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

I am no stranger to a pivot, and for those of you who have been around for a while know this about me. But this year has been different. I have been navigating postpartum, 2 under 2, struggling with my mental health, building businesses, and just trying to find my footing after some substantial life changes.

And through it all, I have learned a lot about myself, which I go more into during this podcast episode. 

Tune in to hear the back story of Mom's Day Out, where I am at in terms of my priorities and my career, and where I would love to see us go in the future... together. 🫶🏻

I get questions nearly every day about what a virtual assistant even is, how it’s a legit business you can start, how you make money, what you actually do as a VA, and everything in between.

And a lot of times these questions come from the angle of something DMing me and they are like, "Okay I’m intrigued and I want to work from home and I want to have time flexibility or I want to make some extra money in the side of my job but… what the heck is this ACTUALLY?!"

So in this week's podcast episode, I want to pull the curtain back and break it all down for you. Take the mystery out of it and let you in on what a VA is (and how you can do it, too 😉).

This episode originally aired on The Jo Show Podcast when Jo invited me to have this convo with her and after we finished recording, I just felt like more people needed to hear this episode so we brought it over here too!

We talked about some of the pretty common feelings and experiences that people don't really talk about when it comes to entrepreneurship, and I shared what this last year (well, last 5.5 years really) has looked like for me and my growth both as a person and a business owner!

I hope you enjoy this honest and candid conversation that Jo and I had together and if you haven't yet, make sure to check out her podcast linked below! 🤗

I get asked sometimes how I work my business while also being a mama to two babies, 2 and under SO in this podcast episode, I share what my schedule looked like when I first started my business compared to now! Plus, I give you a little life update and why my schedule right now is actually kinda all over the place... 🤪

I hope this episode shows you that it is possible to build a business that supports your life, and not the other way around. 🫶🏻

Up until recently, I used to wear the “5 am Club” title like a badge of honor & I thought that the only way I could really be successful was if I woke up before my kids and had this elaborate morning routine.

I have officially unsubscribed to those thoughts. 

And lately, I’m finding that I really need the support of systems, routines, and habits. But it doesn't have to look like everyone else's.

In this episode, we discuss that one of those habits that I am finding incredibly helpful is my evening routine & 3 things I make sure to check off before my head hits the pillow! 🎧

As a Virtual Assistant, it's easy to get bogged down in client work and completely forget that YOUR business needs that same effort/attention. 👀

Today's podcast is all about structuring your own CEO day/block so we don't forget, that our business needs some TLC too! For the health and growth of our work, we need to be sure to set that time aside to give our business (and ourselves) what it deserves. 

I'm going to give you an inside look into my CEO day/block and share my top tips to help you to structure your very own! 🎧

For an industry that's been around for many years, being a virtual assistant still to this day has many assumptions that simply aren't true! 

Let's talk about that age-old misunderstanding about being available 24/7 for your client. (Sounds exhausting, amirite?) Or is it even possible for VAs to make good money? Should you take just anyone and everyone as a client when you're just starting out? 

In this episode, we are going to debunk some of those myths and get down to the nitty-gritty of exactly what being a virtual assistant is all about! 🎧
