Yay! You’re Here!

I’m Jess.

Stay at home mom turned six figure business owner

How cliche’ is it to say I’m a small-town girl with big dreams? For the longest time, I thought my dream was to make it to the big city with a corporate office, overlooking the view. Thankfully, life knew better. Sitting in my home office, next to my husband, building something of our own feels just right.

But it wasn’t easy and it definitely wasn’t overnight. From bookkeeper, medical coder, mystery shopper, attempted blogger, virtual assistant to now business owner…I’ve compiled quite the list of lessons, tools, tips, what works and what doesn’t. And I’m here to share it with you.

Because here’s the thing. I’m a cheerleader. Not the pom pom and short skirt kind but the kind standing behind her friends and family screaming you got this. The type that thinks gatekeeping is a sin and I know that if you have something good, sharing makes it better.

I want to help you…

Let’s do this together!

Develop the skills to build your own virtual assistant business and bring in paying clients.

Build a successful business that not only adds to your bank account but your life too!

Earn a real income online. Let’s talk about how your ideas and skills can become your dream job.

Finally, check off that one project that is holding you back in your business.

Make life easier with ready for you templates to send pretty emails, implement your social media strategy, plan for the future & more…

Find the support you need to take your business to the next level. Give someone else the daily tasks while you focus on what you love.

Here is why I know this works.

I started with an Instagram following of family and friends, I didn’t find clients or even market on social media. When I landed my first client, I was so excited! And by “landed” I mean said yes to a family member looking for a little bookkeeping help. That $250/month wasn’t changing my world or anything but it started something. I spent months searching and scrolling for all the ways women like me were making money online. Here is what wasn’t working for me: network marketing/MLM (Side note…I know plenty of people this IS working for), dancing on Instagram, taking surveys for a few dollars, or sacrificing my peace and time flexibility to work countless hours for someone else.

I did find a network of entrepreneurs building thriving businesses – business coaching, ice cream shops, life coaching, cyber security, art, fitness – so many options!! And they needed support. This is where my virtual assistant business was born. In 3 months, I had my first four figure month. In 6 months, my husband left his job as a pharmacist to work alongside me. In 12 months, I owned a six figure business.

Whether you are looking to make extra income as a virtual assistant, replace your 9-5 as a full time entrepreneur, or take your business to the next level, I’m telling you it is possible. So now what, right? Take a tour around here and see what fits best. And then let’s get started. Not sure what fits best? That’s okay, I’ve been there. Send me an email to team@joyfulwithpurpose.com or a quick Instagram DM and let’s chat about it.

A little more about me…


I married my high school sweetheart and we live in the house I grew up in – best decision to date.

The inspiration behind the business. We wanted more time with our 3 kids – “The days are long, but the years are short.” – Gretchen Rubin

I love to decorate and throw/give things away. Is there anything better than a freshly organized closet?

Just for fun!

A few more things about me…

I love all things to do lists, personal growth and pretty calendars.

I’d rather be at the beach. Always.

I hate having my picture taken. If someone is taking my picture, know I am dying inside.

If I’ve had a bad day there are 3 options: A large Coke with pebble ice, a long hot bath or calling my sister.

Chances are I have NOT watched “that show”. I love watching college football, professional tennis and shows that everyone watched at least 2 years ago. If it’s trending, I probably don’t know it.

I love summer weather and fall clothes! Go figure.
