The Ridiculously Good Virtual Assistant Show

One of the things I help Virtual Assistants do is to change the way they approach their relationship and their role with their VA clients.

In order to not be a task taker or a girl Friday, you need to step up.

You need to change how you act and how you talk to them, so that they see you as the expert that you are.

When you change how YOU see you, you can elevate your service offerings, charge higher rates, and more confidently support your clients.

Today I want to share 4 really simple ways to change how you do things - I promise you it will make a huge difference!

And if you want to become a part of my VA communities, let me know. I'm here to help.

It's the only reason I'm here at all, is to help you become a ridiculously good VA.

I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving through private coaching, my monthly mastermind group, my group coaching program and my self study trainings. If you are ready to get my help, let's connect on a Cut to the Chase call. You can book yours at YourVAMentor.com/chase

Today I want to talk about improving and expanding your skill set as a VA.

Quote: Education is not the filling of a pot, but the lighting of a fire. - W.B. Yeats

How awesome is that quote? I just love it. Education is the lighting of a fire - that is precisely how I want you to think about it!

So because I really love this quote that's where I want to start today.

Education is not the filling of a pot, but the lighting of a fire.

When we first start our VA business, there is much to learn.

Most VAs I know love to learn, so that's usually a good thing.

Until you get stuck in the learning and you don't move forward.

But that's another conversation!

Here we are talking about fire.

When you got your VA business started, you had a fire in you.

You felt passionate about what you were doing, why you were doing it, and you were voraciously reading and learning everything you could about it so you could make a go of it.

Then you started your business and either did well or struggled.

But in either case, you probably settled down into the day to day and stopped learning.

I know for me I got so busy with client work that I really didn't do much for myself anymore.

Maybe it's the same for you.

But when we learn something new, there is a light that goes on - I think it's that fire - and we see new possibilities, and new pathways to where we want to go.

You didn't start your VA business to give yourself a job, you started it to help people. To help yourself and your family.

So I want to talk today about how to light that fire - that spark - and get you moving again.

PRIVATE COACHING: Let's work together privately to get you to your really big goal. It's the fastest way to get results and we can start right away. Learn more about private coaching here.

NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE PROGRAM FOR YOU?

Feel free to email me at [email protected] and I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have!

Today I want to talk about how to confidently close high ticket VA clients.

The title of this episode really says everything most of you talk to me about in your VA business.

Confidence - you might not have this, either you feel it or I can tell when we talk Close - getting the client is often one of the biggest struggles you tell me you are experiencing. Sales feels icky. Closing a client feels icky. High-Ticket - everyone wants clients who pay well, somehow it seems easier to book out your business when the clients pay you more Clients - any size, we al want and need clients, or we have no business

So imagine my delight at being able to talk to you about all of these things in one episode!

How do you do it? Tune in to this episode to learn how!

This episode is the fourth in a series of four episodes that I want to share with you as a lead up to my 50K VA Group Coaching program that is launching in the next couple of weeks.

Today I want to talk about creating systems to scale your VA business.

Having strong systems in place helps to make sure that your business runs smoothly and that when you are ready to scale, you are able to. Effective systems are the backbone of business growth, and will help you stay in business a very long time!

Being able to scale your VA business whenever you want means being able to bring in new clients whenever you want, make more money whenever you want, take time off when you want, or travel, or make a big purchase, you get the picture.

Scaling is the way you grow, and it's much easier to get yourself set up for growth than you think.

A report by Small Business Trends says that 66% of small businesses that do not adopt automation and advanced digital systems as part of their productivity, fail to do so because of ineffective systems and a lack of proper organization.

Think about it - we offer our clients organization, time management, productivity, and efficiency - but many of us don't do it for ourselves... for our own VA businesses.

You have to treat your business just like your clients' businesses. It's important, it needs structure and strategy. And it needs systems.

When you are organized and efficient, you can handle new clients easily. you can invest in training or support when you need it.

We weren't meant to do everything ourselves. Even thought we are solopreneurs as VAs, there are things that others are better at than we are. There are things that others should be doing, instead of us.

Again, it's all the same stuff we tell our clients. Some things are out of our area of expertise - and yet we struggle through them.

VAs tell me every day that they are learning to build their own website, learning how to do FB ads, learning how to use every CRM system out there in case a client needs them to know it.

We need to be able to identify when it's important for us to learn or do something in our VA business, and when it's more efficient or just smarter to outsource it

Today we are going to talk about the importance of systems in your VA business growth.

This episode is the third in a series of four episodes that I want to share with you as a lead up to my 50K VA Group Coaching program that is launching next month.

High-Value Clients – we are talking about this because it's your missing link.

It's the thing you don't have right now, that you want. That you need.

It's the whole basis for my 50K VA program that is launching soon.

You are struggling right now because you are not in contact with the right people.

It's really as simple as that.

If you were networking or in a community with a whole bunch on entrepreneurs who had money, who were doing the stuff to grow their business, who were successful, but who didn't have any VAs, would you be able to help them?

Yes you could! You can. And you will.

Instead you are eking through on social media with people who are starting their business, who are feeling the challenge of doing their admin while serving their clients too – and not doing it well.

So they hire you because they can't afford an in house admin, and then they nickel and dime and micromanage everything you do because they are struggling to afford your services anyway.

Sound familiar?

Well maybe it's not all that bad, but it goes down that path really quickly if you're not paying attention.

If your clients are choosing your lowest package, or asking you what you charge to do this or that (okay then we'll just do this), then you are going to struggle to build the business YOU want. That will help you live the lifestyle that YOU want.

And your business …. Quite frankly, it's about you. It's for you.

If you just wanted a paycheque, you could go and get a job.

You started your business because you want freedom, flexibility, and all that good stuff that goes with being a business owner.

So it's time for you to find the clients that really need you – the ones that value you – high-value clients will help you build a high-value VA business.

And that's what we are going to talk about on today's episode.

If you are looking to build the kind of business I'm talking about - a 50K and beyond VA business, that's where I can help. I am here to help you become a ridiculously good VA.

I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving through private coaching, my monthly mastermind group, my group coaching program and my self study trainings. If you are ready to get my help, let's connect on a Cut to the Chase call. You can book yours at YourVAMentor.com/chase

This episode is the second in a series of four episodes that I want to share with you as a lead up to my 50K VA Group Coaching program that is launching next month. And today we talk about getting the skills you need to do it.

What essential skills does a VA need to have to earn 50K a year or more? And why is it important to develop these essential skills?

Because they make up the foundation of what your business is - why it is better than the VA's beside you.

You become a better business owner, a better VA, and you will attract premium clients and manage your business effectively.

When you develop competence, your confidence becomes so much more apparent. Talking with clients about how you can help them is easy.

When you demonstrate professionalism, clients see it. High level clients seek out VAs who can handle all the balls they have in the air, without micro managing them.

When you showcase your essential technical and soft skills, you position yourself as a capable and reliable VA who can deliver what they promise.

Your essential skills are: technical skills and soft skills. You need to master both kinds to build your 50K VA business. Let's get to work building yours!

In the 50K VA program. I will show you how to uplevel your professionalism, marketing, communication and so much more.

If you are looking to build the kind of business I'm talking about - a 50K and beyond VA business, that's where I can help. I am here to help you become a ridiculously good VA.

Today I want to talk about mindset, but not just any mindset. Your 50K Mindset.

This episode is the first in a series of four episodes that I want to share with you as a lead up to my 50K VA Group Coaching program that is launching next month. Hold on! What? :)

Okay, so let's first define what I mean by mindset.

Your mindset is what you think, what you believe, about yourself, the people around you, the things that are happening around you, and the circumstances you may find yourself in.

It's about what you think of all of those things.

Notice that I didn't say anything about it being a reality.

Often your mindset is not real.

It's your perception - your belief - and that's why we can shift it when necessary.

You can always change how you think about something. Many of us don't, but when you are in a place where you are not being successful, it's definitely worth looking at it.

It could just be you. Your thoughts. Your beliefs.

About yourself, about others.

I'm going to say if you are blaming others for anything that is happening to you, you could need a mindset shift.

It's not as simple as flipping a switch though.

Yes, Tracey, just be happy. Just be positive. And you will become weathy.

No, it's not like that.

But a positive mindset can help you go very, very far - very quickly - because you are looking for the positive in everything around you.

In this episode we talk about how to make those shifts. Let's go!

If you need help shifting your mindset to one of growth and possibility, that's where I can help. I am here to help you become a ridiculously good VA.

Today, we're diving into an essential mindset shift for every VA out there: realizing that you are your client's equal, not just their assistant.

This episode is all about empowerment, confidence, and understanding your true value in the VA-client relationship.

The Traditional VA Mindset

For many virtual assistants, especially those just starting out, it's easy to fall into the mindset of being "just an assistant."

This often stems from the traditional view of assistants as support staff, there to handle the mundane tasks while the client focuses on more "important" work.

It's not the way it is when you become a VA. Virtual Assistant.

I always like to think of it as the descriptor, so that people can identify who you are. Like consultant, or bookkeeper, or marketer.

When you say you are an assistant, people understand that. They get a sense of what you do. Except now you are virtual so you don't work in the other person's office.

You are someone who provides administrative support, from your own office.

That's what Virtual Assistant means to me.

But the mindset of being just someone's assistant can hold you back.

Let's explore this on today's episode.

If you need help shifting your mindset from assistant to partner, that's where I can help. I am here to help you become a ridiculously good VA.
