How I Got Here…
In 2003 while 8 1/2 months pregnant with our third child, my husband decided to quit his job as an insurance agent and become a mortgage broker. There was no money coming in, our insurance was gone weeks before my due date, and he and his partner were working on an 8 foot table in the middle of my living room. Needless to say, I wasn’t thrilled. But as things progressed, he moved out of the living room into an office, and I soon followed. I took the baby to work with me and developed filing systems, office policies, employee worksheets and training manuals. All of the things that are taken for granted when working for a big company. After that I began recruiting new agents to work with and developing marketing plans and action plans for the entire team. Eventually, I realized that I needed to be home more often for my family and could just as easily do this work from there. Before I knew it, I had created my dream job!
By 2006 I had built a nice little business for myself and then stumbled upon the world of Virtual Assistance. I really had no idea that other people had the same dream that I had and were actually making it happen! I devoured all of the information that I could on Virtual Assistance, becoming a successful entrepreneur, and balancing my professional life with my family life.
I always knew that my focus would be on real estate, and I quickly realized that what I really loved was putting together marketing plans, listing plans, and building up a client’s database from nothing into a powerful tool that pulls clients directly toward them, and helping them quickly and seamlessly close their sales.
In late 2011, I decided to kick it up a notch even higher than before. I completely restructured my company, this time focusing on my own systems and processes, and my own support team. I decided that the best use of my time and talent is to work directly with agents as on Online Business Manager. This means that I am no longer a “task taker” or a “doer”. I get deeply involved with my client’s businesses and I work directly with them on their goals. My team of stellar Virtual Assistant’s carry out the tasks which are overseen by me. This new business model has been a game-changer for me and my clients, and we’re all succeeding and reaching our goals like never before!
