Be Fabbo - A Business + Personal Growth Podcast for Entrepreneurs and Leaders

We're in the last quarter of 2020 and what Bobbi hears most from her coaching students + other wedding pros is that in this season they are exhausted/scared/worried-not because they worked weddings/ events but if and when will they get back to working.  In Episode 55 Bobbi encourages you to not let fear creep in and to stop for a moment of gratitude for yourself because you are still standing.  As someone who is supportive and your best cheerleader, she's reminding you there is fabbo coming to you, your business and the industry in 2021 so keep betting on yourself, you deserve this last quarter victory lap.

Candid Conversation from This Episode

2:19   You wonder, am I where I'm supposed to be? Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing? How will I serve my clients? If I can't feel that I'm serving myself? If you think you can, or you think you can't? Either way, you're going to be right.
3:31   I want you to stop for a minute, look in the mirror, look in the rearview mirror, just stop for a second and go wow, I am still here. I'm standing.
10:15  2020 has given us plenty of opportunities. And I really have tried to look at it that way I've looked at it as here's the opportunity for us to refresh, reinvent, recharge.
15:07  Few people have seen our sacrifices and our dark days and our depressions trying to figure out what we're going to do. This might have just been the opportunity for us to take a hard look at some of the things that we're doing right.

"For over 40 years I’ve had the honor of capturing love stories as a wedding photographer for fabbo couples in authentic moments from coast to coast. Along the way I’ve met some of the most talented and hard-working business owners, many of whom I’m proud to call friends. Working alongside them, the conversations we shared often turned to burnout, frustration, and the loss of excitement, they felt their purpose was gone. It’s those conversations that led me here today, ready to cheer you on."

How do you know when it is time to hire a Virtual Assistant? When you get to the place where it's time to hire a qualified person to help you run your business, what do you do first?  With so many differences in rates and even specialties, you might wonder exactly what to do in order to get the best VA for you. 

The biggest question is often how do you know when your time is better spent serving your clients and not doing a particular task in your business? How do you know when you can afford not to be doing the things you don't want/need to do--- and hire that Virtual Assistant? Maybe you ARE a Virtual Assistant. Adding value to your clients might involve seeking out a virtual assistant mentor. Hiring a business coach/mentor is the best way to get on track and quickly see measurable results. 

Knowing how to choose a VA, making sure you have a contract, & thinking about a non-disclosure agreement are all parts of the very important decision to hire a new team member. Episode 51 of the Be Fabbo Podcast dives in to how to decide and get this done in the way that will best benefit you and your business.

Meet Shelly

As a creative entrepreneur who became a Virtual Assistant and moved on to mentoring and teaching others how to be a VA, Shelly learned that It's ok to try different things before you figure it out. She is a Virtual Assistant who has dabbled in a lot of different "specialties" before I finding out what she liked. 

Growing her VA business as a side hustle and teaching herself along the way, she's the first one to tell you that at the beginning she had no idea what she was doing! But she figured it out and now her goal is to teach others.

23:49    I love marriage. I and it's, it's important to me and I believe that like in my core, that better marriages equal better families equal better communities equal a better nation.
40:14   You need to have a big picture view of your business, a lot of photographers are like firefighters, they look at the job that has to be done today. They just do the single thing that's in front of them today and don't ever think about the big picture of their business. 
51:01    Take one task a week, and automate it so you never have to do it again. You do that for one year, and your business will be night and day different in a year's time.

"For over 40 years I’ve had the honor of capturing love stories for fabbo couples in authentic moments from coast to coast. I see so much potential in creative entrepreneurs, --more than they see in themselves. I’m a firm believer that with motivation and encouragement everyone can be empowered and know that who they are, what they do & how they serve is what makes them fabbo.

My purpose is to help you reclaim your purpose & remind you that you’re Fabbo……. just the way you are!"
