In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm spilling the tea on how to attract and book high-value virtual assistant clients – the ones who truly value your expertise, don't haggle on rates, and become long-term partners! This is the pre-party to my upcoming 3-day program, 1% VA, and trust me, it's juicy!

I'm sharing a recent "aha!" moment from my VA agency where multiple powerhouse clients, back-to-back, described the exact same qualities they look for in a VA. It's not just about tasks; it's about speaking their language – the language of outcomes, ROI, and strategic growth.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

The critical difference between "task language" (what most VAs use) and "outcome language" (what high-value clients actually want to hear).

How to shift your mindset and own your expertise, even if you're new to the VA world.

My "executive terminology" swaps: simple word changes that instantly elevate your perceived value (e.g., "optimize" instead of "organize").

The power of positioning: how to present yourself as a strategic partner, not just an order-taker.

A 3-step messaging makeover framework to transform how you talk about your services and attract dream clients.

Why vision painting and tapping into your clients' emotions is more effective than just listing tasks.

A loving "love and shove" to upgrade your portfolio and services today.

If you're tired of attracting clients who undervalue your work or are ready to step into your power as a 1% VA who commands premium rates, this episode is your permission slip to go bigger. Let's dive into the secret language of high-value clients!

In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm SO thrilled to share a powerful session from VA Fest 2025 with the amazing Paige Brincks! Paige's story is one of pure grit, determination, and the unwavering belief that she could create a life where she could be home with her kids without sacrificing her income. And guess what? She made it happen in just FOUR MONTHS!

Paige Brincks was the corporate breadwinner, making good money but desperately missing out on precious moments with her young children. She knew she wanted something different, and when she found the virtual assistant world (through our mutual friend, Mel!), she dove in headfirst. It wasn't an overnight success, but Paige's commitment to showing up every single day, even before she saw the results, is what made her unstoppable.

Here’s what you’ll hear from Paige Brincks:

Her journey from a demanding corporate job to finding the VA industry.

The mindset shifts and daily habits that fueled her rapid success (hint: applying for 3 jobs every single day!).

How she navigated the disappointment of rejection and kept her "why" front and center.

The power of intentionality in applying for jobs and messaging potential clients.

How she transitioned from EA/Operations to becoming a fully booked OBM.

Her invaluable advice on how to answer interview questions when you don't have direct experience (it's all about resourcefulness!).

The incredible impact her VA business has had on her life as a mom – from rocking her daughter for naps to being present for school drop-offs.

Paige Brincks' story is a masterclass in conviction and resilience. If you're dreaming of leaving your 9-to-5, being more present with your family, and building a business that supports your ideal life, this episode will light a fire under you. Paige is proof that with unwavering commitment, you can make anything happen.

If you enjoyed this episode, I would love it so much if you left a rating and review! This helps us reach more women looking to become a virtual assistant, book out their business, and scale beyond their wildest dreams.

In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm tackling a question I hear all the time: Is the virtual assistant industry oversaturated? Maybe you've looked around and thought, "Wow, there are so many VAs! Are there enough jobs?" I had the same worry when I started, too!

But today, I'm bringing the receipts – the actual data and stats – to show you why the VA industry is FAR from saturated. In fact, it's a massive goldmine of opportunity, especially right now! As a mom who found the VA world and built a booked-out business, hitting 5K in my first full month, I know this path can create the freedom and yes-life you desire.

Here's what I'm diving into:

The jaw-dropping numbers: Millions of businesses needing help vs. the actual number of VAs worldwide.

Why the demand for virtual assistants is skyrocketing (think remote work shifts & economic factors).

The incredible cost savings (up to 78%!) businesses get when hiring VAs vs. full-time employees.

Why specialization is your secret weapon to earning premium rates and standing out.

Inspiring stories from VAs like Nicole (10K/month in retainers in her first week!) and Jill (booked 2 clients in 48 hours!).

My actionable tips to position yourself powerfully: focusing on outcomes, creating a unique brand voice, and leveraging your existing experience (you're already an expert!).

Four simple steps to take today to claim your stake in this thriving industry.

If you've ever doubted whether there's space for you in the virtual assistant world, this episode will blow your mind and get you fired up! The opportunity is HUGE, and I want to help you grab it. Let's go!

In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, things get extra fun because I'm chatting with my amazing friend, Chandler Lee! You might know her from her own incredible online space, but our story goes way back to a chance meeting by the pool in Mexico in 2019 – before either of us had the businesses we have today!

This conversation is JUICY. We spill the tea on our journeys from direct sales and corporate careers to building our own successful online businesses (hello, $100k cash months!). We talk about the mindset shifts, the "delusional conviction," and the power of just going all in on your dreams, even when others doubt you.

Here’s what you’ll hear me and Chandler dive into:

Our hilarious "how we met" story in Mexico!

My journey from $70 months to $100k cash months in just 13 months (and how the VA industry was the catalyst!).

Chandler's path from Beachbody and network marketing to becoming a sought-after content and business coach.

The real talk about navigating spousal support (or lack thereof) when chasing big goals.

Why "unhinged" might be the new "authority" when it comes to content that connects.

Actionable tips for creating content easily (my voice messaging hack!).

The importance of documenting your journey and embracing "Eras Content."

Why investing in yourself (mentorship and self-trust) is crucial, but needs discernment.

A sneak peek into what's next for both of us – including my book and first live event, and Chandler's mastermind!

Whether you're building a virtual assistant business, coaching practice, or any online venture, this episode is packed with inspiration, real-world advice, and a reminder to own your unique magic and go after your biggest, boldest dreams. Let's dive in!

In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm so excited to chat with my amazing friend and fellow mastermind peer, Shannon Salge! Shannon is a women's health guru, and seriously, you guys are going to be blown away by her knowledge. We had the best conversation on a bus ride once where she was just dropping truth bombs about health myths, and I knew I had to bring her on the show.

As moms and entrepreneurs, it's so easy to put our own well-being on the back burner. But Shannon, a women's health guru specializing in metabolism, hormones, and gut health, is here to change that.

Shannon shares her powerful personal journey from being a professional dancer and high-achiever to battling a debilitating autoimmune condition. Her story is a testament to the importance of listening to your body and finding the root cause of health issues, rather than just masking symptoms.

Here's what you'll learn in this eye-opening conversation:

The common mistakes moms make that deplete their energy and sabotage their health (you might be surprised!).

Why "hustle" culture and pushing yourself too hard can actually backfire.

The truth about postpartum health and how to optimize your body for a smoother recovery.

Simple, actionable tips to boost your energy immediately (hint: it involves water, protein, and sunshine!).

The power of mineral balancing and blood sugar regulation for overall well-being.

Why self-care is more than just scrolling on social media (and what to do instead).

Introducing bioresonance testing: a cutting-edge approach to understanding and balancing your body's energy.

What it means when someone says "functional freeze".

Plus, Shannon shares exciting news about her upcoming podcast and the new direction of her company!

If you're ready to ditch the exhaustion, reclaim your energy, and feel your absolute best, this episode is a must-listen. Let's break down the myths and empower you to thrive in motherhood, business, and life!

In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm chatting with the incredible Nicole Sullivan, a stay-at-home mom who transformed her life (and her bank account!) by launching a thriving virtual assistant business! Nicole's story is a powerful testament to the fact that you can have it all – a fulfilling career, a flexible schedule, and a joyful family life.

After feeling lost and unfulfilled in her role as a stay-at-home mom, Nicole discovered the VA world and immediately knew it was the right fit. She leveraged her background in corporate marketing and sales, embraced the "fake it 'til you make it" mindset, and booked out her business fast!

Here's what you'll discover in this inspiring conversation:

How Nicole overcame her initial fears and doubts to launch her VA business.

The power of putting yourself out there before you feel 100% ready.

How she positioned herself as a VA and immediately attracted a flood of client inquiries.

Her experience with outsourcing and building a team to handle the overflow.

The unexpected ways her VA business transformed her life as a mom (hint: it's about more than just money!).

Nicole's top tips for other moms (or anyone!) who want to build a booked-out business.

How authenticity, vulnerability, and a "just do it" attitude can lead to massive success.

An amazing opportunity to receive a 30-minute optimization from Nicole!

Nicole's story is a powerful reminder that you don't have to choose between motherhood and a fulfilling career. Tune in for a dose of inspiration, practical advice, and the motivation you need to create your own booked-out life!
