113. Time Blocking Your Way to 5K Months: A VA Success Story with Alexis Pixler

from Booked Out with Bre · host Bre Cain | Virtual Assistant Wealth Coach

In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I am so excited to bring on the amazing Alexis Pixler, a powerhouse from our VA Leadership Academy family! Alexis's story is a beautiful example of what can happen when you give your dreams a second chance, this time with the right support, mindset, and strategy. Alexis actually started a VA business back in 2020 out of necessity, but without the right structure, it didn't take off. After returning to the corporate world, she knew she was meant for more and decided to relaunch her business. This time, everything was different. In just 90 days, she's already on track to hit 5K months and is paying for her wedding in full! Here’s what I chat about with Alexis: Her journey of starting a VA business twice, and the key differences that led to her explosive success the second time around. The profound impact of "identity work" and how it gave her the confidence to build a business around her true passions. How she went from scrambling for any job to strategically attracting clients she loves to work with. The incredible, life-changing results she's seen in just three months—from paying off debt to planning her dream wedding and getting ready to buy a house. The critical lesson she learned about not trading time for money and the importance of creating value-based packages. An inside look at her business as a systems and operations VA and how she serves as the operational backbone for her clients. If you've ever tried something that didn't work out the first time or are looking for the confidence to finally go all-in on your business, Alexis's story of her "do-over" will inspire you to believe in your own success.
