Sadie built a team and gave herself a paid maternity leave.
"I took Abbey's program in August of 2018. I quit my full time job in November of 2018 and now I run a Virtual Assistant Agency that supports female entrepreneurs, creatives, and coaches. I have a team of 5 women and am about to hire 3 more team members in August. I got to take a 3 month maternity leave and my business still ran seamlessly and I paid myself consecutively a large salary all while spending precious time with my baby and learning how to be a momma. Abbey's course does work and I am so thankful I found her!"
Kayleigh now runs an OBM and VA agency.
"I can't believe it, y'all! One year. One year ago I quite literally stumbled upon Abbey Ashley and found out about virtual assistant businesses. Now a year later and I run a VA and OBM agency. Like WHAT. I seriously always tell my family I had no clue this is the path I was going down, but HERE WE ARE, SIS! Someone pinch me! Literally living my dream life. Just thought I would post in the group that has helped me in so many ways. Thanks, Virtual Savvy!"
Lynette is fully booked after leaving a 15 year career!
"Leaving my career after 15 years to start my own business as a Virtual Assistant was huge for me.
I am approaching the one-year anniversary of when I decided to start this journey and I can absolutely 100% assure you that I wouldn't be where I am without this program and the amazing people I've met. Since starting the Savvy System, I've been fully booked, I've expanded my services, AND now, thanks to all of the education and knowledge sharing, I'm embarking on the next step of my entrepreneurial journey and entering a Director of Operations Program.
I could go on and on about Abbey, her amazing team and the incredible community she's built, but I'll sum it up here and just say this… Joining this program was THE BEST first decision I made hands down! There's no way for you to truly know up front all the value that comes along with your financial and mental investment in this program. Literally, it was THE BEST first decision I made… I hope you make the same choice and if I can help in any way… I am always available. Love you guys!"
Kelcie is crushing it after only two months!
'Two months!! I've officially been a VA for two months and I have 4 signed clients, another Discovery Call tomorrow and another potential client in the works. Eek!
I'm seriously speechless. Beyond excited and just extremely grateful. This group, this community, of fantastic people, helped push me past the point of my own fears and self-doubt. I was on the fence about purchasing the SavvySystem, but I knew that I had to start somewhere. Then I was so nervous about announcing my new business venture to my family and friends, but I pushed that button and it was off and at that point, I actually started to think, "I can really do this!".
From that point on, I followed all the advice given through the system and I've found success. I've found jobs posted in this group (and elsewhere) by adding VALUE to my proposals and I'm beyond ecstatic by how far I've come in just two short months.
For the other self-doubters in the group, you CAN do this, you WILL do this, KEEP GOING! Trust me, if I can do this, so can you! 😁👏'
Even more wins!

"The Assist Lab wouldn't have even been a thing had it not been for the SavvySystem. This system gave me the confidence to reach out to people and offer them these services, even though I hadn't had a TON of experience in this field. I started this business knowing that I could do it, I just needed to trust the process and continue to push forward."

"I wouldn't be where I am today without the SavvySystem. The program helped me have a SOLID foundation to build on. If I went back to do it over again, I would do it the very same way. I see so many people who have come into my industry who didn't have the same start/foundation and they feel lost. I'm so so grateful for finding this program and for diligently putting in the work. THANK YOU SavvySystem!"

"In just a few months, I will be coming up on my one-year anniversary of starting my VA business. A few months into this new adventure, I stumbled across SavvyCircle. While I was hesitant to join at first (since I just invested a lot of money into becoming certified), I took a leap of faith and signed up for SavvyCircle! I'm so glad I did because not only was I able to quit my corporate job, I am fully booked and have replaced my corporate income - in less than 1 year! I'm not sure I would have gotten even half of those results without the support and guidance of the SavvyCircle team! I will never be able to say THANK YOU enough!"

"I'm finally understanding the beauty of packages and doing fractional work, so I am not trading dollars for hours. SavvyCircle has helped me stay focused and see the value in having an offer that is different and sustainable. Launching my HR side has opened up a way for me to launch other packages and work that I have been wanting to do. I see a full shift to that type of work, and hiring people to do the admin packages in my initial business; so I can focus on the work I love."
Rose Sanders, Penguin Executive Office
Owner, Remote Administrative Assistant
"I feel The Virtual Savvy gives me the courage and support to know the importance of what I do. I support small businesses and I believe professionalism and customer support are key, no matter the size. SavvySystem is key and supports the value in this. I read the stories shared on the Facebook page every day. It helps me to feel like I am in a community. You don't get that when you work at home. It is a wonderful support system."
Alicia Scalisi, AMS Virtual
"Hiring VAs to help me with clients was a big win. I was always the "control freak" in a sense — it had to be me to do the work. I was getting so overwhelmed with the amount of work and having 5 young children, I knew I had to jump and "do it scared" as Theis would say. I finally made that decision and it was the best one I made! I now have 3 VAs working with me to help me grow!"

"Started the SavvySystem in August 2020 after I lost 2/3 of my business to Covid. I was bringing in less than $2000 a month. As I worked through the system and met people I was able to use my skills to reach out to others in my network and landed a new client from #job opp. I slowly climbed the ladder each month bringing in more revenue. In Spring 2021 I started bringing in $5-6K. I was capped, then started subcontracting. In August 2021 I brought in 10K. September I brought in $6500 BUT I was on a 2 week, not working vacation, so this was just for 2 weeks! October I am on track for close to $10K again. Yay! Thank you Rachel and the SS team :)."
