How I Became a Virtual Assistant

Have you ever dreamed of owning your own business?

I did. For a long time. But I could never figure out what I wanted to do.

I love photography but I'd rather not take pictures of people because they move and have opinions and there's not a lot of money in landscapes and flowers. (Though I still take a TON of pictures of landscapes and flowers.)

I tried selling cards with the pictures I take and it was a little successful. Though, if I'm honest, it was mostly my mom ordering my cards. (Thanks Mom!)

I went down the MLM route and had some fun, met some amazing people, but crashed and BURNED financially. (Like, I don't even want to add up what I lost type crashed and burned.)

So, I went to Pinterest, which is my favorite place to find things, and I typed in "stay at home mom jobs."

And becoming a virtual assistant kept coming up. I would look at those pins for a minute and then scroll on by because I didn't think that was something I could do. I mean, you had to find clients and that sounded scary!

But the thought was in my head and I kept going back to it.

And the name I kept seeing whenever someone talked about becoming a VA was Abbey Ashley with the Virtual Savvy. Did her name stick out to me because, well, Ashley? Maybe. But I kept going back to her website.

You see, Abbey started out as a stay at home mom who needed to make some income so she became a VA and now she is the CEO of a HUGE company. And she was offering to teach me how to do it.

Now, as you remember, I crashed and BURNED in the MLM route. So, I was skeptical. Like really skeptical.

I didn't want to invest in myself because I was afraid to crash and burn again. (It could happen)

And it was a decent investment, for me at least.

So, I sat on the idea for a while.

And then March of 2020 hit. All of a sudden the world shut down and my son was home from school and my husband was working from home and I had nothing to do other than sit and worry.

I needed something that was for me. That would get my mind off of what was happening in the world.

So, I went back the The Virtual Savvy and started thinking about becoming a VA. I signed up for a free training called Become a Booked Out Virtual Assistant, and I really liked the training. So I signed up for the Savvy Vault.

The Savvy Vault is a bunch of courses in one place on all the programs that I needed to know to become a VA. And the best part for me was that it was a monthly subscription. So when I came to my senses, I could get out!

But I didn't get out. I took a few of the courses and realized that I really liked how Abbey and her team taught. It was step by step and so supportive.

So, after discussing it with my husband, who, since he was working at a table in our front room and was a captive audience, got to hear a lot of what I was thinking in real time (he loved that!), I decided to give it a try and sign up for the Savvy System. There was a 60 day money back guarantee so I could back out when I figured out that this was all bunk.

But, guess what? It wasn't bunk.

I sent out my first proposal before I got to that section of the course, got my first discovery call from that proposal and my first client before I had even set up a business checking account.

It was AMAZING and SCARY and SUPER COOL!

And then I got another client, and another and now I run a THRIVING virtual assistant business where I have subcontractors who help me and I'm building my empire!!

All because of that little bug that I don't really want to talk about. All because I took a chance on myself, even though it was scary. All because of Abbey Ashley having the same name that I do.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

So I have a question for you. Do you want to own your own business? Do you want to be a VA?

If you do want to be a VA, now is the time to invest in yourself because the Savvy System, Abbey's system, the system that helped me become the business owner I am, opens it's door soon.
