The Ridiculously Good Virtual Assistant Show

Here we are the end of another year and it's time to reflect back on what we did well in our VA business, what didn't go so well, and what we want to do differently in the coming year.

It's not that we need a huge shakeup, but it is a good time of year to make some decisions.

i teach a process I call my Lookback Process, and what that does is helps you identify first of all what you did, second how it worked out for you, and finally, what you can do to equip yourself to achieve your future goals.

I do that by talking about a number of different areas: success, money, clients, networking and marketing.

You can watch my full training and pick up the handout here:

Lookback Handout

Pick up my handout in the show notes of this episode and you can do a monthly summary for each month of last year.

Fill it in to the best of your ability - especially the results you go.

Then do your analysis.

What is working for you. What can you change? What should you change?

How can you plan to change it?

Do your review so you can build a solid plan for the coming year.

You can do it!

Using this process helps you identify your areas of strength and weakness, so you know how to get better results in the future.

Lets circle back to today's quote: If the plan doesn't work, change the plan, not the goal.

‌You know what you want. Set your plan in place to get it and then work like hell to get there. Get help when you need it.

‌

If you need help getting your plan in place for your VA business, be sure to get in touch with me. I'm here to help.

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

I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving. I'd love to do the same for you.

We can work together privately, or in The Virtual Circle, my monthly mastermind group, or in my Plan to Profit group coaching program, or you can enroll in some of my self study trainings. I have lots of options to move your forward. Check them out in the show notes for this episode. Thanks for tuning in this week! I'll see you next time!

It seems like Chat GPT is everywhere these days.

People are talking about it online - and because we spend so much of our time in various places online, we see it. Everywhere.

What is it, and why should we be using it for our VA businesses?

Simply, Chat GPT is a chat software that allows us to do research that gets more intelligent, or more specific, the more information we provide for it.

Think about Google for a second - our usual go-to for our research. At least it always has been for me!

With Google, we have to use certain, short, parameters, and in return, we will get a list of websites that contain the information that we are looking for.

In the past, we would have seen only those websites, and the ones that showed up in the top of the search were the ones with the best SEO.

It's still like that, to a point. But now you will also see sponsored content at the top of the page, and video and image content as well. That is progress.

Also, instead of 'page one' consisting of 10 top results, it seems that the scroll never ends.

Google is still a great search engine to find what you are looking for - if you are looking for a source.

But Chat GPT is fast becoming a research tool that can give you great examples and even write content as well.

In today's episode I want to talk about how to create better marketing content, more easily, and by using ChatGPT you can do that.

If you need help creating or implementing your marketing plan for your VA business, be sure to get in touch with me. I'm here to help.

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

Several years ago I was invited to submit a chapter for a book collaboration. We were 20 business owners who were part of a group and we published a book called Thought Leaders: Visionaries and Influencers.

While at the time I didn't believe myself to be any of those things, I was looking to become that.

Someone that VAs like you, and business owners alike, would come to for advice, support, and guidance for their business.

I have done that, I feel, and I decided that I would love to share my chapter with you today on my podcast.

I hope you like it!

I'm very proud of it. And I am very proud of you too. I know that you are getting a lot of support through my podcast (you all tell me every day how much you love it) and I know that you can jump off that chair lift if you just stop getting into your own head.

If you need help jumping off your chair lift, be sure to get in touch with me. I'm here to help.

You know the type. That client that is always asking you to do something now, urgently, last minute, whatever.

What do you do?

How do you handle that?

If you are like most Virtual Assistants, you will probably go ahead and do it, even if you are grumbling under your breath the whole time.

It's hard, because we are literally in the business of helping our clients. We are service professionals. We do what they need us to do.

It's what we think we need to do.

Our clients need something, and it's our 'job' to do it.

Well, I'm here to tell you that's not the way it works at all.

Yes … they are paying you.

But they are not your employer.

You don't work for them. You work with them.

They are your client. You are a business owner.

There are a lot of reasons to remind yourself of this fact, but this is one of the biggest.

Your work schedule is yours. You get to determine. You are managing the work tasks and expectations of all of your clients.

And yet, we say yes.

But here's the most important part - we don't say yes because we are being nice.

We say yes because we think we have to.

And that's exactly what the issue is.

For some reason Virtual Assistants far and wide think that we have to do whatever our clients ask us to do.

Not all VAs, of course, but most of us have gone through this stage. Some of you stay in this stage.

It's very natural of course when you are starting your business to have this kind of mindset.

Maybe natural is not the right word, but it feels like the right word.

It's not wrong to have this attitude when you first start. We don't know how to do business when we start out.

If you have never run a business before, it's new.

We have to learn how to be. We have to learn how to act. We have to learn how to communicate.

I give new VAs this advice all the time: when you first start working with a client, don't respond to them immediately. Don't turn tasks around fast. Don't do same day work!

Did I do that? Yes, yes, I did.

But I expect you not to do it? yes, yes I do.

Why? I'm not a hypocrite - I'm trying to save you from making a big mistake that is very hard to break away from.

It's why a lot of us veterans, or teachers, or coaches teach you anything we teach you.

Because we want you to go down the right path - a different one that maybe we took.

When we give you advice about how to handle something in business, or what boundary to put in place, it's usually because we know from experience that you will need that boundary eventually, and we are suggesting that you think about it sooner than we did!

Anyhow let's get to it.

You will see from the three examples I've described in this episode, that boundaries is the key to avoiding burnout and unhappy clients.

Managing the expectations of your clients is going to be an ongoing task - and the better you get at it, the happier everyone will be.

Burnout is a reaction to being overworked.

That happens when we don't manage our days well.

Take control of what you do and when you do it, and you will be happier. You will be more productive.

And you will have happier clients too!

I'm going to leave it here for today. If time management and setting boundaries and policies is something that you need help with, be sure to get in touch with me. I'm here to help.

In this series we are talking about how to think about your services from the perspective of you clients.

It's easy enough to say that you provide email support, but how do your clients think about that?

How much importance do they place on that thing?

Why is it important for them to get help with a particular service?

And how do they actually use that service, or describe it?

When you really look at things like your clients do, your messaging will be so clear to them that they will know you understand their needs. And... they will want to work with you!

So let's talk about startups and the services VAs can provide for them.

When someone is starting a business, there is a lot to do, and probably not a huge budget to bring on help, but that's what can make working with a VA so appealing.

For the VA, new stuff is exciting, and can lead to some really interesting projects, setup, organization research, and that kind of thing - things that VAs always tell me is the stuff they love to do.

Startups need a variety of administrative support: email management, calendar management, document formatting and preparation, data entry, and even travel arrangements.

There is often a lot of correspondence and connection that needs to happen as they start to get the word out about their new business.

Creating presentations and reports is a great service to offer as well - the client can provide the nuts and bolts but they don't have to spend time doing the whole thing.

As customers come into the business, onboarding and communication are really important. Especially if the company is new, the first batches of customers need to have excellent support - and that isn't something that the guys in charge should be doing themselves.

It's very common to have a customer service support system for online businesses, so that customers can get fast answers or help with things that they need access to or information about.

And of course, feedback is essential for any business, but definitely for startups as they may need to change course in the early day to ensure that they are delivering what their customers needs. Established businesses should also collect feedback, but when you have a proven product or service, this gets done a little less. Very important with startups.

Almost every VA's favourite service seems to be research! And startups need support in this area. Whether it is market research for industry trends, competitors or finding pools of customers, research can be a really valuable and essential service to offer to clients who are early in their business journey.

Bookkeeping and accounting always comes into play for business owners. It can be time consuming and even confusing when it's not your area of specialty and so it's often an area that gets outsourced first.

If you offer bookkeeping services, you should never be struggling to find clients!

Helping clients get the word out about their business is, again, always important - but even moreso with a new business like a startup.

Being able to assist with managing social media pages, updates, comments, engagement or even communities is an excellent way to get ongoing work that really impacts the client's business.

That's one of the things I often try to make sure VAs are clear on - the real benefits that the client will get from bringing you in to help them.

We tell them all the time we save them time and money, but we don't really.

So we need to find the real benefits - like I just mentioned with marketing, support in this area really impacts their business - why? because it can actually help bring in clients, or help clients make that decision to say YES, or retain clients that have already purchased.

Those benefits are the ones that you want to recognize from the services you offer.

When we can see HOW the client really actually benefits from working with us and outsourcing some of the tasks they need to do, or have done themselves in the past, that can help them make the leap to hiring us.

With marketing also comes building their audience - getting more eyes on their product or service, and getting their name out there to the people who will be their customers.

That means marketing outreach, email campaigns, subscriber lists and generating leads.

Being a market VA can help you show the return on investment a client will get by working with you.

Moving right along, you can provide virtual meeting support, project management and collaboration. So many services these new companies need.

If you are tech savvy, website and IT are a great service offering. And let's not leave out SEO. Being found in searches is dependent on creating content and posting it to your website or blog, and that's more ongoing work that you can count on.

Don't forget we are always looking for the repeatable tasks that we can do for a client. We don't always want to be doing projects with a stop and start. If we do, that means we will always be looking for new clients, which can be challenging.

But if we find clients that we can do a little bit of work for on an ongoing basis, that means a long term client.

And because startups will often tell you they don't have a huge budget (until their product or service goes viral!), it may be a tough sell to get a big client. But small clients are just as good!

I know when I see anyone starting up a new business, the task list is never ending - long, and always being added to.

They need to be focusing on generating revenue, and that often takes a lot more time when they are just getting started.

Even better if they have accessed start up grants to fund their business, actually, but be mindful that budget will often be an issue for businesses in their infancy.

So even more reason to bring in a VA for a few hours a week, to get all the other bits done.

If you can provide specialized services for them, even better. Many hands make light work, and like I always tell clients, I work very quickly, so that means that we can increase the productivity that they would have on their own, at least by 2x and very often much more than that.

And like I said, if you have tech skills, or organization skills, or just plain old cheerleading skills, that can be a really good connection for your startup client to have in their corner.

We need to get the word out to startup business owners that VAs can be very valuable assets to their team. This support enables entrepreneurs to focus on the strategic aspects of their business, fostering growth and innovation, which is critical at the beginning stages - and beyond.

Getting the word out about your Virtual Assistant business takes time.

But it shouldn't take all of your time.

And yet a lot of VAs I talk to are spending hours and hours preparing their marketing stuff.

There are a few reasons for this.

First, we often struggle with what to put out there. So it takes more time to come up with ideas for content. We spend too much time making lists and finding inspiration.

Second, we are perfectionists. Yes I'm looking at you, but I also have my hand up here so don't worry! So we work hours on graphics or content before we ever post them.

And third, we try to 'be' everywhere. All of the marketing professionals will tell you to master one channel before moving to others. But we have FOMO so we do 't listen to that advice.

So all that to say, it takes us a lot of time.

When you don't have a lot of clients you have a lot more free time, but you should not be filling it with marketing.

Networking, yes, but not content.

To do this part efficiently takes planning and strategy ... and that's where an editorial calendar can be extremely helpful.

It is your planning tool to help you decide what to put where, and when.

Content marketing is much more than just posting stuff.

You have to know why you are there, who you want to see it, and what you want them to do after seeing it.

To create an editorial calendar, you need to know what you are promoting.

Are you looking for more visibility and exposure for your VA business?

Are you looking for clients?

Are you looking to introduce a new service?

When you know what you want to talk about, then the calendar comes into play

I suggest doing your editorial calendar for one month.

I‌t will help you with time management, but also helps you with focused content, creation process, simpler research, and helps your audience to see that you are really an expert in these things, because you're not all over the place every single day.

Oh and as a completely random note, you can also reuse content! Just because you posted an image last month doesn't mean you can never use it again. Content is not one and done. Just be careful of posting the same thing to different platforms at the same time.

If people are connected to you in more than one place, they don't need to see the same thing posted everywhere. Strive to keep things different in different platforms.

Set your calendar up in Google Drive, or a project management system, or a content marketing system. I use Metricool and I simply love it.

Take 15 minutes or so a day to connect with the people in your groups or social media platforms - ask questions, answer questions, like, comment and share.

That goes a long way in building trust with your community.

And remember those goals - what are you looking to do with this month's content?

If content marketing is something you have a lot of trouble with, get some help with it. I can help.

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

I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving. I'd love to do the same for you.

One of the things that slows Virtual Assistants down in business is the struggle to make decisions.

I know this because you tell me. You all tell me. Every single day.

And some of you don't tell me.

I like to think that is mainly because you don't realize that's the problem.

But when we talk about what you are stuck on in your VA business - whether it is getting clients, networking, making money, your mindset, or your time management … the root of the problem can very often be traced back to not making a decision.

And like I said in today's intro, I don't mean making the right decision.

Sometimes we make the wrong decision and we get scared to make another one. That happens. That's when you should go and get some support to move forward.

But I digress.

What I am talking about is simply not making a choice about something and then expecting to move your business forward. It's nearly impossible.

So today we will talk about making choices and overcoming the common obstacles that hinder our ability to decide.

If you've ever found yourself stuck in the paralysis of indecision, afraid to make the wrong choice, you're in the right place. Let's go.

I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving. I'd love to do the same for you.

Being able to get where you want to go with your VA business takes getting out of your comfort zone.

Sometimes it takes a lot of that.

We feel scared because we have never been where we want to go - and we don't realllly know if we can get there.

We think we can, we hope we can, we try to plan to get there.

But we don't really know - and that alone can make us freeze in our tracks.

So we don't do the things that we know we need to do to get there.

I know I give you a lot of advice about how to grow your business - and a lot of that is mindset work, that you have to push yourself - and we don't like to do that.

But as Eddie says in our quote - although you think you are comfortable where you are … you're not. That's why you are looking for ways to do things differently.

Like listening to this podcast, or taking trainings, or doing endless research online about how to be better, and do better.

What you need to get comfortable with is taking steps that don't feel so easy.

The best way to do that is to do it with support, of course.

Getting someone to help you through the hard stuff is THE best advice I can give you.

I have to say that the first step is always the hardest.

After that things do get easier. I promise.

But it can be hard to take that first step.

I work with VAs all the time who have that trouble, and we work together through it.

How? Listen in to find out!

You know you want to move out of where you are right now.

One of the words that VAs like you use when they first start talking to me about a problem they are having is the word STUCK.

I remember being in a coaching group once and one of my colleagues said that she got her clients 'unstuck', and our coach didn't like that word because she didn't think it defined what my colleague actually helped her client with.

But it IS the word her clients used. Just like my clients - VAs like you - use.

And it's really important to talk about, because if you are feeling stuck - and if you are describing it as stuck, then its because you are stuck - and you don't know what to do about it.

Whew!

So here we are.

What does it mean to be stuck? It means you can't take a step forward from where you are, for one reason or another.

And the solution to being stuck is to move.

But the problem is that we often don't know what to do next, and so we stay with our feet firmly planted where we are.

I want to talk about how to get moving on today's episode, but to do that first we need to talk about some real examples.

Let's look at why you might be stuck:

If you need help, let's talk. I am here to help. It's the only reason I'm here at all, as you know. To help you become a ridiculously good VA.

I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving. I'd love to do the same for you.

We can work together privately, or in my monthly mastermind group, or in my group coaching program, or you can enroll in some of my self study trainings. I have lots of options to move your forward. Check them out in the show notes for this episode. Thanks for tuning in this week! I'll see you next time!
