“I Could Finally Take a Weekend Off”: What Happens When You Get Support
Joyfully Organized is launching a blog post series to highlight our clients’ awesome achievements and demonstrate how we have partnered with clients to achieve more in their business ventures. With these case studies, you’ll see the variety of the services offered by our virtual assistants (VA), in a real-life context. We hope this sparks some creativity about what you may be able to create for your own business.
And for this one, we’re going back into the vault with one of our first clients.
“Sometimes you can’t afford not to have a VA.” – Adele Michal
This story starts with a brilliant business owner who had a bold idea: an in-person, recurring workshop series designed to support and inspire her audience. She had the vision, the content, and the community—but like many creative entrepreneurs, she didn’t have the time (or desire) to manage the logistics herself.
She turned to our team for help.
We started by building a reusable system for all the moving parts behind the scenes. From marketing and registration to automated email reminders and post-event follow-ups, we streamlined the entire experience. We helped her choose and connect the right tools, then documented the workflow so it could run smoothly month after month.
Suddenly, the workshop didn’t require late nights or frantic tech troubleshooting. She could focus on what she loved most: showing up, sharing her message, and growing her business.
When the world shifted in 2020, we worked together to move the workshop online. Thanks to the systems already in place, the transition was seamless. For years she used it as a repeatable virtual experience that grew her community, and her influence.
With her workshop running like a well-oiled machine, she had more capacity to create new offers. She launched a video series, built out a new course, and expanded her brand visibility online. Our partnership gave her the peace of mind to experiment, grow, and rest—knowing the backend of her business was in good hands.
Tips for Making the Most of VA Support
Start Small: If you’re new to working with a VA, start with one recurring task or project. Choose something that drains your time or energy, and hand it off.
Batch Your Content: One of the easiest ways to get ahead in your marketing is to batch your content (emails, newsletters, videos, social posts) and let your VA handle scheduling.
Build a Repeatable System: We don’t just help you do the work—we create workflows so your business can run without reinventing the wheel every time.
Trust the Partnership: A VA isn’t just a task-ticker—they’re a thought partner. Our most successful clients treat us like collaborators, not assistants.
Whether you're launching a new offer, running live events, or just trying to stay consistent with your marketing, the truth is this:
You don’t have to do it all alone.
You weren’t meant to.
At Joyfully Organized, we specialize in simplifying the backend of your business so you can focus on what you love—and finally take that weekend off.
