Becoming Virtually Free: A podcast for virtual assistants, consultants and freelancers

It takes time to discover what you actually born to do. The journey takes time. Most people move from virtual assistant coach, but after building her successful coaching business, she realized she preferred to offer one for you services. Today on the podcast I talk with Michele Marie Liddle, who had enjoyed building a successful coaching business only to switch gears and build a successful virtual assistant business as well!

It takes time to discover what you actually want to do/are born to do. 

In this episode of Becoming Virtually free, Ariel Zimmerlein Beauchamp and I talk about the experiences that have brought us to where we are today, and how we can use those moments to grow our business in integrity.  This episode is focused around well being, and the importance of putting yourself first in your business - mind, body, and soul. We talk about how environments affect us, and the importance of tailoring your environment for your success. This is an excellent mindset episode as well.

When Virtual Assistants learn higher-end skills, not only does that instantly increase your value as a business, but it shows to your client (and the world) that you're ready to take your business to the next level. In this episode, Rebecca Thatcher and Amy sit down to talk about her journey by offering these services in her business, and how she has grown by niching down.

We also talk about the future of Facebook and Instagram Ads, and what marketers need to be conscious of when creating new Facebook Ads for their business.
