Show Up To Be A More Successful VA

Have you ever heard the saying 80% of success is just showing up? The quote is attributed to Woody Allen but many people have also said similar things over the years. And 80% is probably not an actual statistic, but more a feeling. But in my experience it’s absolutely accurate. If you don’t show up, you can’t do the work you have to do to get to where you want to go. And of course, doing the work is a big part of your success. What are you doing in your VA business that is considered showing up? Are you making connections every day with potential clients? Are you putting yourself out there so that people can see your expertise?… Read More »Show Up To Be A More Successful VA

A Better Way to Measure Your Success as a VA

When I ask you if your VA business is successful, how do you measure that? Some of the common ways people measure success are: how much revenue they are bringing in, how profitable they are, how many clients they have. And we always talk about growing. Growth. Building our business. It can kind of be daunting to always talk about growing. That’s why when I learned something new this week, I wanted to make sure to share it with you. Dan Sullivan and Ben Hardy are the authors of a great book called The Gap and the Gain. We recently read it in my business book club. The concept is super simple, but so amazing. It’s this: when we talk… Read More »A Better Way to Measure Your Success as a VA

How to Improve Your Self-Confidence As a VA

How would you rate your self-confidence as a Virtual Assistant? Are you near the top of the scale? Or are you closer to the bottom? If you’re near the bottom, don’t worry – it’s not just you (and it’s easier to fix than you think!) I read the most interesting fact recently. Most women won’t apply for a job unless they meet 100 per cent of the qualifications. Men will respond if they have only 60 per cent of the qualifications. Well it was a fact shared by Sheryl Sandberg, but I can tell you in my experience that it’s absolutely true. I see VAs all the time who will not put their hat in the ring for an RFP… Read More »How to Improve Your Self-Confidence As a VA

Stop Doing This Now To Become a Better Virtual Assistant

You teach people how to treat you (especially as a VA). This lesson was engrained in me by one of my business coaches, many years ago. When I got into business, I didn’t know how to be a business person. I am guessing it was the same for you. I knew how to be an assistant – doing whatever my ‘boss’ (client) needed done. I was very good, though. I could anticipate a lot of things. One of my managers called me ‘Radar’ like the character on the tv show M*A*S*H. I could get things done for him before he even knew he needed them. I was an excellent assistant. When you make the leap to becoming a Virtual Assistant,… Read More »Stop Doing This Now To Become a Better Virtual Assistant

Find Your Virtual Assistant Squad – Not Where You Think

Stop asking for advice in VA groups about every little thing for your VA business. Is that a harsh piece of advice? I’m sure it sounds harsh, and it’s kind of meant that way, but for good reason! Virtual Assistants are full of questions. We are a naturally inquisitive type of personality. As a business owner, that can be a good thing. In fact, I regularly encourage you to ask questions wherever possible! But more and more I see VAs asking for advice about the SIMPLEST things. I see VAs ask others if their rates are too high, because although they say they are confident with their rates, clients are telling them they charge too much. I see VAs ask… Read More »Find Your Virtual Assistant Squad – Not Where You Think
