View Transcript

When the pandemic started in 2020, Taishma Council saw business opportunities to support others in the midst of chaos. Through a team of virtual assistants, she shares with Don and Ebony how the Virtual Goals Assistant Agency helps others grow and become successful.

Virtual Goals Assistant Agency excels at understanding the importance of consistency for a small business's brand and being a reliable and resourceful Goals Assistant. We're dedicated to encouraging our Goal Achievers to find the gaps/weaknesses in their business and we use our skills/talents to add value. My superpower is using my experience of managing 20+ small businesses/non-profits to set up all our Goal Achievers for success. I've now offer VIP days proving delegation strategies to businesses who already have a team but doesn't know how to fully utilize them, talk in their language, or tap into their creativity. 

Taishma Council, 26, is the owner and CEO of Virtual Goal Assistant Agency LLC, which aims to provide reliable remote administrative support for entrepreneurs, rescuing them from the "superhero syndrome". The Dream Team values consistency, effective communication, and being resourceful. They specialize in operations support by managing day-to-day administrative work, content creation, social media management, word processing, and more. At Virtual Goals Assistant Agency, business owners will be matched with a trained part-time remote assistant, or a part-time professional online business manager to accomplish their annual goals! Taishma and her family relocated to Wichita, KS in 2014 as her husband, Saemetruis Council, was a Senior Airmen in the United States Airforce. Prior to being a full-time entrepreneur, Taishma worked as an operations specialist in the mortgage industry while attending WSU and used her free time as a volunteer to non-profits assisting with organizing and project management. Taishma serves as a board member for Sedgwick County SMART Justice Board. She spends a lot of time working at The Hive, visiting local parks with her son, and she doesn't shy away from making new friends!
