Networking is always going to be the solution that I mention when it comes to finding clients.
But networking is also how you grow your business. Your contacts. Your audience.
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.
I used to travel to events to network with my clients and their colleagues. And yes it cost me money, but I made much more money from the clients that I picked up there than I ever spent.
Luckily we have much more opportunity locally and online now to network but it’s all networking.
How do you feel about networking?
Today I want to talk about how to start networking with new people.

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!

Today I want to talk about improving and expanding your skill set as a VA.
Quote: Education is not the filling of a pot, but the lighting of a fire. - W.B. Yeats
How awesome is that quote? I just love it. Education is the lighting of a fire - that is precisely how I want you to think about it!
So because I really love this quote that’s where I want to start today.
Education is not the filling of a pot, but the lighting of a fire.
When we first start our VA business, there is much to learn.
Most VAs I know love to learn, so that’s usually a good thing.
Until you get stuck in the learning and you don’t move forward.
But that’s another conversation!
Here we are talking about fire.
When you got your VA business started, you had a fire in you.
You felt passionate about what you were doing, why you were doing it, and you were voraciously reading and learning everything you could about it so you could make a go of it.
Then you started your business and either did well or struggled.
But in either case, you probably settled down into the day to day and stopped learning.
I know for me I got so busy with client work that I really didn’t do much for myself anymore.
Maybe it’s the same for you.
But when we learn something new, there is a light that goes on - I think it’s that fire - and we see new possibilities, and new pathways to where we want to go.
You didn’t start your VA business to give yourself a job, you started it to help people. To help yourself and your family.
So I want to talk today about how to light that fire - that spark - and get you moving again.
PRIVATE COACHING: 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.
GROUP COACHING MASTERMIND: The Virtual Circle is a group coaching mastermind option that costs less than private coaching, and can help you achieve the goals you set for yourself. .

Today I want to talk about how to confidently close high ticket VA clients.
The title of this episode really says everything most of you talk to me about in your VA business.
Confidence - you might not have this, either you feel it or I can tell when we talk
Close - getting the client is often one of the biggest struggles you tell me you are experiencing. Sales feels icky. Closing a client feels icky.
High-Ticket - everyone wants clients who pay well, somehow it seems easier to book out your business when the clients pay you more
Clients - any size, we al want and need clients, or we have no businessSo imagine my delight at being able to talk to you about all of these things in one episode!
How do you do it? Tune in to this episode to learn how!

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.

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. 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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

And yet, many VAs use it incorrectly, and end up seeing little to no results, and/or spending way too much time trying to.

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.

Every VA starts their business by deciding which services to offer and then trying to find clients.
It’s not all the time that we consider the client, though.
We think, we have a service. You need this service. Hire me.
It might be more candy coated than that, but you get my drift.
We start to focus on getting clients, and we forget that we are a service business - in business to help the people that need us.
Maybe we know that in theory, but our tactics to get the clients too often forgets that.
And then guess what happens? We struggle to get clients.
So then what do we do?
We try harder.
We post everywhere and anywhere that we need clients. We run a special deal. We offer our services for free or a trial project.
And all that does is make us look desperate.
You probably don’t think you are, but you are. Everyone sees it, except maybe you.
So, what can we do to stop acting desperate?
