I'm really glad that you found your way here, and you are definitely in
Melyssa:
00:00:11

Melyssa:
00:00:15
major flexibility for your family.
Melyssa:
00:00:18
I really believe that this is an amazing podcast space to navigate
Melyssa:
00:00:22
motherhood and entrepreneurship together.
Melyssa:
00:00:25
I have a feeling that this is gonna be my favorite mom.
Melyssa:
00:00:29
So, who the heck am I even to be coming into your ear holes and
Melyssa:
00:00:33
leading us on this journey together?
Melyssa:
00:00:36
So four years ago, I was a single mom of four kids working
Melyssa:
00:00:40
part-time at a corporate job.
Melyssa:
00:00:42
I never really felt like I was giving enough to my job or my family.
Melyssa:
00:00:46
I knew I wanted a different way, and I knew I wanted more.
Melyssa:
00:00:50
I wanted more flexibility to work around my kids' busy
Melyssa:
00:00:53
activities and sports schedules.
Melyssa:
00:00:55
I wanted more control over the type of work I was.
Melyssa:
00:00:59
And importantly, more control over my ability to grow and earn a higher income.
Melyssa:
00:01:04
I took a gigantic leap of faith, quit my job, moved to a brand new state, and
Melyssa:
00:01:09
started a business as a virtual assistant.
Melyssa:
00:01:12
The result of that action was more of all of those things that I
Melyssa:
00:01:16
wanted, along with getting married and gaining a Buddha along the way.
Melyssa:
00:01:21
Having my own business as a virtual assistant rocked our
Melyssa:
00:01:24
family's world in so many positive.
Melyssa:
00:01:27
The time and financial freedom are huge benefits.
Melyssa:
00:01:31
I personally never felt as proud, fulfilled, and successful in the
Melyssa:
00:01:35
corporate world in my corporate roles as I do now as a small business owner.
Melyssa:
00:01:41
As much as I love working as a virtual assistant after time, I again started
Melyssa:
00:01:46
to get that nagging little itch for.
Melyssa:
00:01:49
Are you seeing a theme here?
Melyssa:
00:01:51
Can you guess why I picked the podcast name Mama's Making More?
Melyssa:
00:01:55
So this resulted in a transition into the coaching and course creation space.
Melyssa:
00:02:00
I have met so many moms who didn't even know that having their own
Melyssa:
00:02:05
business in the online space was not only possible, but easily attainable.
Melyssa:
00:02:10
That's really my mission, to educate other moms about having your own online.
Melyssa:
00:02:16
Now I'm a busy mom of five and a business coach helping moms just like
Melyssa:
00:02:20
you start, launch and grow an online business to make money from home.
Melyssa:
00:02:25
And in case you're not super familiar with it, what I'm referring to is a
Melyssa:
00:02:29
virtual assisting business, which is simply one where you are working for
Melyssa:
00:02:33
yourself, providing an online service to other businesses or individuals.
Melyssa:
00:02:38
You are the.
Melyssa:
00:02:40
So you might be thinking that this sounds a little bit boring and like a
Melyssa:
00:02:45
lot of admin work, and I totally get it.
Melyssa:
00:02:48
But what I'm here to tell you is that virtual assisting is really
Melyssa:
00:02:52
just an easy umbrella type of phrase that actually encompasses
Melyssa:
00:02:55
so many service options within it.
Melyssa:
00:02:57
Trust me, girl, I will have an entire episode soon breaking down
Melyssa:
00:03:00
all the types of services you can provide in your business.
Melyssa:
00:03:05
I wanna help you turn something that you are passionate about into a profitable.
Melyssa:
00:03:11
New episodes will be released every Monday, and yes, of course, I picked
Melyssa:
00:03:15
that day of the week to drop new episodes because my last name is Monday.
Melyssa:
00:03:20
From deciding what type of business to launch, creating offers, digital
Melyssa:
00:03:24
marketing and connecting with clients, we're gonna cover the essential
Melyssa:
00:03:28
business foundations without all the fluff, all while balancing mother.
Melyssa:
00:03:33

Melyssa:
