One of my clients once gave this piece of advice i

One of my clients once gave this piece of advice in her facebook group that really stuck with me over the past year or so. It was “Things don’t have to be perfect to work. So many of us get caught up in wanting things to be perfect that it holds us back from taking any action at all. But here’s the thing… When you take imperfect action, that allows you to get feedback much faster, to see if it’s even worth pursuing to make perfect.”

Can you relate to this? 🙋‍♀️ I sure know I can!

I have been on a few different discovery calls recently and the one thing they all said was “I need to make a list of things I can have you help me with.” This made me realize something a lot of business owners have in common. Figuring out not only what they can easily delegate to their VA,
but how they can efficiently delegate the tasks to ensure they get a good return on their VA.

This is exactly why I have created a new free guide called my “little black book of 60 ideas of things you can outsource.”

This is also a great example of me taking imperfect action.🤭 I couldn’t get the mobile version working correctly, but I will especially now that it’s posted AND if you like the guide, I will be creating more free resources for you!

I also need to give a huge shoutout to Amanda. She's my client that always gives the best advice and not to mention has taught me so much about ALL the things when it comes to online visibility and showing up. As a matter of fact, hop on over to her IG and sign up for her workshop next week! It's all about enhancing your online visibility and it's only $27!!! Thank you @anchoradesign for this amazing advice and all the things you've taught me so far.

A lot of people ask me “how do you even get star

A lot of people ask me “how do you even get started as a Virtual Assistant.” They say “I want to do this, but I have no clue where to even begin. The answer: Facebook groups. Join them and join a lot of them! In my humble opinion, it’s the easiest way to network and find your next clients.

If you’re looking for a career change and have thought about becoming a Virtual Assistant, I would 100% recommend doing it. When you become a Virtual Assistant you work one-on-one with clients and offer services that you’re not only good at, but you get to choose what you LOVE to do. I am a firm believer that everyone out there has SOMETHING that they are good at.

Think about the things that you absolutely LOVE to do. Is it to communicate with people on Instagram, graphic design, write emails, talk on the phone, whatever it is you really enjoy - write those things down.

Once you have a list of things you enjoy doing and you feel good at, that will help narrow down your services. You can then determine your pricing, create a website and start looking for clients.

While it might be tempting to offer every service under the moon when you start, narrow it down to a few different things and get really good at it. Then you can start to identify where more opportunities are.

If you’re just getting started and want to connect, join my Facebook group! It’s small but mighty right now and I am working on growing it this year. I often get asked about services I do not offer, and 90% of the time I reach out to other VA’s I know. Link to join my group is in my bio. ☝️

Quality over Quantity. My husband always used to t

Quality over Quantity. My husband always used to tell me this and it’s stuck with me over the years in my professional and personal life. You can have 50 friends, but there are only a few good ones that will always be there at the drop of a hat no matter when you need them right?

This same quote goes for clients and your work. I am a firm believer if you have more clients than you can handle, your quality of work could be sacrificed. Of course this depends on the work you do and if you have the ability to outsource so it may not be the same for each business. For me personally and currently working as a one man band here, I’ve found my sweet spot of clients is 6 max. Therefore I always try to keep my client load under 6 clients and each of those clients have a max amount of hours allotted for the month. For me, this is just to ensure I have extra time during my week to help them out with anything that comes up. What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree or disagree? What have you found is the most helpful at juggling your workload? For me, it’s Asana. It’s been a game changer at keeping up with it all! Praise the lord for Asana that’s all I’m saying!

Let’s discuss in the comments. 👇

Hello 2021! What a crazy year it’s already been

Hello 2021! What a crazy year it’s already been to say the least! My word for 2020 summed up was perspective. I feel for many of us, last year was very challenging and difficult to say the least but for me it really put things in perspective. It’s kind of like the phrase “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade” and I feel that’s exactly what we did. When we were stuck inside, we were snuggled on the couch as a family watching movies (mostly toy story on repeat). When restaurants closed, we had picnics outside. Since having covid and losing my taste and smell, I’ve eaten more salads than I ever had in my entire life, and grocery delivery became my new favorite thing. Last but definitely not least, when I was laid off my 9-5 job last year, I took matters into my own hands, started networking like never before, applied for my LLC and Julie Horne Consulting was born. Now I am helping 5 amazing companies and I am loving it!

My word for 2021 is balance. I am focusing more on my health and eating “healthier” but finding a balance in it. That’s what it’s all about right? I am also forcing myself to slow down again this year, taking a little time for myself each week to do something I love. Whether it’s just a short walk, learning more about things I’m passionate about, spending time on my Etsy shop, I want to find the joy in the small things and not just spend all my time helping clients (which I LOVE by the way) but also time to invest in myself.

What’s your word and vision for 2021? I would love to hear! Tell me in the comments! :)

One of my former colleagues would always say this and it's stuck with me throughout my life and career. It is honestly so true. If you live by these words in all that you do, you will find more success. Stepping outside of your comfort zone is when you will find real joy and possibility.

Take the risks because if you don't you will never know what you may be missing out on. If it doesn't work out the way you hoped, you just learn from it and it will only make you that much better in the long run.

Just some motivation for your Tuesday. :)

I landed my first position as an Executive Assista

I landed my first position as an Executive Assistant in 2013. I was working for a timeshare company and assisted the President of Sales and Marketing. Oftentimes, I would hear the term “only an assistant”. For me, I looked at it as if I was one of the many reasons our executive office’s ship kept sailing. I always thought “if people knew what really went on behind the scenes of an Executive Assistant they would know they don’t get paid enough!” That Executive Assistant position was a stepping stone that enabled me to learn so many different aspects of assisting C-level executives. I was promoted at the same company and then my husband got a job offer in Texas so it suddenly felt like I had to start over in my career.

For the past four years, I have worked in a remote capacity all while being a mom to two kiddos. 💪 After moving to Texas, I was a freelancer for a while and one of the freelancing positions turned into another full-time job which I loved. Then guess what? Covid-19 hit and all of the hard work felt as if it was all for nothing again overnight. Suddenly I had this ah-ha moment. If it wasn’t for me starting to freelance in 2016, I wouldn’t even be where I was today.

Fast forward to today, I have landed four new clients - all from networking and word of mouth through well served clients. This “side gig” all started with working a couple hours a week and it’s been evolving slow and steady ever since.

I am telling you all of this because this all goes to show that it’s better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward.

If you’re looking for a new job or a career change, put yourself out there. Start as a freelancer, learn all the things, discover what you love doing and DO MORE OF IT!

What’s holding you back? I would love to hear in the comments.👇🏻🌟

Happy Wednesday! Since there are some new follower

Happy Wednesday! Since there are some new followers here, I wanted to take a moment to re-introduce myself. My name is Julie Horne and this is my husband, Drew. I have worked remotely for the past four years and absolutely love it. Working from home has helped me enjoy time with my two babies, Brady and Kennedy.

I've helped companies of all sizes, nonprofits and for-profits and just recently started my own VA business. I help online business owners scale by taking things off their plate such as:

✨ Asana organization
✨ Project management
✨ Event Planning
✨ Graphic design
✨ Copywriting
✨ Calendar management
✨ Product launches
✨ Landing page design
✨ Social media management
✨ Customer service
✨ And much, much more!

What is the best thing you have outsourced in your business? I would love to hear in the comments below. 👇🏻

Happy Tuesday Friends! I'm up and at 'em this morning! What's the first thing you do when you start your day? I have to have a cup of coffee (or a coke) before I do anything! I know an early morning coke may seem crazy for some, but it's just what gets me going! That and listening to Eric Church! I'm always curious as to how other people get their day going?

Do you ever get so caught up in the day-to-day tasks that you feel like the CEO title you have means you are the Chief Everything Officer? 🙋‍♀️How about the thought "if I just had another one of me?" 🙋‍♀️ Or if there were just a few more hours in the week, I'd be good! 🙋‍♀️ If you said yes to any of these three things, perhaps it is time to outsource an amazing Virtual Assistant? 💁‍♀️Big things have small beginnings. Hire someone to just take a few hours off your plate a week so you can really focus on growing your business to the next level! #savvybusinessowner #virtualassistantforhire #virtualassistant #ceomindset #workfromanywhere #bigthingshavesmallbeginnings #bigthingscoming #funnelhacker #facebookads #canvaguru #canvadesigns #marieforleobschool #bossbabe #bosslady #bossmom #bosswomanmindset #va #asana #takeyourbusinesstothenextlevel #takeyourbusinessonline #outsourcedbusiness

This is one of my favorite quotes and it is so true. Do you have limiting beliefs in your head that hold you back? What are they? Stop underestimate what you're capable of doing. I'll admit, I've been guilty of this. A lot actually.🙋‍♀️My limiting beliefs have mostly been "I don't have enough time" and I decided that was a lie I was telling myself to make me not do things. So here we are! I'm putting the finishing touches on my website and I can't wait to share it all with you in the next couple of days! I hope everyone has a great Wednesday! #virtualassistant #savvybusinessowner #savvybusinesswomen #virtualassistantforhire #ceomindset #hustlewithheart #bossbabe #bossbabeceo #freelancer #freelanceva #freemama #freemamamovement
