Today’s guest is Skye McLain, a self-employed virtual assistant who has a side hustle as a lifestyle blogger. In part one of my interview with Skye, we talk about: The most important thing Skye did to get her first four virtual assistant clients. The two things that helped Skye take the leap in starting her own business. Why looking at what other people in your space are doing can keep you stuck. Why “Perfection is the Enemy of Done”. Why Skye is grateful that she was fired from her day job. How Skye’s long-time hobby lifestyle blog turned into a side hustle to her VA business. Skye’s breakdown of exactly how bloggers make money from her perspective as a lifestyle blogger. The blogging monetization tactic that can make you the most money. Why you can still make money online even if you’re not teaching people how to make money online. The one thing that will help you start seeing results from using affiliate links. Why being “authentic” and “transparent” isn’t a strategy. And you’re not going to want to miss part two of my episode with Skye as we get deep into topics like personal finance, self-worth and giving a deeper meaning to lifestyle blogging.

Skye is just your regular southern girl, a Texas girl at heart, living in Louisiana with her husband and new son! A total type-a, list-making, obsessive-compulsive, task-oriented, perfectionist maniac. Her day job is a behind the scenes ninja as a virtual assistant to creative bloggers and handmade business owners. Her creative escape is Your Texas is Showing™, a line of tees for those who like to let their Texas hang out a bit! We had a blast chatting with Skye! She shares about her many jobs and degrees she went to school for before she would her "IT" job! "I had no idea that you could make a career out of doing something from home that you loved where you could be creative." From a failed etsy shop and blog she realized she loved the behind the scenes stuff.  Creating listings, putting processes in place, and doing all those detailed orientated things many business owners don't like to do! Skye also shares with us that when she decided to start a virtual assistant business she did the online version of cold calling and emailed a few bloggers/handmade business owners to see if they needed help! They said yes! "It's so important to find your own version of success because you can't base anything that you do off of other people. You're going to end up failing every time." She describes success for her right now, "I have learned a lot about who I am, a lot about what I can and can't do. Where my strengths are and were my weaknesses are and I've owned that." "Success has been learning how to really manage my time. Be the boss of my own time rather than let somebody else be the boss of it for me." Skye held many different jobs for many years.  She says she said "yes" to a lot of things without thinking too much about it. She knew if she just kept going she would eventually find what made her feel fulfilled. But it by no means happened over night! She spent years in the more corporate or traditional working world before she started her virtual assistant business 4 years ago. 2.5 years ago she took that business full-time, thanks to a boss who fired her! Yes, she was fired! Not the way most people are fired, her boss knew Skye was on to something and knew she wouldn't take the leap unless she got a bit of a push. "I knew that there was something better for me and I knew that there was something that would make me feel fulfilled and make me happy as a person. I just had to wait. And when the timing was right it happened. It took years."

SKYE McLain, is your regular Southern girl, born in Texas and living in Louisiana with her husband and son. She started and runs her VA business from home and helps creative bloggers and independent business owners stay organized. She’s also be releasing her virtual assistant directory, where business owners can browse for the perfect VA for them, a matching service if you want to get hooked up with the perfect person to help you, and coaching services for those who are ready to get started but don’t know where to begin.
