About this listen

What if the fastest path to growth is letting go of the work you’re best at? That’s the challenge Mel Carr brings as she shares how an executive virtual assistant team, a simple publishing framework, and a service‑first mindset can flip a business from overwhelm to momentum.

We unpack how Mel built Clovercy as a US‑based executive VA agency that does more than check boxes. Her team steps into operations, digital marketing, and project management while helping founders protect their voice and standards. Mel explains why clear goals, SOPs, and honest communication turn delegation into leverage, and how AI, used thoughtfully, speeds delivery without sacrificing quality. Expect frank stories about clients who regained hours by handing off CRM migrations, content production, and admin; and how those hours reappeared as revenue, relationships, and rest.

The conversation turns to authorship and the Six-Figure Chicks movement. Mel breaks down why a single chapter can transform visibility, credibility, and confidence, especially for women who feel their story isn’t big enough to matter. We cover anthology structure, practical prompts for overcoming imposter syndrome and perfectionism, and the ripple effects: search discoverability, speaking invites, and deeper client trust. Mel also shares how her nonprofit, Her Right To Rise, connects published authors with young women through mentorship and community events, turning personal wins into a collective legacy.

If you’re ready to trade busywork for needle‑moving work, this is your playbook. Learn how to find the right VA fit, pair human expertise with AI, and package you
