Podcasts about virtual assistance

Today I want to talk about what to focus on in your first 90 days as a VA - and what to ignore (for now!). And even if you are already in business, this episode will serve as a reference to you to ensure that you are focusing on the right things. When you're just starting out as a virtual assistant, everything can feel urgent. You might have a mile-long to-do list, a dozen tabs open in your browser all the time, and your mind might be spinning - trying to figure out where to begin. It's really easy to fall in the trap of doing all the things, all at once, but that's exactly what can slow you down. Let's walk through what your first 90 days should really look like. Because there are just a few things that matter in those early weeks, and a whole bunch that can absolutely wait. The biggest mistake new virtual assistants make in those first 90 days: focusing on the wrong things. In this episode we'll talk about what's important to get you started, get you moving, and what will help you start to get great clients.  I can help you set up your plan to get it done. It's the only reason I'm here at all, is to help you become a ridiculously good Virtual Assistant. Reach out to me on social media to chat. Make me one of your daily conversations this week!

One of the biggest mistakes I see VAs make is trying to do everything at once. Social media posts, cold emails, joining every networking group, tweaking their website… sound familiar? You're not alone - I do the same thing! While those are all great strategies in the long term, they can dilute your energy and results when you're looking for a VA client quickly. The key is choosing one strategy and going all in. Why? Because focus brings clarity, and clarity brings results. By narrowing your efforts, you can: Give your strategy the attention it deserves. Track your results effectively. Avoid feeling overwhelmed. So, what strategy should you choose? That's up to you and your strengths, but I'll guide you through an example here to help you decide and take action.   I hope this framework gives you the focus and confidence to find your next client. Remember, it's all about taking consistent, intentional action. You've got this! You CAN get a client in a week. When it's your main focus and you do the right things, it's easier than you think. If you want to get really focused and move your VA business forward in just a week, you should join me for my 5 Day challenge From Consults to Clients that starts next week!

I'm so glad you're here today because we're diving into a topic that's close to my heart and one I think we all struggle with from time to time: how to tackle those big, overwhelming tasks that make us feel like we'll never get ahead. You know the ones I mean—whether it's launching a new service in your VA business, planning a big client project, or even something personal like organizing your home office. Those giant tasks can feel so intimidating that sometimes we don't even know where to start. But here's the good news: breaking large tasks into smaller, manageable pieces is a game-changer. It's not just about making the work easier; it's about boosting your clarity, motivation, time management, and even your problem-solving skills. Today, we're going to explore exactly why this strategy works so well and how you can apply it in your business and life. I'll share practical tips, leave room for you to reflect on how this can fit into your world, and give you action steps to implement right away.   You have to take the first step to your success.

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.

So this isn't an episode where you will learn about mindset, or time management or marketing your VA business. Not really, anyway. In this episode I want to talk about your VA colleagues. A supportive network is vital in any industry, but I really think having a solid community around you is essential for Virtual Assistants. Over the years I have obviously connected with hundreds, maybe even thousands of VAs personally. I have met a lot of VAs - at all stages of their business. When I was a VA myself, we used to connect online in forums and attend live events that the associations ran, as often as we could. We really wanted to get to know one another. We needed to get to know one another. It's not that it has to be lonely to be a VA - but it often is. You are not meant to do everything on your own when you work for yourself - and by yourself. You still need community. And I don't mean surfing the local VA Facebook group for job opportunities. I mean really connecting with people. How many VAs do you actually know and talk with on a regular basis? That's what I'm talking about in today's episode.   You don't have to go far to find your people. We are right here! I am right here. I can help. 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 forward. I offer private coaching, and a variety of group and self study training and coaching options that help them get there. Take the first step to join The Virtual Circle today. Membership starts at just $49 per month and you will get the support, training, resources and community that you need for your VA business.

Every VA journey is unique. Yours is different than mine was, and mine was different that hers was. We try to learn everything we can, and yet still some things don't go the way we want them to, or the way we expected them to. There can be tough moments. Your job is to figure out a way to get our of them - and not repeat them again. Tough situations help us learn how to do things better. Let's talk today about a few things that might go wrong - and how to fix them and move forward. Failure will happen, things will go wrong, and it's how you bounce back from those failures that will help you grow in your VA business. Obviously we hope nothing ever goes wrong - but sometimes it does and we need to handle it. Learning to deal with things in a professional manner, without letting one walk all over you, is resilient. It's the much better way to be! What have you experienced that has made you feel like throwing in the towel, or running away to hide, or dumping a client, or even is just giving you stress of any kind? Fix it. And move on. That's the advice. Jane says you can do it, and I agree with her. You deserve everything you dream of. Let's circle back to today's quote by Sheryl Sandberg: Resilience is not about overcoming, but becoming. It is about finding yourself in the process. Staying in business long term means building that resilience. And it's not about overcoming things, really, it's about you finding yourself as a business person. Not just a VA, someone's helper. But a bona fide expert in helping others. That's you! Seek out support if you can't do it on your own. It will be money well spent. You can do this. I know you can. I can help. 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.

A lot of the marketing for your business will occur when you aren't even talking directly to someone - on social media or in other conversations. But you still can control what is said, when you leverage social proof. Social proof leverages the opinions and feedback of other people to talk about how great your product or service is. For your Virtual Assistant business, being able to share social proof can really help build the know, like and trust with those people that haven't worked with you before. What do I mean by social proof? Wikipedia: Social proof (or informational social influence) is a psychological and social phenomenon wherein people copy the actions of others in choosing how to behave in a given situation. The term was coined by Robert Cialdini in his 1984 book Influence: Science and Practice. Social proof comes in many forms. Some you might have thought of before, and some you may not have. But all of them are effective ways to get the word out about your services. We'll talk about how to collect, create and use social proof in your VA business so that clients will feel more comfortable making the decision to work with you!   I'd love to help you get there.

Connecting with the right people can lead to the best clients. Collaborations. Awesome learning opportunities. When it comes to your VA business, the people you know can help you grow in every area.

One of the things I help Virtual Assistants do is to change the way they approach their relationship and their role with their VA clients. In order to not be a task taker or a girl Friday, you need to step up. You need to change how you act and how you talk to them, so that they see you as the expert that you are. When you change how YOU see you, you can elevate your service offerings, charge higher rates, and more confidently support your clients. Today I want to share 4 really simple ways to change how you do things - I promise you it will make a huge difference! And if you want to become a part of my VA communities, let me know.

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.

This episode is the third 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. High-Value Clients – we are talking about this because it's your missing link. It's the thing you don't have right now, that you want. That you need. It's the whole basis for my 50K VA program that is launching soon. You are struggling right now because you are not in contact with the right people. It's really as simple as that. If you were networking or in a community with a whole bunch on entrepreneurs who had money, who were doing the stuff to grow their business, who were successful, but who didn't have any VAs, would you be able to help them? Yes you could! You can. And you will. Instead you are eking through on social media with people who are starting their business, who are feeling the challenge of doing their admin while serving their clients too – and not doing it well. So they hire you because they can't afford an in house admin, and then they nickel and dime and micromanage everything you do because they are struggling to afford your services anyway. Sound familiar? Well maybe it's not all that bad, but it goes down that path really quickly if you're not paying attention. If your clients are choosing your lowest package, or asking you what you charge to do this or that (okay then we'll just do this), then you are going to struggle to build the business YOU want. That will help you live the lifestyle that YOU want. And your business …. Quite frankly, it's about you. It's for you. If you just wanted a paycheque, you could go and get a job. You started your business because you want freedom, flexibility, and all that good stuff that goes with being a business owner. So it's time for you to find the clients that really need you – the ones that value you – high-value clients will help you build a high-value VA business. And that's what we are going to talk about on today's episode. If you are looking to build the kind of business I'm talking about - a 50K and beyond VA business, 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 monthly mastermind group, my group coaching program and my self study trainings.

This episode is the second 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. And today we talk about getting the skills you need to do it. What essential skills does a VA need to have to earn 50K a year or more? And why is it important to develop these essential skills? Because they make up the foundation of what your business is - why it is better than the VA's beside you. You become a better business owner, a better VA, and you will attract premium clients and manage your business effectively. When you develop competence, your confidence becomes so much more apparent. Talking with clients about how you can help them is easy. When you demonstrate professionalism, clients see it. High level clients seek out VAs who can handle all the balls they have in the air, without micro managing them. When you showcase your essential technical and soft skills, you position yourself as a capable and reliable VA who can deliver what they promise. Your essential skills are: technical skills and soft skills. You need to master both kinds to build your 50K VA business. Let's get to work building yours! In the 50K VA program. I will show you how to uplevel your professionalism, marketing, communication and so much more. If you are looking to build the kind of business I'm talking about - a 50K and beyond VA business, that's where I can help. I am here to help you become a ridiculously good VA.

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.

Today, we're diving into an essential mindset shift for every VA out there: realizing that you are your client's equal, not just their assistant. This episode is all about empowerment, confidence, and understanding your true value in the VA-client relationship. The Traditional VA Mindset For many virtual assistants, especially those just starting out, it's easy to fall into the mindset of being "just an assistant." This often stems from the traditional view of assistants as support staff, there to handle the mundane tasks while the client focuses on more "important" work. It's not the way it is when you become a VA. Virtual Assistant. I always like to think of it as the descriptor, so that people can identify who you are. Like consultant, or bookkeeper, or marketer. When you say you are an assistant, people understand that. They get a sense of what you do. Except now you are virtual so you don't work in the other person's office. You are someone who provides administrative support, from your own office. That's what Virtual Assistant means to me. But the mindset of being just someone's assistant can hold you back. Let's explore this on today's episode.   If you need help shifting your mindset from assistant to partner, 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.

Are you charging your clients by the package yet? It's a big topic with VAs - and there are arguments for and against doing it. I've never been a supporter of VAs moving away from charging by the hour, like a lot of other coaches. You can charge your clients any way you like. If you want to charge by the hour, no one can tell you it's wrong. However, when you reach out to me and say you aren't making enough money, it's going to be something we look at. Just like if you reach out to me to say you want to start charging by the package, we are going to look at that too. In this episode we'll talk about the good reasons to create packages for your VA services - AND the bad ones, or the things you should consider anyway. If you need help taking a step forward so your VA business is filled with amazing long-term clients, get in touch with me. I'm here to help. It's the only reason I'm here at all, as you know.

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.

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. If you need help breaking through that barrier to find the great clients that really need you and value you, 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. I'd love to do the same for you.

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.

Working virtually works. I do it all the time, and without that option, I clearly wouldn't get to work with all the awesome people I work with on the daily. Elizabeth Eiss calls it the Era of Virtual Assistance and getting help from anywhere is easier than ever. That leads me to wonder: How to use a virtual assistant? Elizabeth, founder and CEO of Results Resourcing - THE freelance platform that comes with your own recruiter, joins me on Episode 669 of "The Business Storytelling Show" to discuss: Why we are now in the era of virtual assistance When do people need virtual assistance How to use a virtual assistant specifically And more... Join us.

I talk a lot about good habits and the importance of routines in your time management and general VA business success. And they are important. I want to talk about the most important thing, though, and that is actually doing them. How many of you have created lovely routines or procedures, but then you never actually do them? You aren't alone if that sounds like you. It's the discipline of doing what you know you have to do, that will help you be successful. Like Jim Rohn says, it is the bridge between goals and accomplishments. Goals are great - you know where you want to go, you even might know the steps you need to get there. But if you never take any steps, your goals will stay just goals. The idea is to accomplish the goal. And you do that by taking action. Probably lots of actions. That takes discipline. And habits and routines. We'll talk about all three in this episode.   Let's work together privately to get you to your really big goal.

Starting your Virtual Assistant business comes with so many things that you don't know how to do. Maybe you aren't sure what to offer as your services. Maybe you aren't sure what to charge. Maybe you aren't sure where to find clients. But many of you are also aren't sure about how to do the actual work you need to do - and how to charge properly for it. I see Virtual Assistants every single day who post in the groups asking for advice … ‘a client needs me to do this (or that), how would you charge for something like that?' I cringe every time I read that, honestly. First off, if you don't know how to do something for a client, you shouldn't be doing it. At least not if you are just getting started as a VA. Don't get me wrong, you can learn on the job, sure, but the issue with this kind of post is the not knowing how much, or how to charge for it. That's the thing that makes me cringe. Why? Because you are operating a business - offering services. You need to know how much the services will cost the client in order to run your business professionally. If you don't know, you aren't ready to work with clients yet (for that task). Harsh, perhaps, but I have GOOD news too - of course! You CAN figure this out pretty easily. So you can work with the client. Listen in to figure out how.   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.

If you're like a lot of the artist-clients that I work with at Art Biz Success, you would love someone to help you with social media. Or your website. Or maybe anything else to help lighten the load. Having any kind of help sounds like a dream. It may seem like an impossible dream. You might be looking for someone like my guest for this episode of The Art Biz: Hallie Edlund, a virtual assistant for artists. We discuss how she started doing this work and how she helps artists with social media and their websites. We touch upon how she uses A.I. and her advice for using it in your art business. And you know I couldn't resist asking how she stays organized. Her system of keeping everything for her clients in Gmail folders left me with my mouth hanging open, which luckily you can't witness on a podcast. Hallie has a new Instagram course for artists and generously shares two tips for that platform near the end of our conversation. If you're looking to hire someone to help with your art business, I suggest checking out the related episodes and articles posted below as well.
