Today’s guest transitioned from corporate executive assistant to virtual assistant to owning her own virtual assistant agency in the span of two years. But it wasn’t easy. And it didn’t happen overnight. Have you ever seen those social media ads for entrepreneurs in the online space who talk about making $10,000/month working only 10 hours a week … and how you can do it, too? It isn’t entirely untrue, but the reality is that it takes work to build your own business and get it to the level of success where you only have to work a few hours a week. In this episode, Sadie Prestridge shares her journey to a six-figure VA business—from putting in the work (even when it’s not fun) to embracing support and growing a team, and the importance of accountability. She also talks about the responsibilities of a VA, how to know when you’re ready to hire one, and how a VA can support solo entrepreneurs. What you’ll find in this episode: [01:42] How Sadie landed in the world of virtual assistants and quickly grew to offering higher level executive support [04:56] What it was like building an agency so quickly after starting her solo entrepreneur business [07:06] What a VA can offer your business and take off your plate, and how to know if it’s the right time to hire a VA [18:16] What is was like for Sadie as a new mom and a business owner, and how gaining success in your business doesn’t happen overnight [26:20] How to avoid burning the candle at both ends and keep your personal boundaries, and why it’s important to have support in your business   For full show notes, resources, and link, head to https://www.dralyssaadams.com/uncommon-couch-podcast Check out my new offering, Your Uncommon Brand VIP Day: https://www.dralyssaadams.com/vip-branding-experience If you enjoyed this show, make sure to follow the podcast so you’ll never miss an episode.
