Now that the tax deadline is behind us, unless you filed an extension, it's time for you to make sure that your books match your tax return.  Most of my listeners on this podcast do their own bookkeeping for their business, and this is one of the steps that business owners are normally a little hesitant or unsure about how to handle.  By being proactive and learning the right way to take care of this situation, you'll be able to rely on your financial statements and utilize them in future planning for your business.  In today's podcast episode, I'm digging into how you should be recording any adjusting journal entries that should be made in your bookkeeping software so that your books match your tax return.  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 a virtual assistant or VA; taking the initiative to ensure your books match your tax return is another way to Master Your Small Business Finances.  These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, or HoneyBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document… Schedule your Complimentary Stress Audit And Clarity Session, where we'll work together to create a clear and focused plan and overcome the obstacles that stand in your way so that you can move forward and immediately start enjoying your life with less stress, increased productivity, and more time to spend doing what you love with the people you care about: https://www.financialadventure.com/work-with-me Accountants, CPAs, Bookkeepers, Tax Preparers & Financial Professionals, sign up here to get updates on upcoming opportunities & grab the Audit Of Your Well-Being & Balance Guide here: https://www.financialadventure.com/accountant Ready to set up your business?  I have a program to help you get your business set up so that you can start making money.  Sign up for this program here: https://www.financialadventure.com/start Are you ready to try coaching?  Schedule an Introductory Coaching Session today.  You'll have the opportunity to see how you like coaching with an Introductory Coaching Session: https://www.financialadventure.com/intro Join us in the Mastering Your Small Business Finances PROFIT LAB if you are ready to take control of your business finances and create the profitable business you are striving for.  Are you ready to generate revenues and increase the profit in your business: https://www.financialadventure.com/profit If You Are Ready To Choose, Start Or Grow Your Side Hustle, Get Your Free Checklist And Assessment Here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sidehustle Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: https://www.financialadventure.com/5essentials Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path Is Waiting For You: https://www.financialadventure.com/starterguide Join Our Facebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/womenbusinessownersultimatediybookkeepingboutique The Strategic Bookkeeping Academy, including Bookkeeping Basics, is open for registration!  You can learn more and sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sba Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/adp QuickBooks Online - Save 30% Your First 6 Months: https://www.financialadventure.com/quickbooks Sign up for a virtual coffee chat to see if starting a Bookkeeping Business is right for you: https://www.financialadventure.com/discovery Show Notes:  https://www.financialadventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit https://www.financialadventure.com for additional information and free resources.

In dieser Episode des Virtual Assistant Power Podcasts spreche ich offen über ein Thema, das viele Selbstständige kennen: Müdigkeit im Business.Ich spreche über meine persönlichen Erfahrungen mit einer kürzlichen Sinnkrise und spreche darüber:Was passiert, wenn sich das eigene Business plötzlich schwer anfühlt?Was tun, wenn die Freude am eigenen Tun nachlässt ?

Ich hab heute was richtig Schönes für dich: Ein Gespräch, das ich vor kurzem mit der lieben Carolin geführt habe und das jetzt auch hier bei mir im Podcast läuft. Es war ein super ehrlicher und offener Austausch über die Welt der virtuellen Assistenz und darüber, wie wir uns damit ein freies, selbstbestimmtes Arbeitsleben aufbauen können — gerade als Mamas oder während der Elternzeit.Wir sprechen darüber, wie mein Weg in die VA-Selbstständigkeit aussah, was virtuelle Assistenz überhaupt bedeutet und warum ich total davon überzeugt bin, dass da so viel Potenzial für dich drinsteckt. Natürlich haben wir auch darüber gesprochen, wie man an seine ersten Kund*innen kommt, welche Angebote gerade richtig gut laufen und worauf man lieber verzichten sollte, wenn man sich nicht gleich verzetteln will.Es gibt ein paar ehrliche Einblicke, ein paar Stolpersteine (weil die hat wirklich jede*r am Anfang) und ich verrate dir, welche Tools und Tricks mir heute dabei helfen, meinen Alltag als VA easy und effizient zu gestalten.Also — wenn du mit dem Gedanken spielst, selbst als VA loszulegen oder einfach ein bisschen Inspiration für deinen Business-Alltag brauchst: Hör unbedingt rein. Ich freu mich, wenn du dabei bist! Warum ist die virtuelle Assistenz ideal für Mütter?Viele Mütter, die nach der Elternzeit oft vor Herausforderungen im Jobmarkt stehen, finden in der Tätigkeit als VA eine Möglichkeit, Arbeit und Familienleben flexibel zu verbinden. VAs können ihre Arbeitszeiten und -orte selbst bestimmen und ihr Know-how aus früheren Berufserfahrungen effektiv einbringen. Diese Flexibilität und Autonomie hilft nicht nur Müttern, sondern allen, die auf der Suche nach einer harmonischen Work-Life-Balance sind.Ausbildung und Weiterbildung als VAEs ist nicht notwendig, alle Dienstleistungen bereits bei Beginn der VA-Tätigkeit zu kennen. Vieles kann man auf dem Weg erlernen. Kristin bietet hierzu Kurse an, in denen man sich über verschiedene VA-Services informieren und ausprobieren kann, um die richtige Nische für sich zu finden. Die Unterstützung durch Experten und der Zugang zu Weiterbildungen können dabei eine erhebliche Abkürzung darstellen.Die Entscheidung, VA zu werdenDie Tätigkeit als VA bietet nicht nur Freiheit, sondern erfordert auch Verantwortungsbewusstsein und den Wunsch, kontinuierlich zu lernen und zu wachsen. Für Mütter kann die Elternzeit eine ausgezeichnete Gelegenheit bieten, den Grundstein für ein VA-Business zu legen und damit ihren Lebensunterhalt auf zuverlässige und selbstbestimmte Weise zu sichern.

In dieser Episode nehme ich dich mit hinter die Kulissen meiner Kundengewinnung als Virtuelle Assistentin — und zwar auf eher ungewöhnlichen Wegen. Ob im Coworking Space, am Flughafen oder beim Tanzen: überall lauern Chancen, wenn man mit offenen Augen und ehrlichem Interesse auf Menschen zugeht. Ich erzähle dir von meinen persönlichen Erlebnissen und gebe dir Tipps, wie du solche Begegnungen für dein Business nutzen kannst — ganz ohne aufdringlich zu wirken.Du erfährst:• Wie ein Gespräch über Matcha-Tee im Coworking-Space zu einem wertvollen Kontakt für mich wurde.• Warum eine zufällige Begegnung in der Warteschlange am Flughafen mir später den Rücken gestärkt hat.• Wie alte Arbeitskontakte und Hobbys bei mir zu neuen Kunden geführt haben.Außerdem gibt's noch einen kleinen Bonus-Tipp zum Thema Kooperationen mit anderen Dienstleistern — und warum das oft unterschätzt wird.

First things first I want to say welcome to episode 150!! I'm so proud to have started this podcast back in July 2022, and I've come to you at least once a week since then. I've only missed a couple! So yay me and yay you too, I so appreciate you continuing to tune in every week. If you weren't here, I probably wouldn't be either! Today I want to talk about attending business events to grow your VA business. Getting out to business events is always going to be the number one way for you to get clients, become a better business owner, and even just enjoy your business more! Now, when you hear the word “event,” you might immediately picture an expensive conference at a hotel, or maybe you think about sitting in a virtual Zoom room with your camera off, feeling awkward. But here's the thing. Events come in all shapes and sizes. Whether they're virtual or in-person, free or paid, big or small, they can give you a real energy boost and a clear path to grow your business. So in this episode, we're going to walk through why attending events matters, how to choose the ones that are worth your time, and how to make the most of them once you're there. And if you're looking for more support in building a confident and profitable VA business, check out my programs and services on my website - the link in in the show notes but you can go to YourVAMentor.com/links for everything I do. Thanks for tuning in to this episode - be sure to share it with a VA colleague if you think they would find it valuable. That's all I've got for you this week. I'll see you next time!

In dieser Episode beantworte ich drei spannende Fragen aus der VA-Community – jede für sich ein kleiner Coaching-Impuls für deinen Business-Alltag:

In today's episode, we are jumping in to an unexpected source of business wisdom - The Pitt, the new medical drama on Max, or Crave here in Canada. It's one of our indulgences, and as I always tell you, look for business lessons in your everyday life - so that's where this is coming from. Are you watching The Pitt? It's the new medical show starring Noah Wyle who was Dr. John Carter on ER. It's super fast paced and exciting - well, maybe exciting is the wrong word to describe it, but it is interesting, shocking, sentimental and a whole lot more, all wrapped up in one. If you aren't watching it, you have watched medical dramas before, I'm sure. So you can liken these lessons to the show that you did watch - but if you aren't watching The Pitt, you should check it out- I highly recommend it! I know, you might be thinking, “What does a fast-paced emergency department have to do with running a virtual assistant business?” Well, surprisingly, quite a lot! Just like in the ER, as VAs, we need to be adaptable, focused, and always learning. Okay I do understand that it's not life and death, what we do, but there are still some very important lessons that we can draw on from the two industries. So today I'm going to break down 10 lessons from The Pitt that you can apply to your VA business right now. Let's get into it!   Which of these lessons resonates with you the most? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Send me a message or connect with me on social media. And if you're looking for more support in building a confident and profitable VA business, check out my programs and services on my website - the link in in the show notes but you can go to YourVAMentor.com/links for everything I do. Thanks for tuning in to this episode - be sure to share it with a VA colleague if you think they would find it valuable. That's all I've got for you this week - But really, go check out The Pitt. It's so good - and season one is nearly over! I'll see you next time!

Not all social media platforms are created equal, especially when it comes to marketing your VA services. Choosing the right platform isn't just about where you like to spend time—it's about where your ideal clients are spending their time. If you're putting all your effort into a platform where your audience isn't active, you're working harder than you need to. Before we get into specifics, consider these key questions: Who is your ideal client? Where do they hang out online? What type of content are you comfortable creating consistently? Your answers to these questions will help determine which platform makes the most sense for you. The best social media platform for your VA business isn't a one-size-fits-all answer—it's the one where your ideal clients are most active and where you can show up consistently. Focus on cultivating relationships, not on promoting your VA business. So, I challenge you this week to do a little research. Look at where your past or ideal clients are spending their time online, and decide which platform you want to focus on moving forward. When you focus on the relationships you are going to go much farther, much faster. It's about the people. You don't need hundreds of connections to get one client, or 10 clients. You need just enough. Think quality over quantity, every time when marketing your VA business. I'd love to hear your thoughts! Which platform has worked best for you? Connect with me on Threads or Instagram, or drop a comment in our Facebook VA community: The Virtual Assistant Lounge And if you're looking for more personalized guidance on growing your VA business, be sure to check out The VIrtual Circle. We are currently on winter hiatus but we pick up the group again in March and I'd love to have you join us. It's the only reason I do this, folks, is to help you become a ridiculously good virtual assistant. I'll see you next week!

The great danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.  I love this quote from Michelangelo.  It really puts into perspective how important it is to not only set goals but to make sure that you are setting goals that make you reach a little further than you'd normally reach so that you can achieve those goals and have an amazing experience all along the journey to get there.  When you set goals, you are creating a roadmap for a purpose-driven life, so when you set goals for your business, you are creating each and every milestone you need to take to make the vision for your business a reality.  In today's podcast episode, I'm taking you step by step through the process of how to create goals for your business, all the way through the best ways to track and review your goals.  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 a virtual assistant or VA, being passionate about what you do and having goals gives you something to shoot for in your business so that you not only have an ordinarily successful business, you are able to create an extraordinary business in which you know you are reaching beyond the normal levels that you can be proud of.

Today we are talking about social media, and I already feel tired just saying that. How about you?? I know how overwhelming social media can be - we put so much effort into and it and we don't see the results. Social media is a very important part of your online presence. We work virtually and so a lot of our clients need to build trust before they will work with us. You have to get really clear on what you are trying to use your social media for - often it's getting clients, but think about the overarching strategy that you are trying to put into place. Yes, you need visibility. You want to build your authority and showcase your expertise. You want to grow your audience, You want to get clients. Doing each of these things requires a slightly different strategy. That's what we are talking about it today's episode.   If you need help taking a step forward, that's where I can help. I am here to help you become a ridiculously good VA. I am hosting a full day content creation workshop for VAs on Dec 6 and we are going to help VAs just like you create their content strategy - and it doesn't mean posting 10x a day to Tiktok or making 5 Instagram reels. It is about doing what works for you and making it cohesive and more effective. 'That starts with knowing who your target market is - your ideal client - and what kind of content the find helpful or interesting or inspiring. Check out the workshop and join us if it's right for you: https://YourVAMentor.com/workshop If you aren't sure, DM me on Facebook, Instagram or Linked In to chat about it.   I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving through private coaching, my monthly mastermind group, my group coaching program and my self study trainings. If you are ready to get my help, let's connect on a Cut to the Chase call. You can book yours at YourVAMentor.com/chase Thanks for tuning in this week! I'll see you next time!

Like anywhere you are trying to go, you need to know the way to go. You can call it a roadmap, a plan, a pathway, whatever you want - but basically it means you need step by step knowledge of the way from here to there, clearly mapped out, before you start. When I tell you that you need to set your VA service rates, there is a process to do that the right way. You can't just pick a number out of thin air. When I tell you that you need a target market, it's because you need to know who you are talking to and where you need to go to find them and talk to them. When I tell you that you need to know how long everything takes you to do in your VA business, you need to actually do it and time it and set parameters about how you will do it again moving forward. Before I did any of these things in my business, I did the wrong things. I picked a number out of thin air. My business made no money for years. I marketed to everyone. I had all kinds of different clients and did whatever they asked, and I never knew how to get a new client when I needed one. I worked with open ended times for tasks. I wasted so much time doing things, and without processes I always had to try to remember to do something when I went to do it again a few months later. Managing your time is so important as a VA, but being able to follow proven ways of getting things done matters too. Not only do you work happier, you avoid burnout, you get more done, you make more money, and you deal with much less anxiety in your VA business when you have a roadmap. It's not about getting somewhere quickly. It's about having the right plan, with the right steps - and moving towards it every day. One step at a time will get you there faster than you even realize. I'd love to help you get there. It's time. I'm here to help. It's the only reason I'm here at all, is to help you become a ridiculously good VA. But it's you who has to take that first step. I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving through private coaching, my monthly mastermind group The Virtual Circle, my group coaching program 50K Bootcamp, and my self study trainings like my Getting Started program, my monthly email membership The Virtual Toolkit, and more.

This episode is the fourth in a series of four episodes that I want to share with you as a lead up to my 50K VA Group Coaching program that is launching in the next couple of weeks. Today I want to talk about creating systems to scale your VA business. Having strong systems in place helps to make sure that your business runs smoothly and that when you are ready to scale, you are able to. Effective systems are the backbone of business growth, and will help you stay in business a very long time! Being able to scale your VA business whenever you want means being able to bring in new clients whenever you want, make more money whenever you want, take time off when you want, or travel, or make a big purchase, you get the picture. Scaling is the way you grow, and it's much easier to get yourself set up for growth than you think. A report by Small Business Trends says that 66% of small businesses that do not adopt automation and advanced digital systems as part of their productivity, fail to do so because of ineffective systems and a lack of proper organization. Think about it - we offer our clients organization, time management, productivity, and efficiency - but many of us don't do it for ourselves... for our own VA businesses. You have to treat your business just like your clients' businesses. It's important, it needs structure and strategy. And it needs systems. When you are organized and efficient, you can handle new clients easily. you can invest in training or support when you need it. We weren't meant to do everything ourselves. Even thought we are solopreneurs as VAs, there are things that others are better at than we are. There are things that others should be doing, instead of us. Again, it's all the same stuff we tell our clients. Some things are out of our area of expertise - and yet we struggle through them. VAs tell me every day that they are learning to build their own website, learning how to do FB ads, learning how to use every CRM system out there in case a client needs them to know it. We need to be able to identify when it's important for us to learn or do something in our VA business, and when it's more efficient or just smarter to outsource it Today we are going to talk about the importance of systems in your VA business growth.     PRIVATE COACHING: Let's work together privately to get you to your really big goal.

Today I want to talk about mindset, but not just any mindset. Your 50K Mindset. This episode is the first in a series of four episodes that I want to share with you as a lead up to my 50K VA Group Coaching program that is launching next month. Hold on! What? :) Okay, so let's first define what I mean by mindset. Your mindset is what you think, what you believe, about yourself, the people around you, the things that are happening around you, and the circumstances you may find yourself in. It's about what you think of all of those things. Notice that I didn't say anything about it being a reality. Often your mindset is not real. It's your perception - your belief - and that's why we can shift it when necessary. You can always change how you think about something. Many of us don't, but when you are in a place where you are not being successful, it's definitely worth looking at it. It could just be you. Your thoughts. Your beliefs. About yourself, about others. I'm going to say if you are blaming others for anything that is happening to you, you could need a mindset shift. It's not as simple as flipping a switch though. Yes, Tracey, just be happy. Just be positive. And you will become weathy. No, it's not like that. But a positive mindset can help you go very, very far - very quickly - because you are looking for the positive in everything around you. In this episode we talk about how to make those shifts. Let's go! If you need help shifting your mindset to one of growth and possibility, that's where I can help. I am here to help you become a ridiculously good VA. I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving through private coaching, my group coaching program and my self study trainings.

I have been an entrepreneur for 6.5 years and Your Behind the Scenes BFF® has existed for 2.5 of those years. Over that time, I have learned and grown so much as a business owner (& as a person in general) and looking back, there are a few things I would have done differently -- along with several I wouldn't change at all.

We are all given the same amount of time each and every day, and what you do with it is ultimately your decision, but if you are wasting your time on something that isn't helping you reach your goals or the level of success you are looking for in your business, it's time to really take a look at where your time is being spent and make some changes.  In today's podcast episode, I will not only point out some of the biggest things that cause us to waste time in business but also how you can quickly fix these issues if you find that you are guilty of these in your business.  Identifying and being aware of any of these issues is the first step to overcoming the time you may be wasting.  Whether you are a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA, and you feel like time slips away from you each day, listen in and start making a change.  You might be surprised to find where you are wasting time in your business.  Most business owners feel that the tasks they are doing are necessary, but this episode will have you taking steps to make sure if the task is indeed necessary, you are performing at your highest potential.  These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, or FreshBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document… Learn about the Under Pressure:  Stress Management And Resilience Program here: https://www.financialadventure.com/stress Find out how you can work with me by either scheduling a free consultation or signing up for the BALANCE Life Coaching program, where you can get private one-on-one coaching every week.  Find out where you'd like to see yourself and your business in the future.  We'll create a laser-focused plan, including which action steps you need to take to get started on the path to success: https://www.financialadventure.com/work-with-me Accountants, CPAs, Bookkeepers, Tax Preparers & Financial Professionals, sign up here to get updates on upcoming opportunities & grab the Audit Of Your Well-Being & Balance Guide here: https://www.financialadventure.com/accountant Ready to set up your business?  I have a program to help you get your business set up so that you can start making money.  Sign up for this program here: https://www.financialadventure.com/start Are you ready to try coaching?  Schedule an Introductory Coaching Session today.  You'll have the opportunity to see how you like coaching with an Introductory Coaching Session: https://www.financialadventure.com/intro Join us in the Mastering Your Small Business Finances PROFIT LAB if you are ready to take control of your business finances and create the profitable business you are striving for.  Are you ready to generate revenues and increase the profit in your business: https://www.financialadventure.com/profit If You Are Ready To Choose, Start Or Grow Your Side Hustle, Get Your Free Checklist And Assessment Here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sidehustle Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: https://www.financialadventure.com/5essentials Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path Is Waiting For You: https://www.financialadventure.com/starterguide Join Our Facebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/womenbusinessownersultimatediybookkeepingboutique The Strategic Bookkeeping Academy, including Bookkeeping Basics, is open for registration!  You can learn more and sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sba Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/adp QuickBooks Online - Save 30% Your First 6 Months: https://www.financialadventure.com/quickbooks Sign up for a virtual coffee chat to see if starting a Bookkeeping Business is right for you: https://www.financialadventure.com/discovery Show Notes:  https://www.financialadventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit https://www.financialadventure.com for additional information and free resources.

When you are utilizing a computerized software system to do your bookkeeping, it will save you time if you are taking advantage of all the bells and whistles it has to offer, but how do you know that everything is getting classified in the proper accounts?  One of the tradeoffs you have when you are using functions such as bank feeds and automatic data entry is that you need to make sure you are reviewing all of your transactions for accuracy.  In today's podcast episode, I cover one of the most important reports you can review to ensure all the transactions you have going into your financial statements are categorized in the right accounts.  This is a simple report to generate, and it won't take you too much time to review, especially if you are able to work on your bookkeeping on a monthly basis so that you have accurate financial statements to review.  You know I always recommend you keep up with your bookkeeping and reconcile your accounts on at least a monthly basis.  When you do this, you are able to make smart business decisions in real-time for your business rather than having this information months after the tax year has ended, and you no longer have the ability to be proactive about your business decisions.  Whether you are a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA, having the knowledge of this easy-to-generate report and understanding how simple it is to spot errors will give you even more confidence that you are doing your bookkeeping accurately.  These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, or FreshBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document… Learn about the Under Pressure:  Stress Management And Resilience Program here: https://www.financialadventure.com/stress Find out how you can work with me by either scheduling a free consultation or signing up for the BALANCE Life Coaching program, where you can get private one-on-one coaching every week.  Find out where you'd like to see yourself and your business in the future.  We'll create a laser-focused plan, including which action steps you need to take to get started on the path to success: https://www.financialadventure.com/work-with-me Accountants, CPAs, Bookkeepers, Tax Preparers & Financial Professionals, sign up here to get updates on upcoming opportunities & grab the Audit Of Your Well-Being & Balance Guide here: https://www.financialadventure.com/accountant Ready to set up your business?  I have a program to help you get your business set up so that you can start making money.  Sign up for this program here: https://www.financialadventure.com/start Are you ready to try coaching?  Schedule an Introductory Coaching Session today.  You'll have the opportunity to see how you like coaching with an Introductory Coaching Session: https://www.financialadventure.com/intro Join us in the Mastering Your Small Business Finances PROFIT LAB if you are ready to take control of your business finances and create the profitable business you are striving for.  Are you ready to generate revenues and increase the profit in your business: https://www.financialadventure.com/profit If You Are Ready To Choose, Start Or Grow Your Side Hustle, Get Your Free Checklist And Assessment Here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sidehustle Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: https://www.financialadventure.com/5essentials Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path Is Waiting For You: https://www.financialadventure.com/starterguide Join Our Facebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/womenbusinessownersultimatediybookkeepingboutique The Strategic Bookkeeping Academy, including Bookkeeping Basics, is open for registration!  You can learn more and sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sba Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/adp QuickBooks Online - Save 30% Your First 6 Months: https://www.financialadventure.com/quickbooks Sign up for a virtual coffee chat to see if starting a Bookkeeping Business is right for you: https://www.financialadventure.com/discovery Show Notes:  https://www.financialadventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit https://www.financialadventure.com for additional information and free resources.

Growing your VA business is something that we talk a lot about but not all VAs do it well. It takes strategy and planning, and I think it also takes support. When we work alone all the time, it is really easy to let ourselves off the hook to do things that we know we are supposed to do. We might have the best intentions but then when it comes down to it, we can put something off when something else comes along. A lot of VAs I know actually put client work above their own business work - and while that does make sense - I mean the client is paying for your time - it's also really important to prioritize your own business so that you succeed. Growing your VA business is important to consider. Who doesn't want to make more money? Raising your rates is essential when you are in business, so that you can take trainings and systems to automate your business and even bring on team members if you want to. After I doubled my rates while working with my first business coach, i was able to bring on subcontractors to help me with client work because my rates actually supported paying them - they sure didn't before. Who doesn't want to grow their services into something that you have learned and love to do? My business changed so much over the years, and I was really happy to be able to take training to change what I was doing for clients as my knowledge and experience grew too. I started doing client care which lots of people think is a lower value VA task (it's not). I progressed to being an online event manager. I set up and ran all of my clients' online events like meetings, conferences, group coaching programs and more. So how can you make sure you are doing this … growing thing? Tune in to this episode to find out!   If you need help doing any of the things I mentioned today - finding new clients, revising your rates, finding your community, networking, marketing, speaking, mastering time management, get in touch with me to talk about joining The Virtual Circle. I'm here to help. It's the only reason I'm here at all, as you know. To help you become a ridiculously good VA. I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving. I'd love to do the same for you. We can work together privately, through group coaching, or private, self study, free and paid trainings. I have lots of ways I can help you. Just reach out so we can talk about what you need. Thanks again so much for tuning in this week! I'll see you next time!   Let's work together privately to get you to your really big goal. It's the fastest way to get results and we can start right away. Learn more about private coaching here.

A leader is someone who has a strong vision and leads a group of people or a team towards that common goal through inspiration and motivation.  Knowing what motivates you as a leader, as well as where your strengths and weaknesses are within your leadership skills so that you can continue to learn and improve these skills, will ultimately help you become the successful leader you aspire to be.  There are many skills that you should be aware of so that you can portray these leadership skills in not only your business but your personal life as well.  In today's podcast episode, I walk you through the leadership skills that the most successful leaders have mastered so that they can lead their business, team, and employees to reach their overall vision as well as each individual goal while maintaining happy and healthy relationships.  Whether you are a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA, you can always look for ways to keep learning, improving yourself and increasing your personal development by embracing these leadership skills.  These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, or FreshBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document… Learn about the Under Pressure:  Stress Management And Resilience Program here: https://www.financialadventure.com/stress Find out how you can work with me by either scheduling a free consultation or signing up for the BALANCE Life Coaching program, where you can get private one-on-one coaching every week.  Find out where you'd like to see yourself and your business in the future.  We'll create a laser-focused plan, including which action steps you need to take to get started on the path to success: https://www.financialadventure.com/work-with-me Accountants, CPAs, Bookkeepers, Tax Preparers & Financial Professionals, sign up here to get updates on upcoming opportunities & grab the Audit Of Your Well-Being & Balance Guide here: https://www.financialadventure.com/accountant Ready to set up your business?  I have a program to help you get your business set up so that you can start making money.  Sign up for this program here: https://www.financialadventure.com/start Are you ready to try coaching?  Schedule an Introductory Coaching Session today.  You'll have the opportunity to see how you like coaching with an Introductory Coaching Session: https://www.financialadventure.com/intro Join us in the Mastering Your Small Business Finances PROFIT LAB if you are ready to take control of your business finances and create the profitable business you are striving for.  Are you ready to generate revenues and increase the profit in your business: https://www.financialadventure.com/profit If You Are Ready To Choose, Start Or Grow Your Side Hustle, Get Your Free Checklist And Assessment Here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sidehustle Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: https://www.financialadventure.com/5essentials Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path Is Waiting For You: https://www.financialadventure.com/starterguide Join Our Facebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/womenbusinessownersultimatediybookkeepingboutique The Strategic Bookkeeping Academy, including Bookkeeping Basics, is open for registration!  You can learn more and sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sba Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/adp QuickBooks Online - Save 30% Your First 6 Months: https://www.financialadventure.com/quickbooks Sign up for a virtual coffee chat to see if starting a Bookkeeping Business is right for you: https://www.financialadventure.com/discovery Show Notes:  https://www.financialadventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit https://www.financialadventure.com for additional information and free resources.

Building an amazing Virtual Assistant business is not technically a difficult thing to do. You find a client, you do great work, they tell their friends about you, and you get more clients. Right? That's the dream - we don't have to market our business, we don't really have to network, we just keep getting referrals. This is what happened to me in my VA business. But it didn't happen ‘just because'. I made strategic decisions and moves to get my business to that point. I doubled my rates, found a business coach, joined a mastermind group, and became a part of a high-level community of business owners who needed my services. And you can too. Listen to how I did it in this episode.   It's time for you to create the business you love. Create the freedom that you are dying to have. I can help you do it. Let's look at your business together and make some changes that will really impact what you do, and what your VA business does for you. We can work together in my group coaching mastermind The Virtual Circle to get your plan in place. It takes some honest assessment, a plan, a commitment to do the work, and then you have to show up and take the advice. I blew the doors off my VA business when I joined a mastermind group and did the work to make changes in my business that were long overdue. And strategic. You can do it. It's time to evaluate your business, and make those changes. You know I can help you do it. I'm going to leave it here for you today but first let's circle back to today's quote: If the only reason your clients come to you is your price, you need to evaluate your business.

Getting advice about your Virtual Assistant business is such an important thing to do, and to plan for. Two heads are better than one they say and I agree - in most circumstances, I think. For whatever reason when we are a solopreneur, we think that means we have to do it all alone. But I'm here to tell you that all of the best business people have help. Why would you want to do it alone? Because you think you should be able to is definitely not the right answer. When we suffer, or make mistakes, there are solutions. There is always a solution to whatever has gone wrong. Usually we don't want anyone to know that we failed, or that we did something stupid, so we keep it to ourselves. We think no one will understand, that no one else could possible have done the same dumb thing that we did. But they have. And the biggest issue is that if you don't know how to fix the problem, then you will struggle even more on your own. If you keep everything to yourself, you probably not make it in business. Not only will it be much harder for you, but it will be lonely. Not to mention, what will you do when things actually go well?? Who do you have to celebrate with? You need peeps! Peeps who understand, and are there for you. No one expects you to do anything on your own. Let alone everything. There are people who can help you with your business stuff. People you can get advice from. Get support from. We'll talk about that in today's episode. Let's go!   Let's work together privately to get you to your really big goal.

Work life balance. Some people will tell you there is no such thing. That's kind of sad if they think that. Don't believe them. There absolutely is work life balance. It is, however, up to you to make it happen. Let's talk about what balance means to Virtual Assistants. Or more specifically, moms who are VAs. It's no secret that not all VAs struggle with balance. If you are young, or single, or married but have no kids, or retired, you may not worry much about balance. Moms almost always ask me for help finding balance. I think balance means being able to do what you want when you want. We don't need equal amounts of work and home, we need to be able to adjust when the balance is thrown off. How can we do that? Boundaries. In this episode, we'll talk about how to use boundaries to get the balance you need in your VA business and family.   If you need help figuring out how to bring balance into your VA business and home life, get in touch with me. I'm here to help. It's the only reason I'm here at all, as you know. To help you become a ridiculously good VA. I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving.
