Saying goodbye to Virtually Done

After 5(ish) years, it's time to say goodbye to Virtually Done.
This brand that I built by accident (it started off as a spontaneous Instagram handle) has been on every evolution with me so far from virtual assistant to agency to mentor and coach and if I'm totally honest, I think more people know the brand name than my actual name.
While it's been so much fun, it's time for something new.
