Show Notes

  • Carrie Flynn, the Founder of Virtual Simplicity, has dedicated her business to helping other entrepreneurs with launching online programs, setting up funnels, designing sales pages, converting leads, and all of the pieces that go into the puzzle of creating an online course.
  • In a similar vein as ​​Colleen Kochannek (a recent guest on the Doctor Entrepreneur Podcast), Dr. Glenn Vo and Carrie are in the same mastermind. Likewise, Glenn has been inspired by Carrie’s story. He’s also enthused by what her business does to help entrepreneurs “get out of the weeds and get things done.”
  • Someone looking from the outside might see all the strides Carrie is making and assume such success to be unattainable. But nobody is an overnight success, and Carrie is no different—she had to put a lot of work in to get where she is.
  • Believe it or not, Carrie was a Public School teacher who transitioned into being a Virtual Assistant. As a “VA,” Carrie gained extensive expertise before learning about the process of creating online programs.

Learning From the Past

To Carrie, not all money is good money—not every client is ideal for you, your business, and your team. While Carrie wishes this mistake was a one-and-done, she learned this lesson (the hard way) multiple times in business—she believes this mistake is especially easy to make as a service provider.

If Carrie could talk to the younger version of herself, she’d tell her that she was enough just as she is. She never felt like she quite had “it” or that she was enough. That’s how she ended up getting a Master’s Degree, chasing more certifications, and trying to prove herself in some way.

Don’t Stop Here!

Entrepreneurs always need to trust their instinct, whether it comes to a new business idea or a client. Carrie learned some lessons from the past that can apply to us all. Sometimes the voice in our head can weigh us down from shooting for the stars, but sometimes that voice comes from other people.
