Episode Summary

In this special episode, Annie interviews Katelynn about the virtual assistant course that helped her go from single mom in survival mode to thriving CEO of Her Humble Hive. They talk about the messy middle of entrepreneurship, the mindset shifts that made the biggest difference, and why The Virtual Savvy program was a game changer in Katelynn’s journey.

You’ll hear how Katelynn built her business in the evenings after her son went to bed, launched without a website, and hit her first $10K month less than a year after starting. If you’ve ever wondered if the online business thing is real—or if you could actually do it—this episode is for you.

We’re also shouting out the free Virtual Assistant Summer Challenge, so if you’ve ever considered becoming a VA, don’t miss this one!👉 Join the Summer Challenge here.
