual assistant and now mentors others to offer their own virtual assistant services. Kaelee is passionate about helping mothers specifically and that really shines through in our chat! Key Takeaways
- Kaelee loved her career but felt frustrated by moving frequently for her husband’s job. When she was expecting her first baby she felt called to stay home. She did, and started her VA business when her son was six months old.
- Over the years her VA services have supported 25 businesses! She loves working with moms to start flexible remote businesses.
- On juggling it all: “There are days when I have to sit down with a journal at the end of the day and write down everything I did to make myself realize ’Oh yeah, I did get a lot done today!’”
- She manages with no childcare at all! Kaelee has to be very intentional about her work load and revisits her values and goals frequently.
- When a close friend showed an interest in virtual assisting she became an advocate for the space. Her business mentor suggested she build a business from helping others build there business, and now that is her central focus.
- For people interested in virtual assisting, Kaelee recommends investing in a course or program from the start.
- For people interested in hiring a virtual assistant, Kaelee says to always hire culture over skill. “Don’t hire someone that isn’t a culture fit to your company and the community you are building.”
- If you fear bringing on a VA, that’s normal! “If you’re making at least $2000 a month in your business you should be able to afford a 10 hours a month VA and it’s amazing what those ten hours a month can bring back to you!” Project-based VAs are great if you are not ready for a regular investment.
- Kaelee lists the Empower Her Co podcast as one of her favorites (!) as well as Craig Groeschel’s Leadership podcast.
