Booked Out with Bre

91. Trusting Your Gut to Build a VA Business: A Live Q&A on Husbands, Past Failures & Self-Doubt


Listen Later

In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm hosting an unhinged, live Q&A session and group hangout where we dive deep into the real, raw mindset shifts required to build a business you love. This isn't about the step-by-step tactics; it's about tapping into the one thing that will make or break your journey: your own self-trust.

I know the questions you're asking because I've been there myself. What if my husband isn't on board? What if I've invested in things before that didn't work out? Am I truly cut out for this? I'm sharing my own story of navigating these exact challenges—from my husband's initial skepticism about my business to investing thousands of dollars before I saw a real return.

Here’s what I cover in this heart-to-heart conversation:

  • How to tap into your intuition and make decisions from a place of deep knowing, not fear.

  • The two identities living inside you (the one that wants to stay safe vs. the one that knows anything is possible) and which one to listen to.

  • My #1 life hack for getting your partner's support instead of asking for permission.

  • How to reframe past "failures" as the very things that are preparing you for massive success.

  • My answer to the common concern: "Is the virtual assistant industry oversaturated?"

  • Why positioning yourself as a "category of one" is the key to making saturation irrelevant.

  • How even the lowest moments can be the catalyst that leads you to your biggest breakthroughs.

    If you're on the edge of your next big move but are wrestling with doubt, this episode is for you. It's a loving permission slip to trust yourself, choose your highest truth, and take the aligned next step toward the life and business you know you're meant for.
