The Virtual Assistant School | Start a Side-Hustle, Make Money From Home, & Grow Your Online Business

We are BACK after a little podcast break as we took last month off to create a new strategy for the podcast and plan some content out ahead of time and it feels SO good! That being said, this episode is a little (BIG) life update with an announcement I have been teasing for a couple weeks on my social media and I just knew the podcast girlies had to be the first to know! 🤭

I have been an entrepreneur for 6.5 years and Your Behind the Scenes BFF® has existed for 2.5 of those years. Over that time, I have learned and grown so much as a business owner (& as a person in general) and looking back, there are a few things I would have done differently -- along with several I wouldn't change at all. 🫶🏻

We have all seen it – people claiming to have all this freedom when it comes to entrepreneurship but what most don’t show you is how close their laptop is within reach at all times.

In today’s episode, I am pulling back the curtain on what it looks like to take a ~real~ vacation as a VA, how you can prep your business and clients to take time off, and how sometimes there is a small (& very much worth it imo) price to pay for the freedom and flexibility that having your own business affords you on a daily basis when it comes to extended trips!

Two weeks ago, I was at Salesgirl Summit and the entire event was one to remember but there was one thing that happened that I will truly never forget.

I don’t want to spoil it for you so tune into this episode to hear how I “got it wrong” and then used that feeling to position myself in a way to get it right.

We are over 150 days into 2024 and there has been one thing I have done every single day -- I've gotten ready.

Yep, I have gotten ready every day in 2024 and I have gotten quite a few questions about it SO I decided you know, why not share about how it's going, what it looks like, and what kind of impact it's had on my life so far! Plus, May & June's Monthly R.E.P.O.R.T.!

I asked my audience on Instagram what is the smallest amount of money that would change their life right now and TBH, I wasn't surprised by the answer but what I did feel strongly about was how all of the responses are actually achievable by starting a side hustle as a virtual assistant.

In a world of "10k months" and a 6-figure business (which is incredible), I want us to be reminded that even just an extra $500 a month working just 1-2 hours a day, can impact our lives greatly, too.

Tune into this episode where I not only lay out what that can look like as a virtual assistant, but introduce our new FREE Workshop that you can't miss!

On today’s episode, we have Kira from The Paradigm Consulting and with a decade of experience in People Operations in the corporate world, Kira is no stranger to the sensitive issues involved in the human side of running a business. 

Normally Kira talks to the clients or business owners who are hiring or have employees and contractors on their team, but today she is coming on to talk with me to YOU, the freelancers, contractors and ultimately business owners yourself. We are chatting alllll about client boundaries, expectations, and the new laws from the Dept. of Labor surrounding employees vs contractors!
