Today’s guest supports visionary entrepreneurs looking to make the world better than they found it.
She’s a first-generation American and first-born daughter who has been solving problems her entire life. She’s a fixer and can fill many different roles in your business and creates a safe space for her clients to be seen and heard as they are.
She founded Pey Pey the VA, a virtual assistant company, which provides transition support and visibility strategies for those ready to break generational cycles, build wealth, and live the life they’ve always wanted (but didn’t know was an option).
She’s also been my virtual assistant since February 2020 and has had a front-row seat in the rollercoaster of my business over the last three years. I can’t imagine my business without her.
Please join me in welcoming Peya Robbins.

In this episode we discuss:
- her thoughts on leadership: “Leadership is creating through the chaos. The moment you step into your day, and something is going wrong, it’s what you create at that moment that determines the kind of leader you are.”
- “If you’re a first-born daughter, you’re in charge of people.” Peya’s experience growing up as a first-generation American and the responsibility of helping her mom raise her siblings.
- Her dreams of being an immigration lawyer as a kid being inspired by helping her family fill out documents as a young kid.
- Being the mastermind and the person that knows how to get things done and not wanting to be perceived by the world.
- Working so hard to get good grades to get into University because that was the life plan, and then realizing it was not for her.
- The alternate plan after deciding that University was not for her after two years of living at school.
- Creating an alternate plan and getting different retail jobs stumbling on business card design as a side hustle. That side hustle grew to become the full-time plan.
- The gig opened her eyes to see the world in a new way and the possibilities that were available to her.
- How finding out, she was pregnant changed her business operation to a free-for-all of learning new things and trying out new offers and a flurry of sales.
- Her motivation for helping others and why her love language (for giving love) is acts of service.
- Why she works with visionary entrepreneurs and why they hold such a special place in her heart.
- Her experience of being my virtual assistant and her take on the inner workings of my business, including how my third book came to be.
- How she practices networking, and why people shouldn’t live in secret.
- Her big dream for the next year!
