My guest today is Gina Horkey of Horkey Handbook. She’s is a married, millennial mama to two precocious kiddos from Minnesota. Additionally, she’s the founder of Horkey HandBook, a website geared towards helping others find or become a kickass virtual assistant.
Gina’s background includes making a living as a professional writer, an online business marketing consultant and a decade of experience in the financial services industry.
Today we’re talking about:
- How Gina made the transition to self-employed first as a freelance writer, then as a Virtual Assistant.
- How Gina rearranged her schedule to work on her side hustle.
- Why Gina decided to create a course teaching others how to build a successful VA business.
- How Gina stands out with her marketing, and some niches that VA’s aren’t currently targeting that could be great opportunities for you.
- Traits of an ideal Virtual Assistant
- Why you should make mistakes and embrace failure in your side hustle.
- How to figure out your hourly rate.
- Gina’s advice for someone who is struggling to grow their side hustle.
- The one belief Gina had to change about herself to get where she is today.
My favorite quotes from Gina:
- “I’m helping people realize their goals and their dreams while being authentic and real at the same time.”
- “Find your kind of people by showing yourself. Including your flaws, you’ll connect the most when you are authentically you.”
- “Position yourself [to your ideal clients] as an investment and not an expense.”
- “The mistakes and failures are where you learn the most.”
- “[Being] business-minded is a learned skill and trait.”
- “If you don’t dream big, you’re not going to get big results.”
