The moment that pushes you to take a leap of faith, jump into the deep end, and pursue your entrepreneurial dream. For some, it\u2019s career motivated \u2014outgrowing a corporate role, seeking high earnings on your own terms, or wanting to be your own boss. For others, it\u2019s about values. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.honeybook.com\/blog\/independent-business-statistics\">data from 2023<\/a> shows these motivators for starting your own business: greater flexibility and autonomy, or pursuing a passion beyond the traditional 9-to-5.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Emilie Given, founder and CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shesagiven.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">She\u2019s a Given<\/a>, \u201cthat moment\u201d was a highly personal one. \u201cI was working in corporate at Amazon as an executive assistant,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd I had a near-death experience while giving birth to my son, where both of us were at risk.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the time, I was spending 3 hours commuting every day\u2014an hour and a half there and an hour and a half back\u2014getting home at 6:30 and putting my baby to bed at 7:30.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe experience of nearly losing mine and my baby\u2019s life made me realize that life is really short,\u201d continues Emilie. \u201cAnd that I wanted to prioritize myself and my family.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Emilie began freelancing as a virtual executive assistant in the evenings and on the weekends. She started her business to carve out a different future for herself and her family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, Emilie built up a full client roster while still working full-time. By July 2019, she was ready to leave Amazon and go out on her own.&nbsp; In the six years since, she\u2019s scaled her business from a team of one to 45 visual assistants across the US, hitting seven figures and growing her revenue 15X (1,386%).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s her story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building a relationship-based business at scale&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Emilie started her business as a team of one. She already had a great client roster, but to become the full-fledged agency she imagined for herself, she knew she had to scale.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Emilie, growing her business wasn\u2019t about making more money. It was to create something meaningful for professional women, like her. \u201cI wanted to create an opportunity for other women who wanted the flexibility to stay at home but still make money and have a career,\u201d says Emilie.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was also about reaching a new level in her career and life. \u201cI\u2019m a former foster kid and I don&#8217;t have a college degree,\u201d says Emilie. \u201cBeyond the business, I wanted to prove to myself and to other people that I could have a successful business without a formal college education.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firmly focused on growing her business, it was time for Emilie to get to work. And she went all in. \u201cI was hungry for information. So I learned everything that I could, took a lot of courses, and invested in teachers and coaches.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emilie even did <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.honeybook.com\/blog\/email-outreach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"cold outreach\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4985\">cold outreach<\/a> to successful entrepreneurs she admired to pick their brains and learn from their experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What she learned was that great relationships and communication were everything\u2014from clients to your own team. &#8220;My business foundation became really simple. It\u2019s just \u2018hey, like, I&#8217;m actually interested in you. I want to get to know you.\u2019\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach\u2014prioritizing honesty, authenticity, and openness\u2014is what has set and continues to set her business apart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cMy number one core value is relationships first.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, this means that Emilie is uncompromising about maintaining high-quality service and personal connection, even as she scales.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also means staying hands-on with her business. &#8220;Even today, I take each one of my sales calls, and I am personally involved in hiring each of my employees. My number one core value is relationships first,&#8221; she emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s paid off. With relationships at her core, Emilie has built She\u2019s a Given into a thriving business. One that has created opportunities for women across the country while maintaining the personal touch and quality service that started it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How HoneyBook helped Emilie grow her business&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a HoneyBook member for over six years, Emilie has consistently leveraged the platform to support her growth from solo freelancer to agency owner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the moment she went full time she knew she needed to scale her systems to match her business ambition. She started on HoneyBook as a team of one and still uses it today as her business has grown to 45 virtual assistants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HoneyBook has supported her <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.honeybook.com\/blog\/business-growth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"business growth\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4986\">business growth<\/a> and been a key part of her long-term success. Here are some of the features that have made the biggest impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Automations that streamline her workflow and save time&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, even the simplest automations can have a transformative effect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What once took 10 hours now takes just one hour, thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.honeybook.com\/lp\/ai-start\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HoneyBook&#8217;s automations and centralized communication<\/a>. This efficiency gain doesn&#8217;t just save time\u2014it creates capacity for Emilie to take on more clients, scale her business,&nbsp;and invest in strategic growth initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the owner and operator of She\u2019s A Given for over 6 years\u2014Emilie\u2019s journey has required her to take on everything from client communications and identifying leads to business strategy and growth. At the same time, Emilie is also managing her own team, and helping empower their work and growth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emilie knew this wasn\u2019t sustainable. So as the company grew, she started strategically using <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.honeybook.com\/blog\/honeybook-automations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"HoneyBook automations\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4987\">HoneyBook automations<\/a> to dramatically reduce her workload.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest impact involves lead capture: &#8220;I used to have people fill out a Squarespace form. And then it would get sent to my email, then I would have put the project into HoneyBook manually, and then go from there,\u201d says Emilie. \u201cIt was a time suck.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To cut down on all this manual work, she created an automation trigger when someone submits HoneyBook lead form so that a new project is created in her account instantly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even for such a seemingly simple task, the time savings have been substantial. Now, Emilie can focus her attention on what matters most\u2014running her business and achieving her goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HoneyBook Capital<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Emilie has utilized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.honeybook.com\/app\/capital\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HoneyBook Capital<\/a> three times to fuel her business growth, finding it far superior to traditional small business loans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A lot of the other small business loans can be quite predatory. The percentages are often super high, and you&#8217;re paying it back every single week,&#8221; she explains. &#8220;With HoneyBook Capital, I really like how the payments come out of the payments that you\u2019re being paid\u2014so it just makes it seamless.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&nbsp;&#8220;Through HoneyBook Capital, I\u2019ve been able to invest in marketing, which has been huge for my business.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>HoneyBook Capital has unlocked investments in her business that range from marketing and SEO to business coaching and even emergency funding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Through HoneyBook Capital I\u2019ve been able to invest in marketing, which has been huge for growing my business,\u201d says Emilie. \u201cInvesting in SEO marketing in particular has been incredibly helpful in driving leads and business. We now rank on the first page for virtual assistant agency, which makes our business immediately discoverable to anyone seeking this service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Emilie, HoneyBook Capital has proven to be more than just funding\u2014it&#8217;s been the catalyst that transformed her vision into measurable, sustainable success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personalized experiences to set her business apart&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of Emilie\u2019s business are her client relationships, and HoneyBook has helped her maintain the personal touch her business is known for, while scaling.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all in the details,\u201d says Emilie. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.honeybook.com\/features\">Using HoneyBook she captures client details<\/a> like birthdays, like and dislikes, and family connections. \u201cIt has been really helpful in building those relationships and maintaining trust.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also appreciates newer features like that help her understand her clients better: &#8220;I love how HoneyBook AI brings in information about their details and more\u2014that&#8217;s been pretty helpful in providing that personalized touch.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond having clear information at her fingertips, HoneyBook\u2019s core booking features\u2014invoice, contract, and payments\u2014have been critical to elevating her brand. &#8220;I don\u2019t want to be the person who sends you a contract in Google Docs and then gives you an invoice from Square\u2014it just feels so disjointed, and with HoneyBook I\u2019ve been able to present more professionally to my clients.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWith HoneyBook, I\u2019ve been able to present more professionally to my clients\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to building client trust,&nbsp; HoneyBook has been more than just a tool for Emilie\u2014it&#8217;s been a growth partner. &#8220;HoneyBook has been such a great thing for my business, and it helps me feel so much more organized, and it makes me very professional as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Centralized communication on HoneyBook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the business has grown, keeping all <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"client communication\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4988\" href=\"https:\/\/www.honeybook.com\/blog\/effective-communication-with-clients\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">client communication<\/a> in one place has been a game-changer for Emilie\u2014both organization and team collaboration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s really helpful to have the whole communication chain in HoneyBook,&#8221; she notes. &#8220;I shifted away from creating emails in Gmail to talk to my clients and instead use HoneyBook\u2019s [client] portal so that everything is trackable.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This centralized approach has been especially valuable as she&#8217;s scaled her team. &#8220;It&#8217;s helped me delegate more efficiently because my team can have access to the conversation history, files, and entire history with a client,&#8221; Emilie explains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, Emilie has significantly streamlined her operations and can delegate more confidently knowing her team has easy access to the information they need. All of which lets her focus on business strategy. &#8220;It&#8217;s really helped me develop and increase my capacity for growth,\u201d says Emilie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From a one-person team to a thriving 7-figure business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2714\ufe0f$1.2 million in revenue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2714\ufe0fClient onboarding process now takes 1 hour\u2014versus 10<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2714\ufe0fScaled team from 1 person to 45 people in 6 years&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2714\ufe0fGrew revenue by 15X since starting her business&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The numbers tell Emilie&#8217;s story best. In six short years, she&#8217;s grown her team from one person to 45 assistants and hit the seven-figure mark, grossing $1.2 million last year alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This success isn&#8217;t accidental\u2014it&#8217;s the direct result of her strategic approach to growth, leveraging HoneyBook to work more efficiently and scale rapidly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s next: Expanding her impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Emilie&#8217;s success story is far from over. She&#8217;s now focused on two key areas of growth that align with her mission of helping others succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, she&#8217;s expanding her agency&#8217;s role in supporting the executive assistant community during challenging times like tech layoffs. &#8220;With my agency, I&#8217;ve been able to help those assistants and get them temporary work, some of which has turned into permanent placements,&#8221; says Emilie. This approach not only helps professionals navigate industry layoffs but also strengthens her talent pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, she&#8217;s launching a business coaching venture\u2014another way to give back while growing her impact. Her coaching will focus on helping established business owners &#8220;spend less time in the weeds and more time in the garden.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of both initiatives is the same philosophy that built her agency: helping people focus on what truly matters. &#8220;I really want to make that impact on other people too, to get back to what really matters in their lives,&#8221; she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as HoneyBook enabled Emilie to focus on client relationships and strategic growth rather than administrative tasks, she wants to provide that same freedom to other business owners\u2014creating a ripple effect of success that elevates the whole community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"98527\" class=\"elementor elementor-98527\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af8975c e-con-full cta_click e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"af8975c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d21be99 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d21be99\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbc2a58 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bbc2a58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"252\" height=\"252\" src=\"https:\/\/www.honeybook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/anytime-time-to-go-with-the-flow@5x-2.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-98545\" alt=\"workflow illustration 2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.honeybook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/anytime-time-to-go-with-the-flow@5x-2.png 252w, https:\/\/www.honeybook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/anytime-time-to-go-with-the-flow@5x-2-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 252px) 100vw, 252px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-364eaca elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"364eaca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a747e99 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a747e99\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d55b379 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d55b379\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">AI to power your workflow<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ad3ea0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5ad3ea0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boost bookings, save time, and simplify the way you work with HoneyBook AI.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-771d280 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"771d280\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.honeybook.com\/lp\/ai-start?utm_initiative=ai-awareness&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_source=banner&#038;utm_campaign=\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn more<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From solopreneur to 45-person team: How Emilie Given scaled her virtual assistant business by 15x to $1.2 million in revenue in 6 years For every person who starts their own business, there&#8217;s always &#8220;that moment.&#8221; You know the one.
