The Business of Thinking Big
Simple Growth Strategies with Shaughnessy King
Have you ever wondered if it’s really possible to grow a business with ease — and without burning out?
This week on The Business of Thinking Big, I’m joined by Shaughnessy King, founder and CEO of Success by Ness, a virtual assistant agency providing high-level admin support to entrepreneurs… and this year’s MamaPreneur Fund Grand Prize winner!
From solo VA to six-woman dream team, Shaughnessy shares how she transitioned from burnout to balance by intentionally scaling her business. We dive into the mindset, systems, and strategies that helped her grow a sustainable and joyful agency — one that supports both her clients and her team of incredible moms.
Whether you're a service provider ready to scale, or you're looking to outsource with confidence, this episode is your permission slip to dream big and grow smart. 💫
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- How Shaughnessy transitioned from childcare director to successful agency CEO
- What mindset shifts were necessary to confidently raise her prices and hire her dream team
- The metrics she uses to know when it’s time to grow
- How staying consistent with marketing and follow-up paid off big time
- The power of building a business that supports not just your family — but others, too
