Welcome to the Your Behind the Scenes BFF® Podcast. I’m your host, Kate, and I am a teacher turned entrepreneur, mom of two, and I help women build businesses as virtual assistants so they can create a life they love, and a schedule to match. In this podcast, you will learn tangible tips on how to start and grow a successful business as a VA and one that is in alignment with your goals and priorities.
We drop new, jam-packed episodes every other Tuesday as we pull back the curtain and give you a behind-the-scenes look at entrepreneurship, freelancing, and what it takes to start making an income from home as a virtual assistant.
Whether you are looking for a solid side hustle or you want to make your business your day job, this podcast is for you. We will discuss all things mindset, systems, and strategy, as well as chat with other experts and people who have been where you are, so you can stop feeling stuck and start taking action toward your goals.
Building a business can be super overwhelming at times, but here, you don’t have to do it alone. 🫶🏻
