Kathy Goughenour is a Business Coach and Trainer working exclusively with Virtual Assistants. 

When Kathy left her career in marketing at a Fortune 500 company, “virtual assistant” was a relatively unknown term. She started as a VA and moved into training Expert VAs and Virtual Experts to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses by outsourcing.

Kathy is now a global leader in the VA industry, mentoring Expert VAs to help them fast track their success.

She believes that assisting women to become successful and wealthy as Virtual Experts builds a community with more support, joy, and love. 

Kathy joins me today to discuss what inspires her about her work and why she decided to start her own business. She explains what VAs do and how the VA industry has evolved over the years. She explores the mindset change you need to go from an employee to an entrepreneur and why she chose to train other VAs. Kathy reveals how niching helped her business and why competing on price is not the right approach. She also shares tips for anyone thinking about outsourcing and what hiring a VA can do for your business.
