When Abbey Ashley found out she was pregnant with her second baby, she knew something had to change. In this episode, she shares how she started a virtual assistant business during her pregnancy after realizing they couldn’t afford two kids in daycare – and she didn’t want to work just to cover childcare.
With nothing but nap times and a strong sense of “I can do this,” she built a business that was already running without her by the time her son arrived. She takes listeners behind the scenes of how she created income before her baby was born, how she prepared her business to run during maternity leave, and what it looked like to navigate an unexpected turn when her son came 4.5 weeks early due to preeclampsia.
Abbey Ashley Bio
Abbey Ashley is the founder of The Virtual Savvy, a multi-million-dollar online education company that has helped thousands of women build flexible, work-from-home careers as virtual assistants. She leads a community of more than 140,000 VAs worldwide and has been recognized by Forbes Next 1000 and Inc. Magazine’s Top 100 Female Entrepreneurs.
Abbey’s entrepreneurial journey began during her second pregnancy, when she realized that the traditional 9-to-5 path no longer fit the life she wanted for her growing family. With limited time, working during nap times, and a strong determination to create something different, she built a virtual assistant business that was already generating income before her son arrived – and structured it to run without her during maternity leave.
Today, Abbey is passionate about helping other women create income and flexibility on their own terms. She teaches both business owners how to effectively delegate and scale with virtual assistants, and aspiring VAs how to turn their existing skills into a profitable, family-first business.
