We were lucky to catch up with Ashly Villamar recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Ashly, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.

I’ve always been interested in running my own business and loved organizing.

Using my love of organizing and my skills in technology, I googled my way through building businesses, learning all I can to help the entrepreneurs I was working with.

In early 2020, before COVID, I launched my business in systems organization with the intention of helping businesses work smarter, not harder.

Now, we are a business building and office support company offering management services with websites, social media and admin. We service individuals at every phase of their business, from the ground up!

Ashly, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Savvy Systems Co started to help entrepreneurs work smarter, not harder. The goal was to “life hack” the businesses we work with by automating what can be automated and outsource their pain points so they can focus on doing the things they were truly passionate about.

Many entrepreneurs have amazing ideas but do not have the time or patience to learn how to sustain an actual business. That’s where we come in – we come along side the business owner to help them reach their goals through consulting, strategy and execution.

I’m proud of the work I’ve personally done to get to this point in my life but it didn’t come easy. I’ve gone through seasons of fear, doubt, worthiness, insecurity and burnout so to come out the other side has been a tremendous accomplishment.

Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?

My sister, Rebecca is co-owner of Savvy Systems Co. She believed in me before I believed in me so it was natural for me to ask her to do this with me.

She was in between jobs and looking for a fun, creative outlet while learning the inner workings of building a business. She’s gotten an incredible job since then but continues to keep me focused and motivated.

How did you build your audience on social media?

There is a lot of great advice when it comes to social media but over the years, I’ve learned about the importance of fostering a community through engagement.

I like to think social media as a party I’m invited to. The moment you get through the door, you don’t make an announcement. You make your rounds and chat with people. Get some interest and when the timing is right, you share what you want to say. At some parties, you’re funny and at others, you’re insightful (educational). Some days, you are completely quiet. There’s no wrong way to do social media as it really depends on your personality.
