In 2009, she started her VA agency which unfortunately had to close its doors in 2019 due to the pandemic. This closure was a difficult but necessary decision as she prioritized her daughter's health, who is asthmatic and more susceptible to COVID-19. This challenge led Allie to adapt and shift her approach, which has resulted in the birth of Streamline Mavens.

Together with two other certified OBMs, Streamline Mavens is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and the unwavering pursuit of excellence.

Money is a deep-rooted issue in people who were raised to believe that they don’t have it and there’s no way of getting it. But that can’t be further from the truth. Conquering those limiting beliefs is part of the process.

If this is something you struggle with, consider this: What do you do that you would love to be paid for? Because the reality is, there are so many things that you may be good out that can generate income.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Daily tasks you may be good at but don’t realize you can charge money for
  • How to leverage your strengths and make money
  • The pushback you may experience when you set your boundaries
  • The power of saying “no”

The United States and Canada are not the ONLY countries where you are able to work as a virtual assistant or become an online service provider. In this case, the land of opportunity doesn’t matter. You just need a laptop or desktop computer and a stable internet connection!

Today, I will be sharing with you:

  • The different options you can choose in order to be paid
  • Setting your company up in the United States
  • When you should actually be getting your clients
  • How to maneuver different time zones
  • Where to find your clients
