I am joined today by fellow Freed member Becky Pool, founder and C.E.O. of Country Chick's Solutions, an online virtual assistant service for coaches, mentors, and online business owners who are looking to be online in a greater capacity or are looking to grow their online presence and influence.
2020 was a very difficult year for many of us, as it was for Becky. Becky was completely shocked when she unexpectedly lost her corporate job in late March of 2020, and she, for several months, worked remotely as a contract employee before starting Country Chick's Solutions in September of 2020. From a young age, Becky knew that she wanted to own her own business and make a difference, and having twenty years of experience in administrative work, she was perfect for her new role as an entrepreneur doing online virtual assistant work.
Becky offers a couple of pieces of advice to us, advising us that while losing your job is scary, starting your own business can be even scarier, so we should find someone who will encourage us and support us if we aren't sure of where our talents lie. She also assures us that it's okay for our dreams and goals to be scary, that they, in fact, should be if they're worthwhile. She even recommends a book to us and reveals what she believes her superpower to be!
