You Have Less Time Than You Think
Jun 22, 2026
I spent my 30's and 40's trying to get somewhere that I realized in my 50's would never make me happy.
I was trying to climb the ladder of financial success, I was extremely status conscious, and felt judgement everywhere I looked.
I heard people talk about designing a life they loved, but frankly I thought it was bologna because how could that even work with reality.
And then I found a coach who believed in me.
He didn't just tell me it was possible. He showed me. He modeled what a life on your own terms actually looked like. He had built it himself.
He showed me that being a Virtual Assistant - working for myself, from home, on my own schedule - could give me the life I'd thought wasn't realistic.
That's when everything changed. I saw time differently. I saw happiness differently.
You don't know you're on auto-pilot until you wake up and wonder where the years went.
Now I think about every moment. Not in a can't sit down, there's so much to do, exhausting way. Just intentionally. I ask myself how I want to feel at the end of an experience before I start it. I stopped letting time slip by like it didn't matter.
Because it matters. And there's less of it than we think.
I watch women spend their evenings doom scrolling, numbing out with TV, doing mindlessly unimportant things and calling it rest. It's not rest. It's avoidance.
I watch women stay in jobs that drain them because it feels safer than trying something new. Or spend months searching for another job they don't even want because that's what they're supposed to do.
And the whole time, the clock is ticking.
Here's what I want to ask you:
What if you took a chance?
What if instead of scrolling, you spent an hour learning something that could change your life? What if instead of dreading Monday, you built something that made you excited to work? What if instead of asking permission for time off, you decided when you worked and when you didn't?
That's what being a Virtual Assistant gave me.
For fifteen years I worked from home. I set my own hours. I chose my clients. I took time off when I wanted it. I built something that was mine.
And I did it at 50, after a failed business and a layoff, when everyone told me to get a real job.
Now I teach other women how to do the same thing.
You have more options than you think. But you have less time than you think too.
This isn't meant to scare you. It's meant to wake you up.
Your 40s, your 50s, your 60s - they go fast. Faster than you expect. The years you spend on autopilot are years you don't get back.
Your turn is now.
I'm opening the waitlist for the next VA Business Launch Pad.
Three free live sessions where I'll show you what a Virtual Assistant actually does, how to know if you have the right skills, how to find clients, and how to price your services.
If this has been something you think about, come find out if it's real.
