Fast forward four years, and after three back surgeries, countless painful days stuck on the sofa, and years of yo-yoing through medications that left her foggy and out of it, Erin was officially declared disabled. She was left dealing with foot drop, nerve damage, and chronic pain.But Erin is nothing if not determined (or stubborn, depending on who you ask!). Refusing to let her circumstances define her, she rebuilt her life on her own terms. She started a business that worked with her new reality, giving herself purpose and focus again. Today, Erin has built a strong brand and social media presence, and she runs a thriving virtual assistant business. She now helps solopreneurs, freelancers, and small business owners achieve their goals while showing what true resilience looks like.LINKS YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO CHECK OUT:Connect with Erin on Instagram, LinkedIn or FacebookCheck out Erin's websiteCONNECT WITH BECCI:Connect with Becci on Instagram, LinkedIn or FacebookJoin Becci's email communityTIMESTAMPS TO HELP YOU FIND WHAT YOU NEED:02:37 Navigating Business and Personal Challenges05:41 The Journey to Becoming a Virtual Assistant08:39 Understanding Anxiety in Business11:31 Redefining Networking14:30 The Rise of Online Networking17:05 Strategies for Overcoming Networking Anxiety20:05 Post-Event Reflections and Self-Validation23:03 Advice for New Business Owners26:05 Final Thoughts and Where to Find ErinSUPPORT THE SHOW:If you love this podcast and would like to show your support and say thank you, you can do so here.EPISODE TRANSCRIPTTap to downloadThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
