Where it all started …

In a world where we are very overstimulated and always distracted, we must remember to stay true to ourselves. I remember scrolling through Pinterest always wanting to learn how to work from home with a legit side hustle. How could those ladies make it seem so simple and easy but I just couldn’t take it serious? Then I came across Aubree Malick’s Podcast, and it gave me so much hope. I finally felt like I could actually make it happen. That idea that working from home while raising my herd of kids could be a reality. I was going to become a Virtual Assistant!

I researched virtual assistants every free minute I had. I finally took a leap and invested in a course that would completely change my life. I took Aubree Malick’s The Prep course. It helped me immensely to feel confident enough to start my business. I realized it wasn’t perfect yet but just getting out there and starting was the first step.

Journaling in 2021 how badly I wanted to be a work-from-home mom.

Once I had my footing and was really enjoying finding new clients Marra McDonald my business mentor came into the picture. She saw potential in me and encouraged me to invest in myself. She has been fabulous to bounce ideas off of or help me plan out what I want to do. She is good at connecting all my thoughts into actionable steps that I can take to see growth.

• Abby Ashley YouTube Channel

• Facebook groups in your niche

Like I said before, I knew I wasn’t going to be perfect right out of the gate. I knew I would fail forward time and time again but the difference this time was I continued to believe that I CAN do this. It’s not just a little side hustle. This is my business. This is my work, and as long as I show up each day doing my non-negotiables then I will find success.
