A New Year Pep Talk For VAs and OBMs

This time of year can feel a bit strange. Everyone seems to be charging ahead with big goals and bold plans, while you might still be feeling tired, reflective, or unsure what you actually want next. If you’re a VA, OBM, or online service provider who wants your business to grow but not at the cost of your health, family, or flexibility, this episode is a gentle pause. A chance to slow things down and think about what you’re really building, not just what you feel like you should be working towards. In this episode, Adrienne Donnelly, guides you through a thoughtful approach to goal setting for 2026. Rather than rushing straight into new plans, Adrienne invites you to reflect on the year that’s been, define what success actually means for you, and choose goals that align with your current season of life. If you are wanting clarity, direction, and intention, without pressure or perfection, this episode is for you.
