Show notes

Send me a text

Have you ever thought about working from home, but you don't know where to start?
Maybe it's time to consider being a VA. A VA (virtual assistant) is someone who works independently to help clients from anything to email marketing to social media management and graphic design.
If you are looking for a way to work from home, check out this episode with Ester. She breaks down the skills needed to become a VA, how to tell the spammy jobs from the real ones, and how to establish their own VA business.
Listen to this episode to learn how you can start your VA business and work from home permanently.
ABOUT ESTER
Esther quit her corporate America job 6 years ago when she realized it wasn’t suitable for a military wife and Mom life. She started working from home as a virtual assistant and couldn’t believe this simple low entry-level virtual career was completely unknown by other military wives, Moms, or travel lovers.
After taking her agency to 6 figures, she’s helped over 4,000 women work online as virtual assistants around the world with her program 90 Day VA.
After living abroad as a full-time digital nomad for 3 years in Bali, Esther now lives in Asheville, NC with her 9-year-old son and veteran husband.

[152] Simple Steps to Be More Productive from the Productivity Fairy God Mother with Holly Haynes Sep 14, 2021

Show notes

Send me a text

Sometimes getting up and getting started with the day is a challenge. The bed feels so good and you start to think about all of the things you have to do and decide to sleep for a few more minutes. Next thing you know, you've overslept and are late for work. This leads to a spiral that can send your day down into the dumps.

Having a productive day doesn't necessarily require you to wake up super early in the morning. But there are a few things that need to happen to ensure your day goes well and you tackle the to-do list.

I brought my friends and productivity fairy godmother, Holly Haynes to share her secrets of how she stays productive. As a wife and mom of twins that work full time AND have a full-time coaching business, I think she knows a thing or two that can help us out with our productivity.

In this episode Holly shares:

How to structure your day efficiently so that you actually are able to get what you need to be done without it being overwhelming.
Why you need a morning routine and what to include in your morning routine to help you have a productive day.
Her method to determining what you need to tackle first on your to-do list

If you need a little magic from the productivity fairy godmother, make sure to check out the full episode.

ABOUT HOLLY
Holly helps female entrepreneurs take back control of their time with proven productivity techniques, systems, and structure to create a strategy that scales long term. An industry expert, host of the Crush the Rush Podcast and featured Thrive author with a 20-year business consulting background with Fortune 500 companies, Holly runs her strategic coaching business and the Crush the Rush planner company while raising her twin daughters with her husband in addition to working for a non-profit in Columbus, Ohio.
