The excitement of starting your very own business and the beliefs of your success are high when you are first starting your business.  You think about what you want to sell, how you will sell it, the marketing and just how much your business is needed in the marketplace.  You might have started an online business, you could be a course creator, you may have decided to be a small business coach, life coach, virtual assistant, bookkeeper, podcast manager or other service based or product based business.  Whatever the business you started, you were pumped and had no reason to doubt that your business will be anything but a big success.  But then something doesn't go the way you originally planned, and you begin to doubt if your business will be successful.  You wonder if you made a big mistake, or you may have self-doubt kicking in and you wonder if you are even the right person to have started this business in the first place.  We've all been there, but how do you keep up your positivity and belief that your business will be successful when you start having these doubts?  In today's episode, I am talking about what can happen when you have these doubts and what you can do to continue to not only believe in the success of your business but believe in yourself as well.  I want to make sure that you continue to hold on to that excitement you once had for your business and what you can do each and every day to make sure you don't lose that insight.  Listen in to today's episode, especially if you are getting ready to start your small business, you're a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, virtual online bookkeeper or virtual assistant, and make sure you are following these important steps to ensure the continued success of your small business… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Stefanie Kreil, einer Senior VA mit 15 Jahren Marketingerfahrung. Mit 41 Jahren wagte sie den Sprung in die Selbstständigkeit und bringt ihre Expertise als Marketingberaterin und Texterin mit. Wir führen ein ehrliches Gespräch darüber, was es bedeutet, als ältere VA zu starten, warum Generalismus stärker macht als Spezialisierung – und wie ein Beruf altert, der noch keine älteren Vorbildgenerationen kennt.

We all have times in our lives where we feel discomfort.  When discomfort comes up for you, how do you handle it?  Are you afraid of feeling discomfort?  Are you able to move through your feelings of discomfort?  Are you willing to do the uncomfortable things in your life that cause you to feel discomfort?  Most of the clients I work with don't like the feeling of discomfort, and they find all kinds of different ways to avoid these feelings, but what I have found with so many of my clients is that the more they can choose to be uncomfortable, the more they are able to achieve the things they truly want in their lives.  Ready to find out how you can let feeling a little discomfort get you more in your life?  Let's dive in…   Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

Thinking about building a VA agency or scaling because you have more clients than you can handle? Before you do, hear this. I replaced my 9 to 5 income in five months, had too many clients, and did the one thing Google told me to do, which was build an agency. It turned out to be the biggest mistake of my business, and the reason is that it worked. Why can success actually take you further from the business you want? How do you tell the difference between momentum and real direction? And what is the one question I skipped that would have saved me years? If you are a VA, OBM, or done-for-you service provider growing on autopilot, this one is for you. In this episode:✨ Why success in the moment and aligned success are not the same✨ How building an agency took me further from what I wanted✨ The one question to ask before you scale or niche✨ Why your clients might be building your business for you✨ How to tell if you are growing on intention or just momentum 

In dieser Folge spreche ich über die Ängste und Unsicherheiten, die dich davon abhalten, als virtuelle Assistenz durchzustarten. Nach meinem Live-Training „VA Speed Start" habe ich bemerkt, dass gerade viele Menschen von Zweifeln geplagt sind – ob es die Wirtschaftskrise ist, fehlende Erfahrung oder Druck aus dem Umfeld.Ich gebe dir einen einfachen Drei-Fragen-Filter an die Hand, mit dem du deine Ängste überprüfen und neu bewerten kannst. Denn nicht jede Sorge ist berechtigt – manche sind einfach nur laut, weil die Angst dahinter laut ist.

Do you feel like your business has too many offers and not enough focus? If you are a VA, OBM, or Done-For-You service provider who keeps adding services to attract more clients, this episode might change how you think about growth. Last week I paused a group program I had already built, and instead of spiraling, it felt easy. Why does adding more offers actually push clients away? When is letting something go a strategic win instead of a failure? And how do you take the emotion out of a hard business decision? I am sharing the exact question I asked myself, and why editing your business, not adding to it, is what creates real growth. In this episode:✨ Why adding more offers repels clients instead of attracting them✨ How to tell the difference between quitting and editing✨ The one question to ask before you keep or cut an offer✨ Why passive income falls flat without a solid foundation first✨ How to take the emotion out of a hard business decision 

In dieser Folge beleuchte ich, wie Energie einer der wichtigsten Kompasse in meiner Selbstständigkeit sein kann. Ich gehe der Frage nach: Was ist, wenn Energie kein Zufall ist, sondern ein zuverlässiger Richtungsweiser für bessere Entscheidungen im Business und Leben?Die Episode behandelt die drei Währungen meines Lebens – Zeit, Geld und Energie – und warum es entscheidend ist, die für mich wertvollste zu schützen. Ich erkläre dir, wie du lernst, die Signale deines Energielevels wahrzunehmen und diese als Frühwarnsystem für die richtigen geschäftlichen Entscheidungen zu nutzen.

Does your business not feel like you anymore? If you are a VA, OBM, or done-for-you service provider quietly building toward someone else's version of success, this episode is your permission slip to stop. Today I am getting vulnerable and sharing something I hid for a decade, and how it changed the way I think about building a business that actually fits your life. Why does the obvious next step so often lead to burnout? What happens when you build around who you used to be instead of who you are now? And how do you tell the difference between direction and pressure? I am sharing my story and the questions that helped me, and my clients, build a business that finally feels aligned. In this episode:✨ Why clinging to an old identity keeps your business stuck✨ How to tell the difference between direction and pressure✨ Why burnout is often an alignment problem, not a pricing problem✨ The question to ask before you scale or niche down✨ What it actually takes to build a business around your life

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Jacqueline Basler, die seit 2021 als Virtuelle Assistentin selbstständig ist und Unternehmer dabei unterstützt, mehr Struktur, Klarheit und Leichtigkeit in ihren Arbeitsalltag zu bringen.Jacqueline liebt funktionierende Prozesse, effiziente Abläufe und alles, was hinter den Kulissen dafür sorgt, dass ein Business rund läuft. Ob Backoffice, Technik, Podcast-Management oder Onlinekurse – sie unterstützt vor allem kreative und visionäre Unternehmer, die große Ideen haben, aber keine Lust mehr auf Technik-Chaos, Tool-Vergleiche und organisatorischen Wahnsinn.Bevor sie den Schritt in die Selbstständigkeit wagte, arbeitete sie als Geschäftsleitungsassistentin und lebte und arbeitete in Deutschland, Neuseeland, Singapur und der Schweiz. Diese Erfahrungen prägen bis heute ihre Arbeitsweise und ihren Blick auf Selbstständigkeit, Zusammenarbeit und persönliches Wachstum.In unserem Gespräch sprechen wir über ihren Weg in die virtuelle Assistenz, die Herausforderungen der Selbstständigkeit und darüber, warum Struktur nicht einengt, sondern Freiheit schafft. Außerdem geht es um die Rolle von Prozessen im Business, die Bedeutung von Vertrauen und darum, wie wichtig es ist, den eigenen Weg zu finden, statt sich ständig mit anderen zu vergleichen.Eine ehrliche und inspirierende Folge für alle, die ihr Business nachhaltiger, strukturierter und gleichzeitig entspannter gestalten möchten.

Does your income feel unpredictable even when your work stays the same? If you are a VA, OBM, or done-for-you service provider stuck in the good month, slow month cycle, the problem is usually not your rates, your visibility, or your number of leads. So why does one month feel amazing and the next leave you anxious about what is coming? Why do retainer clients still keep you checking Stripe first thing in the morning? And why is the real fix so different from getting more clients? This episode gets into why income feels so unpredictable for so many service providers, and the one shift that finally makes it feel stable.In this episode:✨ Why unpredictable income is a structure problem, not a visibility problem✨ What reactive income is and why it keeps you stuck✨ Why more clients will not break the good month, slow month cycle✨ The real reason retainer clients still leave you anxious✨ The one question to ask about your last five clients 

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Dr. Marc Lucas Weber über ein Thema, das viele virtuelle Assistent:innen beschäftigt: LinkedIn als Kundengewinnungskanal.Marc unterstützt Selbstständige, Dienstleister:innen und Unternehmen dabei, LinkedIn strategisch für Sichtbarkeit, Netzwerkaufbau und Leadgenerierung einzusetzen. Dabei wird schnell klar: Sichtbar zu sein ist nur der erste Schritt. Die eigentliche Frage lautet:

Do you understand why we often tend to fall off the wagon or stop working towards our goals when it gets hard?  Our natural instinct, or our brain's way of survival, is to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy.  It is called the motivational triad, and it's true for our physical, mental, and emotional needs, and it makes sense that we would want to make sure that we are not hurt, we enjoy ourselves, and we exert as little energy as possible to survive.  This is just how our brain thinks, so anything that feels like it's too hard to do or is too draining on us emotionally or physically causes our brain to want to avoid it.  This is why it can be hard to persevere, but you can persevere, even when it gets hard.  Let's dive in…   Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

Cash flow refers to the money moving in and out of your business.  When you have a positive cash flow, it simply means that you have enough money to manage the payments of any money that goes out of your business.  If you have more money coming into your business than going out, you will have obtained a positive cash flow.  Many business owners think the only way they can increase their cash flow is to increase their sales or increase their net income.  This statement is partially true.  You will increase your cash flow if you see additional sales, but what if you could increase your cash flow without adding any additional sales?  If you are experiencing a tight cash flow, or maybe even a negative cash flow, there are things you can do in your business right now to help give your cash flow a boost without increasing your sales.  I understand there may be times in your business when you really rely on having enough cash flow to get by, and I know this past year has been hard for a number of small business owners.  If you are using a computerized software solution such as QuickBooks, you can easily generate a cash flow statement to see exactly where your business stands.  Today, I am going to talk about one simple tip you can do to help increase your cash flow, whether you are just starting your small business, you're a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, virtual online bookkeeper, or virtual assistant.  Your cash flow will be a huge contributor to making sure your business will survive, so listen in and make sure you follow this one simple tip...    Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

In dieser Podcastfolge sprechen wir darüber, warum Kontinuität wichtiger ist als kurzfristige Motivation und weshalb dein Alltag darüber entscheidet, ob du dir langfristig ein erfolgreiches VA-Business aufbauen kannst. Wir sprechen über unrealistische Routinen, schlechte Tage, Selbstzweifel und darüber, wie du dir eine Routine erschaffst, die auch dann funktioniert, wenn du mal nicht zu 100% motiviert bist. Starte mit mir gemeinsam dein zeit- und ortsunabhängiges Business als Virtuelle Assistentin um endlich Reisen und Arbeiten verbinden zu können oder um mehr Zeit für dich und deine Familie zu haben. Hier geht's auf die unverbindliche Warteliste von "Uplift your Dream®": ↪ https://juliatheresakohl.de/warteliste-uplift-your-dream/ Hier kannst du dir deinen 0€ Fahrplan für einen erfolgreichen Start in die Virtuelle Assistenz herunterladen: ↪ https://www.juliatheresakohl.de/fahrplan Meine Website und alle Angebote: ↪ http://www.juliatheresakohl.de/

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Eva Teufel, Virtuelle Assistenz mit Schwerpunkt auf digitaler Buchhaltung und Lexoffice-Beratung.Eva hat einen Weg gewählt, den viele kennen: raus aus dem Angestelltenverhältnis, rein in die Selbstständigkeit – obwohl Unternehmertum in ihrem Umfeld lange überhaupt keine Rolle gespielt hat. Heute unterstützt sie Unternehmen dabei, ihre Buchhaltung zu digitalisieren und Prozesse einfacher und effizienter zu gestalten.In unserem Gespräch nimmt sie uns sehr ehrlich mit hinter die Kulissen ihrer Selbstständigkeit. Wir sprechen über Selbstzweifel, die Verantwortung als Unternehmerin und darüber, warum Wachstum oft ganz anders aussieht, als wir es erwarten.Ein großes Thema dieser Folge ist außerdem die Kraft des Schreibens. Eva erzählt, warum sie regelmäßig ihre Gedanken aufs Papier bringt, wie ihr ein Erfolgstagebuch hilft, kleine Fortschritte sichtbar zu machen und weshalb Schreiben dabei unterstützen kann, Gedankenschleifen zu durchbrechen und wieder mehr Klarheit zu gewinnen. Außerdem sprechen wir darüber, wie sich ihr Alltag durch die Selbstständigkeit verändert hat. Von zyklischem Arbeiten über mehr Energie im Alltag bis hin zur Freiheit, den eigenen Rhythmus endlich ernst zu nehmen. Besonders inspirierend ist Evas Blick auf die Selbstständigkeit: Statt sich von der Angst vor dem Scheitern bremsen zu lassen, hat sie sich gefragt, was im schlimmsten Fall passieren könnte – und erkannt, dass sie sich selbst vertrauen darf. Natürlich sprechen wir auch über die Bedeutung von Gemeinschaft, den Austausch mit anderen VAs und warum Unterstützung oft der entscheidende Faktor für persönliches und berufliches Wachstum sein kann. Diese Folge ist eine wunderbare Erinnerung daran, dass wir nicht alles wissen müssen, bevor wir losgehen – sondern dass Vertrauen, Geduld und die Bereitschaft zu lernen oft die wichtigsten Zutaten für Erfolg sind.

„Ich brauche erstmal mehr Reichweite.“ „Mit so wenig Followern nimmt mich doch niemand ernst.“ „Wie soll ich denn Kund:innen finden, wenn ich noch keine große Community habe?“ Genau darüber sprechen wir in dieser Folge. Denn einer der größten Denkfehler beim Start als Virtuelle Assistenz ist, zu glauben, dass du erst sichtbar „groß“ werden musst, bevor Kund:innen mit dir arbeiten wollen. Dabei suchen die meisten Kund:innen keine Influencerin ,sondern eine zuverlässige VA, die ihr Problem löst. In dieser Podcastfolge sprechen wir darüber, warum dir auch mit wenigen Followern Kund:innen vertrauen können, worauf es wirklich ankommt, wenn du dir ein erfolgreiches VA-Business aufbauen möchtest und warum Reichweite nicht automatisch Umsatz bedeutet.

In dieser Solo-Folge spreche ich über ein Thema, das uns wahrscheinlich alle immer wieder beschäftigt:

You made the leap; you took the jump, or you stepped off the cliff.  No matter how you say it, you are now invested as an entrepreneur and have your very own business.  These are exciting times for you.  You are finally able to make the impact you have waited so long to make.  It is your dream come true, but now that you are there, what can you do to make sure you continue to enjoy your new venture?  So many times, you will find a business owner who started their business and loved it, but soon found themselves frustrated with the path it was leading them down.  When you start your own business, you have many ideas and goals.  You have a vision of where you want your business to go.  You have goals for how your business will influence your personal life, but if you are not careful about how you run your business, you may quickly find your business is instead running you, and your life.  Today I am going to dive into a few of the best tips to surviving your first year as a business owner.  These tips are not only essential for a new business owner in their first year of business, but they are very important to follow through on each and every year of owning your business.  By following these tips, you will continue to remain in control of your business.  You will not only survive your first year, but you will thrive in years to come.  In today's episode, I am going to help you brace yourself and your small business for any curveballs that may be coming your way.  We know owning a business can consume a lot of your time and I'm going to walk you through some best practices for your relationships, both personal and business.  If you not only want to survive your first years in business as a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, virtual online bookkeeper, virtual assistant, or you are just starting to think about starting a small business, you don't want to miss this episode to make sure you are able to maintain a healthy and positive personal life in addition to enjoying all the success you will obtain from owning your small business… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Larissa Fessel – Brand- und Webdesignerin, Illustratorin und Gründerin von elara studio.Seit 2021 begleitet sie Selbstständige und kreative Frauen dabei, mit ihrem visuellen Auftritt nicht nur „schön auszusehen“, sondern klar zu zeigen, wofür sie stehen. Denn genau darum geht es beim Brand Design:

Das erwartet dich in dieser EpisodeWas macht eine Marke wirklich unvergesslich? Es ist nicht das perfekte Logo, nicht die lauteste Botschaft – sondern die Geschichte dahinter.In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Anne-Katrin Savelsberg, Expertin für Storytelling, Markeninszenierung und strategische Kommunikation. Anne hat bereits mit großen Marken wie BMW, Porsche und dem DFB zusammengearbeitet und weiß genau, wie man Menschen emotional erreicht und echte Verbindungen schafft.Und das Beste? All das lässt sich direkt auf uns als Personenmarken übertragen – egal ob wir gerade starten oder unser VA-Business schon skalieren wollen.Ich freue mich übrigens schon sehr, dass Anne auch in der VA Mastermind einen exklusiven Workshop zum Thema Brand Storytelling halten wird. Dazu mehr am Ende der Episode!✨ Highlights & Key TakeawaysStorytelling macht Marken menschlich. Es geht nicht um PS-Zahlen oder Features – es geht darum, wie sich etwas anfühlt und was es ermöglicht. Geschichten aktivieren viele Areale im Gehirn und bleiben dadurch viel besser im Gedächtnis haften.Du bist der Guide, dein Kunde ist der Held. In einer guten Brand Story stellst du nie dich selbst in den Mittelpunkt – sondern immer die Reise deines Kunden. Du bist derjenige, der die Erfahrung schon gemacht hat und begleitet.Deine persönliche Geschichte ist dein größter Vorteil. Als Personenmarke hast du etwas, was große Konzerne nicht einfach einkaufen können: echte Authentizität. Wie bist du dazu gekommen, VA zu werden? Das ist dein Rohdiamant.Zielgruppe "alle" ist die schlechteste Zielgruppe. Je besser du dein Gegenüber kennst – seine Herausforderungen, Wünsche, Ängste – desto gezielter kannst du deine Geschichte mit seiner Realität verbinden.Auch als Starterin hast du eine Geschichte. Du musst keine 10 Jahre Erfahrung haben. Was zählt, ist wer du als Mensch bist – ob du zuverlässig, kreativ oder besonders strukturiert bist, das ist dein Verkaufsschlager.Konsistenz schlägt Frequenz. Lieber zwei- bis dreimal pro Woche mit Inhalten, die auf deine Story einzahlen, als täglich Matcha-Latte-Posts ohne Mehrwert. Alles, was du zeigst, sollte auf eine Kernaussage einzahlen.Positives Marketing wirkt stärker. Anne und ich sind uns einig: Push-Marketing mit Angst und Druck ist nicht unser Ding. Emotionale Geschichten, die inspirieren und Mut machen – das ist nachhaltig und fühlt sich für alle Beteiligten besser an.Beim Netzwerken: die kleine Core Story. Anstatt "Ich bin VA für Social Media" – erzähl eine Mini-Geschichte über dich. Was macht dich besonders? Was hat dich dahin gebracht? So bleibst du im Gedächtnis.

Die virtuelle Assistenz hat sich in den letzten Jahren stark verändert: Von 15€ Aufträgen hin zu echten, skalierbaren Online-Businesses. Aber was bedeutet das für deinen Start als Virtuelle Assistenz heute? In dieser Podcastfolge erfährst du, wie sich die VA-Branche entwickelt hat, warum sie kein kurzfristiger Trend ist und worauf es wirklich ankommt, wenn du dir ein erfolgreiches VA-Business aufbauen willst. Wir sprechen darüber, wie sich Preise, Positionierung und Möglichkeiten verändert haben, welche typischen Fehler viele beim Start als Virtuelle Assistenz machen und warum Overthinking heute oft das größere Problem ist als fehlendes Wissen. Außerdem ordne ich für dich das Thema Künstliche Intelligenz ein: Wird KI die Virtuelle Assistenz ersetzen oder verändert sie nur die Rolle? Und was bedeutet das konkret für dich, wenn du online selbstständig werden möchtest? Diese Folge ist perfekt für dich, wenn du: - als Virtuelle Assistenz starten willst - dich online selbstständig machen möchtest - ortsunabhängig arbeiten willst - dir unsicher bist, ob der VA-Markt Zukunft hat Ganz viel Spaß und Freude an dieser neuen Podcastfolge! All my love, Deine Julia

We've all heard how important it is to have an emergency fund for our personal finances.  There may be a time when your car needs repairs, or you lose your job, or maybe you have an unexpected expense pop up.  When you have an emergency fund set up, you are able to dip into it when you have these emergencies in your personal life, but what about in your business?  Is it necessary for your business to have an emergency fund?  If you do need an emergency fund in your business, how much money do you need to set aside and where should these funds be saved?  These are all legitimate questions and today I am going to dive into some of the best practices for emergency funds in a small business.  If you already had an emergency fund set up and funded, but unfortunately this last year left you with close to an empty fund, I am going to talk about ways you can start replenishing that emergency fund again.  It doesn't matter if you are just thinking about starting a new business, or are already a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, virtual online bookkeeper, or virtual assistant, making sure you have the necessary emergency funds set aside could be what saves you from closing your business if you find yourself running into some difficult times.  Listen in as we talk about what an emergency fund should look like for your small business and how it could bring you peace of mind when done correctly…  Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

Diese Folge ist anders als sonst.Persönlicher. Nachdenklicher. Und vielleicht genau deshalb so wichtig.Ich nehme dich mit in einen Moment aus meinem Alltag, der mir nochmal ganz deutlich gezeigt hat, worauf es im Business – und im Leben – wirklich ankommt: den Ripple-Effekt.Vielleicht kennst du das:Du bist gestresst, genervt, in Gedanken gefangen – und alles, was du wahrnimmst, verstärkt genau dieses Gefühl.Genau das ist mir passiert.Ein ausgefallener Zug, Kälte, Stress – und plötzlich war ich komplett im Mangel.Bis sich etwas verändert hat.In dieser Folge spreche ich darüber, warum unsere innere Haltung der eigentliche Ursprung für alles ist, was im Außen passiert.Warum es nicht bei der Handlung beginnt – sondern viel früher.

How you think about money makes an impact on your small business success.  Many of these thoughts stem from beliefs you have had since you were a child.  Do you associate earning or having money as being greedy?  Do you remember hearing heated conversations as a child and it brings back memories of arguments and feelings of unhappiness, or was the subject of money private in your family and viewed as a hush hush topic, almost seen as a bad thing?  You may not think these beliefs stemming from your childhood would be impacting how you are currently running your small business, but today, I am going to go over the impact they could be having in your business that you may not even be aware of.  Even if you think you don't have any of these thoughts or negative money mindset issues, you might not even know they exist, until you listen to this podcast.  Today I am going to ask you a few questions to bring awareness to your money mindset.  Most of this mindset stems from your personal finances and flows into your business finances.  You may be surprised how your belief system is impacting your business.  Being aware of these beliefs and your thoughts around money mindset will help you make the decision about how you want them to continue to make an impact on your business.  I'm going to talk about ways you can ensure you are taking charge over your money and your mindset whether you are just thinking about starting a new business, or are already a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, virtual online bookkeeper, or virtual assistant.  Listen in as we dive deep into money mindset and how you can make sure you have the right mindset, make positive business decisions, and take charge of your money… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

Today we're talking about something that I see all the time with virtual assistants, especially once you're past that very beginning stage. You're working. You're showing up. You've maybe had some clients, or you even have clients right now. But your business feels scattered. A little all over the place. A little unclear. Like you're doing a lot, but not really building anything solid. You're feeling constantly busy, but at the end of the week, you're not totally sure what you actually moved forward. You might even look back and think, hmm what moved forward this week? And if that's you, I want you to understand something. It's not because you're doing something wrong. Well, not entirely. You are missing something very important though. And once you figure out what that thing is, everything starts to feel a lot simpler. If you listen to this episode and thinking, "Yes, this is exactly how my business feels right now," then this is exactly what we focus on inside Booked & Busy Bootcamp. This is not about adding more to your plate. It's about simplifying what's already there. We take all of those moving pieces and bring them together into something that actually makes sense for you. We help you get clear on your services, create a plan for getting clients, and actually start building momentum in your business marketing. So you're not just busy… you're growing. And you're doing it in a way that feels manageable and doable, not overwhelming. Booked and Busy Bootcamp is a 12 week program, so yes we are going to work together for a while. We don't overwhelm you with 10 things to do at once and then expect you to walk away and get it done. We will ramp up to make sure you are ready and get your moving. You'll have to make decisions. You'll have to move out of your comfort zone. You'll have to TALK to people (ahh!) Send me a DM if you are wondering if this program is right for you. It's coming up in a few weeks, and it's reasonably priced. It's a no brainer, guys. If you need clients, let me help you get on the path to get them.  Let's start using your time smarter, and actually getting you what you want from your VA business. Check out Booked & Busy Bootcamp and let me know if you are IN! Registration is open now! Thanks so much for tuning in this week. I'll see you next time!

Kennst du dieses Gefühl, wenn du eigentlich schon so viel geschafft hast – und trotzdem reicht es irgendwie nie?In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Juliana Bernhardt – Coach für gesunden Perfektionismus – über ein Thema, das so viele virtuelle Assistent:innen betrifft, aber oft unterschätzt wird: Perfektionismus.Juliana begleitet Frauen, die müde sind vom permanenten inneren Druck, von endlosen To-Do-Listen und einer inneren Kritikerin, die einfach nicht leise wird. Sie weiß aus eigener Erfahrung, wie sich das anfühlt – denn auch ihr Weg war geprägt von hohen Ansprüchen, Selbstzweifeln und dem ständigen Gefühl, nicht genug zu sein.Heute arbeitet sie genau mit diesen Themen:Von Perfektionistin zu Perfektionistin unterstützt sie ihre Klientinnen dabei, Muster zu erkennen, den eigenen Körper wieder wahrzunehmen und einen gesünderen Umgang mit Leistung und Erwartungen zu entwickeln.Und ein kleiner Funfact am Rande:

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Berenice – Virtuelle Assistenz, zweifache Mama und Gründerin von Mamaflimmern.Berenice unterstützt selbstständige Mütter im Bereich Social Media und Canva-Design dabei, sichtbar zu werden – ohne sich im Alltag zwischen Business, Familie und Mental Load zu verlieren. Als zweifache Mama kennt sie genau die Herausforderungen von One-Woman-Shows und hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, mehr Leichtigkeit in den Online-Auftritt zu bringen – passend zum echten Leben, nicht zu irgendeinem perfekten Instagram-Bild.Ein kleiner Funfact vorweg:

When you have a small business, it is easy to think you can handle all of the tasks that need to be completed and wear the many hats that come with owning a business.  This may be true or even possible when you are just starting your business, but as your business grows and each task starts to take more time, you will find you may not be able to handle everything yourself and may need help.  One of the first tasks small business owners look at hiring out is their bookkeeping.  It is often listed as the most frustrating aspect of owning a small business and it doesn't matter if you are doing your bookkeeping manually or using QuickBooks, Xero or Wave to help automate your bookkeeping.  You may have felt this way and wanted to hire a bookkeeper from the very beginning of starting your business if you didn't feel qualified or confident doing your bookkeeping, or maybe you really like keeping track of all the money coming in and going out of your business.  Either way, there are some pretty important signs you will notice in your small business which will help you make the decision of whether or not you need to hire a bookkeeper to help you master your small business finances.  Many small business owners think hiring a bookkeeper is expensive, but in reality, depending on how many transactions you have in your business, you may be able to have your bookkeeping done for as little as $100.00 per month.  Today I'm going to dive into a few of the signs you may need a bookkeeper and help you decide if and when you should start thinking about hiring a bookkeeper for your small business.  Your financials tell you a lot about your business and help guide you to make sound business decisions, but when you don't have accurate, reliable and timely information, you and your business could start to suffer.  Listen in and find out if you may have reached or are getting close to reaching these important signs that you should hire a bookkeeper for your business.  It doesn't matter if you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, or FreshBooks for your business finances; or if you are doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document, this episode will be helpful for you… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

Speaking is one of the most powerful ways to tell your story, share your expertise, and connect with potential clients in a way that written content just can't always do. When I say speaking, I don't just mean getting on a big stage in front of hundreds of people. I'm talking about all forms of speaking. Small workshops. Guest trainings. Podcast interviews. Networking events. Even showing up live in someone else's community. Especially showing up in someone else's community. It's one of the most powerful ways to position yourself as an expert, build trust quickly, and attract higher quality clients. And the best part is, you don't need a huge audience to make it work. So if you've been relying mostly on social media posts, or waiting for referrals, this episode might just open up a whole new lane for you. If you want support with this, whether it is choosing your topic, structuring your training, or building the confidence to actually put yourself out there, that is exactly the kind of work we do inside my programs. I help virtual assistants not just build a business, but show up in a way that attracts the right clients and opportunities. So if that is something you are ready for, come and work with me. Getting visibility is about getting as many eyes and ears on your business as possible. And speaking is a great way to do that. It's marketing - and I can definitely help you with that. Go to YourVAMentor.com/links to connect with me and let's chat about how I can help you get clients. If you have been looking for a way to stand out, to build confidence, and to attract better clients, speaking is something I highly recommend you start exploring.

In dieser Folge nehme ich dich mit in ein ganz besonderes Gespräch:Ich war zu Gast bei Daniel Schmalhaus im Rahmen der Sichtbarkeitsoffensive – und genau darum geht es auch in diesem Interview: echte Sichtbarkeit.Wir sprechen darüber, warum so viele Selbstständige – auch virtuelle Assistent:innen – richtig gut in dem sind, was sie tun……aber trotzdem nicht sichtbar werden.Und Spoiler:Es liegt selten an fehlenden Strategien.Viel häufiger fehlt etwas anderes:

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Bianca – Virtuelle Assistenz, dreifache Mama und absolute Powerfrau, die ihren ganz eigenen Weg in die Selbstständigkeit gegangen ist.Bianca kommt ursprünglich aus der Hotellerie, hat in gehobenen Hotels und sogar in der Sternegastronomie gearbeitet und sich irgendwann eine ganz entscheidende Frage gestellt:Wie kann ich meine Leidenschaft für die Branche mit meinem Familienleben vereinbaren?Die Antwort darauf war ihr eigenes Konzept:

Homeoffice, Café, Coworking oder sogar Arbeiten auf Reisen – als Virtuelle Assistenz hast du unzählige Möglichkeiten.Doch genau hier liegt die Herausforderung:Viele nutzen diese Freiheit nicht bewusst, sondern eher zufällig.In dieser Folge nehme ich dich mit in ein Thema, das oft unterschätzt wird, aber einen riesigen Einfluss auf dein Business hat: dein Arbeitsort.Ich spreche darüber, warum es nicht den einen perfekten Arbeitsplatz gibt – sondern warum es vielmehr darum geht, den richtigen Ort für die richtige Aufgabe zu wählen.Dabei teile ich ganz ehrlich meine eigenen Erfahrungen aus den letzten Jahren:Vom klassischen Homeoffice über ein eigenes Büro bis hin zu Coworking-Spaces und Arbeiten auf Reisen.Du erfährst, warum Homeoffice zwar maximale Flexibilität bietet, aber ohne Struktur schnell zur Überforderung werden kann. Warum ein eigenes Büro nicht automatisch mehr Produktivität bedeutet – und wie Coworking dir Türen öffnen kann, die du alleine vielleicht nie entdeckt hättest.Außerdem sprechen wir über kreative Lösungen wie Arbeiten im Café, Co-Living, digitale Nomaden-Communities oder sogar dein eigenes Mini-Büro im Garten.Diese Folge soll dir vor allem eines zeigen:Es geht nicht darum, wo du arbeitest – sondern wie bewusst du deinen Arbeitsort für dich nutzt.

Du hast dein VA-Business gestartet, dein Angebot steht – und trotzdem bleibst du unsichtbar?Wenn dich Gedanken wie „Wer soll mich denn ernst nehmen ohne Referenzen?“ zurückhalten, dann ist diese Folge genau für dich.Denn die Wahrheit ist:

In today's episode I want to talk about something that I know so many of you are experiencing right now. You're putting in the effort. You've started your VA business, or maybe you've been at it for a little while, and you genuinely want this to work. You like the idea of having your own clients, making your own schedule, and building something that actually fits your life. But despite all of that, things just aren't growing the way you expected. Or the way you want. Maybe you're not getting consistent clients. Maybe the clients you are getting aren't paying what you'd hoped. Or maybe you feel like you're doing all the right things, but nothing is really clicking yet. And that's frustrating. It can also be really discouraging, especially when you start wondering if you're missing something that everyone else seems to understand. If you're anything like I was, you don't talk yo anyone about it. You just beat yourself up. You keep trying to find your own way. And that makes it even harder. So, I want to walk you through a few of the real reasons your VA business might not be growing right now. Not from a place of judgment, but from a place of clarity. Because when you understand what's actually going on, you can start to fix it in a way that feels doable and realistic. If you listen to this and recognize yourself in some of these areas, I want you to know that this is normal. It doesn't mean you're failing. It doesn't mean this isn't going to work for you. It simply means that you've likely reached a point where you need more clarity, more structure, and more intentional action. You don't need to do more. You need to do the right things, in the right way, consistently. And that's exactly why I created Booked & Busy Bootcamp. This is a 90-day program starting in April, where we focus on helping you clarify your services, start attracting better clients, and build real confidence through action. Not by overwhelming you, but by giving you a simple, structured approach that you can actually follow. So instead of spinning your wheels and wondering what to do next, you have a clear path forward and the support to keep going.  I'll be sharing more details about the program very soon, and I would love to have you in it. Working together for 12 weeks can help you get where you want to go, where you should be! I'd love to help you move those feet forward. It's the only reason I'm here at all, to help you become a ridiculously good virtual assistant! I appreciate you tuning in today. I'm Tracey D'Aviero, The Confidence Coach for VAs. I'll see you next time! Work with me: https://YourVAMentor.com/links

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Vivien – Virtuelle Assistenz mit klarem Fokus auf Handwerksbetriebe und einer beeindruckend mutigen Entscheidung: Statt jahrelang nebenberuflich aufzubauen, ist sie innerhalb kurzer Zeit in die Vollselbstständigkeit gegangen.Vivien bringt Erfahrung aus der Konzernwelt als Industriekauffrau und ihrem Studium im Bereich Wirtschaftspsychologie mit. Heute überträgt sie genau dieses strukturierte Prozessdenken in ihre Selbstständigkeit und unterstützt Handwerksbetriebe mit ihrem Konzept „Digitales Handwerkerbüro“ dabei, Büroabläufe, Buchhaltung, Tools und digitale Herausforderungen besser in den Griff zu bekommen.Wir sprechen sehr offen über die mentale Seite dieses Weges: Perfektionismus, Selbstzweifel, Aufschieben aus Angst vor Sichtbarkeit – und darüber, wie wichtig es ist, irgendwann eine klare Entscheidung zu treffen. Vivien teilt ehrlich, wie herausfordernd es war, ihre Zielgruppe wirklich festzulegen, warum Energiemanagement für sie wichtiger geworden ist als klassisches Zeitmanagement und wie sie lernt, Freiheit aktiv zu gestalten.Ein großes Thema dieser Folge ist auch ihr Wunsch nach Unabhängigkeit: Arbeiten und Reisen bewusst zu kombinieren, mit ihrem VW-Bulli unterwegs zu sein und gleichzeitig eine Branche zu stärken, die sie persönlich begeistert.Diese Episode ist eine Einladung an dich, dir selbst mehr zu vertrauen, Verantwortung für deine Entscheidungen zu übernehmen und deinen eigenen Weg in der VA-Selbstständigkeit klarer zu gestalten.

Viele denken beim Thema Marketing sofort an Lautstärke: täglich posten, ständig präsent sein, polarisieren, auffallen.Aber was, wenn sich genau das für dich nicht richtig anfühlt?In dieser Podcastfolge nehme ich dich mit in ein ganz besonderes Format aus unserer VA School Community. Dort haben wir im Rahmen eines VA Panel Talks über „leises Marketing“ gesprochen – also darüber, wie Sichtbarkeit auch funktionieren kann, wenn man nicht der lauteste Mensch im Raum ist.Gemeinsam mit Nicole Bantle, Teilnehmerin unserer VA Mastermind, sprechen wir ganz offen darüber, wie Marketing auch ruhig, authentisch und nachhaltig funktionieren kann.Nicole erzählt von ihrem eigenen Weg in die virtuelle Assistenz, ihren Erfahrungen mit Sichtbarkeit und davon, wie sie Schritt für Schritt ihren eigenen Marketingstil gefunden hat – ohne sich zu verbiegen oder sich in Strategien zu pressen, die nicht zu ihr passen.Wir sprechen darüber, warum Marketing nicht automatisch bedeutet, täglich online zu sein, warum echte Verbindungen oft viel stärker wirken als reine Reichweite – und warum kleine Schritte oft der nachhaltigste Weg in die Sichtbarkeit sind.Diese Folge ist besonders wertvoll für dich, wenn du dir mehr Leichtigkeit im Marketing wünschst und einen Weg suchst, der wirklich zu deiner Persönlichkeit passt.✨ Highlights der Folge• Warum Marketing nicht laut sein muss, um zu funktionieren• Wie du auch als introvertierte VA sichtbar werden kannst• Warum echte Begegnungen oft stärker wirken als Social-Media-Reichweite• Wieso kleine Schritte der Schlüssel zu mehr Sichtbarkeit sein können• Wie du deinen eigenen Marketingstil findest, statt Strategien zu kopieren• Warum Vertrauen wichtiger ist als perfekte Außenwirkung⏱️ Kapitelmarken(00:00:00) Intro & Einblick in den VA Panel Talk(00:02:00) Was bedeutet eigentlich „leises Marketing“?(00:05:00) Nicole stellt sich vor und erzählt von ihrem VA-Start(00:07:00) Der erste Aha-Moment beim Thema Sichtbarkeit(00:08:00) Warum nicht jeder täglich posten muss(00:09:00) Netzwerken im echten Leben vs. Social Media(00:11:00) Komfortzone verlassen – aber in kleinen Schritten(00:13:00) Auf die eigene Intuition im Marketing hören(00:15:00) Authentisch bleiben statt Marketingrolle spielen(00:17:00) Warum leise Menschen oft besonders stark wirken(00:18:00) Sichtbarkeit Schritt für Schritt aufbauen(00:20:00) Gedanken zur Zielgruppe und Verbindung(00:22:00) Abschluss & wichtigste Erkenntnisse

I've been getting quite a few messages from business owners saying that they are struggling to create a budget for their business.  Some are just getting their business up and running, and others have been in business for a few years.  Either way, having a budget for your business will allow you to dictate how you want your money coming in and out of your business to flow.  When you don't have a budget, it is easy to lose track of your numbers or your goals for the year.  I often hear business owners say it is hard to create a budget, or they don't know where to start.  In today's podcast episode, I am going to dive into how you can easily create a simple budget for your business and how you can get started.  It doesn't have to be hard, and it doesn't need to take a long time when you know what you need to do in the first place.  So, whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, or FreshBooks for your business finances, or if you are doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document, knowing how you can create a simple and easy budget for your business will help you stick to your goals and allow you to track exactly how close you are to your original budget numbers.  Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you're a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper or accountant, a virtual assistant or VA, or other professional; you want to take the time to really look at your numbers, create a budget and use your budget as a compass to help guide your finances throughout the year… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

The W9 form is an important form, and more than likely, you've either had a request for this form or, you yourself may be requesting them from your vendors.  This form is used to collect information about others, but knowing in advance that you need to request this information will not only save you valuable time, but it will also give you the information you need to file necessary and accurate documents for your business as well.  In today's podcast episode, I am covering what the W9 form is, who you need to request it from, and what you need to do with the information once you receive it.  Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you're a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper or accountant, a virtual assistant or VA, or other professional; you will need this information for your business, and having an understanding about why you need this form will make an impact on you and your business.  The W9 form is one of the first steps in the process for filing your 1099s, and making sure you have this information can save you from getting penalties for delinquent filing requirements… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

You know that thing you've been putting off, the one that's been sitting on your to-do list for way too long?  Yeah, that one.  Maybe it's updating your processes, finishing that client project, or even something personal like cleaning out the garage or finally scheduling that doctor's appointment. Whatever it is, let's be honest, if you're procrastinating, it's not because you don't know how to do it. It's because of how you feel about doing it.  Today, we're talking about how to stop procrastinating and start following through, even when you don't feel like it.  Because procrastination isn't a time issue. It's an emotional management issue.  Let's dive in… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

Do you ever notice how hard it feels to say no? Maybe it's when a colleague asks you to pick up extra work even though you're already drowning in deadlines. Or maybe it's when a friend invites you to something you don't want to do, but you say yes because you don't want to disappoint them.  Saying no often feels uncomfortable, almost like you're letting someone down or being selfish. But what if I told you that saying no could actually be easy? That saying no can be one of the most powerful tools you use to protect your time, your energy, and your mental health? And that saying no can even be done in a way that strengthens, not damages, your relationships?  Let's dive in… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

Today we're talking about something that I know so many of you are dealing with right now: how to start your virtual assistant business while you're still working a full-time job. This is a very common question I get from aspiring VAs. Maybe you're working 40 hours a week, maybe more. You've got responsibilities, a family, and let's face it, life is busy. How can you fit more in? But you also feel this pull toward building something of your own, something that gives you freedom and flexibility. And that's where your VA business comes in. So today we're going to walk through how you can get started, even if your schedule already feels packed. We'll look at the mindset shifts, the practical steps, and the strategies that will help you balance both worlds until you're ready to take the leap into working for yourself full-time.   And if you listen today and think, “Okay Tracey, I'm ready to do this, but I need a clear path to follow,” that's exactly why I created my Getting Started as a Virtual Assistant Self-Study Program. This is a step-by-step program that walks you through setting up your VA business the right way, without the overwhelm, and without wasting months trying to figure it out on your own. You'll learn how to choose your services, set your rates, get the right systems in place, and start finding clients. And the best part? You can work through it at your own pace, in the time you have available, even with your full-time job. It's only $97, and it will save you so much time, energy, and second-guessing. So if you're serious about getting your VA business off the ground, head to YourVAMentor.com/links and register today. That one small step could be the start of something completely life-changing.
