Being a Virtual Assistant is a great way to be your own boss and to be in charge of your own schedule – right? Sure, but there is a lot more to it.
When you start a VA business, you are not just offering services to clients in exchange for payment, you are becoming a business owner.
If you want to be in business for any length of time, you need to start thinking of yourself as a business owner right now.
I often ask VAs like you why they want to run their own VA business – and most of the time your reasons are very personal.
• You want to be more available for your family
• You want to set your own schedule
• You want to work from home
• You want to be in control of how much you earn
• You want to be able to pick and choose who you work with
• And so on
These are GREAT reasons to want to be your own boss.
But the really important thing to remember is that you need to run a GREAT business in order to be able to do any of these things.
If you are putting your family before your business when you start out, you may struggle to get things moving, or to get really good clients.
I totally understand putting family first – trust me! – I have been working from home since I was 7 months pregnant with my son, who is now 22. I have put him and my husband first for 22 years. But hear me out.
In order to be able to bring in enough revenue to support the new lifestyle you want, you have to get your business foundations in place, and you need to get a good, solid base of fabulous clients. And that takes planning and hard work.
Can you do it quickly? Of course you can! Have you ever heard the saying ‘What you focus on, grows”? It does.
With a great strategy and plan – and daily actions – you can build your business very quickly. One client turns into another and another.
And your VA business sustains the lifestyle you want, because that’s your WHY for doing it all.
But you must first put in the work to build that foundation, and start bringing in revenue!
Prioritize your business right now, and get clients quickly. Build your business to support the WHY that made you decide to be a VA in the first place, and you can be well on your way to living that in a very short period of time. Honest!
I’d love to help you. Join me for the Get VA Clients Program, starting in February. It’s a 28 day group coaching program that will help you get your foundations in place and get your first (or next!) great client.

It’s just $299. Getting one client will recoup that investment for you easily.
I’ll teach you a simple and repeatable process that you can start using in your business right away, that will help you connect with and sign the best clients.
You will learn how to get really clear on what you do and why it is so important for your clients to get your help with it.
You will start to connect with clients right away with much more specific messaging and language, so they know that you can help them – and they know why they should hire you.
This program is about making decisions and taking action, with my help of course! You will be supported the whole way – even if you find the action steps hard.
It’s time to get your business moving and shaking – and your client roster full!
Or you can keep trying to figure it out on your own.
How long have you been struggling already?
I promise you over the 4 weeks we work together you will get clear on what you do, and who you can help – and you’ll get in touch with them too. My goal for this program is to help you find (at least!) one client while the group is in session.
If you are interested, let me know. I’m here to help.
You need to be ready to be coached, be open to making decisions, and commit to taking the time to do the work. That’s all. I’ll guide you through the rest.
Let’s do this!
