Virtually Free with Ashlee

How I would make it work even if I had a full time job

Struggling to find the time to start your VA business while working full-time (or around family)? In this episode of Virtually Free, I’m sharing practical strategies for time blocking, energy management and more to get you moving.

One of the biggest reasons people don’t start their VA business?

They think they don’t have the time.

Whether you're working a 9–5, juggling the school run, or just trying to stay afloat in life — I see you. And I promise: you can build your business even in the cracks of your day.

This episode is all about ditching the overwhelm and finding practical ways to carve out space to launch and grow your VA biz — without quitting your job or sacrificing your sanity.

Inside, I walk you through:

How to reclaim 2–5 hours a week (without waking up at 5am)

My weekly Sunday planning ritual that keeps me consistent

How I built my business in short windows around babies (and what it taught me)

The importance of energy management vs time management

Boundaries and systems my clients use to take calls, book clients, and grow while still working full-time

Whether you’re in the early stages or still thinking about it, this episode is your permission slip to start now — using what you’ve got, right where you are.
