{Hire Blog Help, a new eBook on hiring a Virtual Assistant}

August 1, 2011 · 13 Comments
Filed Under: blog & handmade advice

This is so exciting — I’m here to share with you a new eBook that’s aimed at hiring a Virtual Assistant called Hire Blog Help. Many business owners have someone behind-the-scenes helping them out, and guess what? I do, too. Her name is Cambria and she helps me with email {multiple accounts}, blog projects, sponsorship ads, shipping quotes, and more. She sits in-house with me, and hiring her was seriously one of my top 5 best biz decisions to-date. {Hi, Cambria!}

Like many biz assistants, Cambria started out with just a few tasks, but that quickly turned into more and more and more. It has been so incredibly helpful to have her, and like Jeannett shares in her eBook, once you hire someone to help you with the “little” things, you’ll find yourself free to do more of the bigger projects ~ projects that grow your business and take it to the next level. YEOW!

Hire Blog Help is 84 pages and FEATURES WISDOM FROM…
Lindsey Cheney, The Pleated Poppy
Lisa Leonard, Lisa Leonard Designs
Tsh Oxenreider, Simple Mom Media
Leigh Ann Keffer & Kyla Roma, Freckled Nest
Maggie Whitley, Gussy Sews <-- that's me! Lisa Morosky, The Home Life [and Me]
Toni, TomKat Studios

and INCLUDES ADVICE ON…
*How to find your VA
*How hiring helps increase sales/helps your business tangibly
*What hiring help can do to your personal workload/sense of peace/stress level
*The top 3 most important qualities in a VA
*Overcoming your biggest fear in hiring help
*Encouraging from the above Featured biz owners on hiring help {don’t be afraid to take the plunge!}

♥ If you’re ready to hire help, even if you THINK you may be ready to hire, you need this eBook. It’s $9.99 and can be purchased here. PS. the links inside are affiliate links, which mean I’ll receive a small % of each sale.

    Does it happen to address determining a salary for an assistant?? I have thought about it & know I need to, but have no idea how to determine that.

    FYI Jessica – The ebook contains a special link in the chapter I wrote to my discounted blog helper rates, just for “Hire Blog Help” readers. So if you’re wanting to test the waters, and not spend a lot of cashola, might be an option. :)

    Hey now we need to make a network to link up candidates for VAs and Bloggers! :) Or maybe the book talks about finding a VA! Either way I’m totally grabbing this book! xx

    I have seriously looked into being a VA. I think it would be a great gig, and I’m totally fine with being on call for a business that I believe in.

“We are preparing to wind down for the school ye “We are preparing to wind down for the school year with just a few more weeks of intentional table lessons. We will then transition to a lighter learning schedule during the summer months. Today I am grateful for the books and resources I’ve read that have helped keep me in my own lane. (Visit my blog to see a personal favorite.)

Even now, three years in, I appreciate the reminder to stay on the path that was designed with intentional thought just for me.”

I took off my “comparison / contemplation” gla I took off my “comparison / contemplation” glasses last month and it’s been soooooo good. See also: sooooo hard (because life is never and/or). I’ve been writing more, reading more, spending more time outside. Talking to friends faces and smelling their detergent. My heart feels lighter. I’m sharing a few updates on my blog if you’d like to read? 🌾🤓blog reading & writing is a much better pace for me. You too? Link in profile.

I fought every internal comment I could think of a I fought every internal comment I could think of and took my kiddos for a looooong walk today before dinner. ❄️✨ There’s just so much work required to raise children! I’m feeling like a tired lady. But sunshine & fresh air are good companions to keep around. 

We came home and I made “the best dinner ever”. Max specifically announced, “it’s so great you’re launching new meals to the world”. LOL— kids! 🤣👏🏻💓
How about a little Wednesday night introduction? 😘Social media sure has changed over the years and we don’t always SEE who we’re following or remember WHY we’re following certain accounts. 

So, hello! As you can gather, my name is Maggie ;) 

I started writing online (almost 13 years ago) to share the handmade products I was sewing. My shop was called Gussy Sews. ✂️👛I love the community that has grown from sewing & sharing online.

Let’s FFW to today: Zack and I live in Michigan and have four young children (2 boys & 2 girls). I slowly left the handmade industry and walked right into homemaking, homeschooling, and encouraging women through writing. 💕📝

Motherhood has been very hard on me. (And not just because of how close in age our four children are.) It’s been hard for me because I fought for years to accept that *it’s supposed to be hard*. 

I mean, how do you effectively teach another person to know and love the Lord? Bc that’s how I think of motherhood: a calling to nurture others by studying the One who nurtures me. So I gotta make the first move: study the Bible and seek Him first. As my friend Autumn reminded me, vulnerability births transformation. 

(I’ve had to be really vulnerable!)

So, yes motherhood has fully transformed me. But even more so, Christ has fully transformed me. My list of “all that He’s done for me” is off to a beautifully long start.

Something else I want you to know about me: I stalled for years before acknowledging I have anxiety and depression. It’s hard to talk about this because of course this isn’t forever “my hardship”, but rather because acknowledging this means to heal I have to work through some really difficult things. ✨

But my friend Jesus walks alongside me. He’s already done a mighty work in my heart, including helping me process my anger in healthier ways. I’ve also adopted a heart for sisterhood, mothering, and Titus 2 mentorship.

Sometimes our greatest losses are our greatest gains? That’s what I’m clinging to!

How about you? Tell me something about yourself so I can get to know you on a deeper heart level. 🖤🖤

We had gotten a bit lazy with our rhythms: screens We had gotten a bit lazy with our rhythms: screens in the morning (HGTV), playtime before lessons, and not enough quiet time after lunch. This made for a really, ummm, unenjoyable learning experience. 

But today! Today we reset the rhythm, and we have had a much happier home & time learning together. 👏🏻

It’s another cold, winter day. ❄️Today I hop It’s another cold, winter day. ❄️Today I hope to bundle up for another family nature walk, knowing the fresh air sweeps out any & all frustration, inviting inspiration inside. ✨That’s something we all need more of.
