The VA Simple™ Podcast

Do you find you lack confidence when trying something new or making a big change in your life?

The thing is you need confidence to get experience... and you can't get experience without having the confidence to first try something new like:

Launch your business

Offer a new service

Pivot your offerings

Quit your soul sucking job

In this week's episode of the Virtual Assistant Tips, Tricks + Advice Podcast I'm sharing tips on how to gain the confidence you need to go for it - whatever your dream is.

You CAN do it - you just have to stop telling yourself you can't. Your mindset is what could be holding you back!

Have you heard that you need a "Portfolio" to share with potential clients to showcase your services?

Well... you may or you may not need one. It depends on the services you're offering - it's NOT one size fits all.

Regardless of what others say - not everyone needs a Portfolio.

In this week's episode of the Virtual Assistant Tips, Tricks + Advice Podcast I'm sharing what a Portfolio is and why you MIGHT need one for your business.

I see this question posted on social media at least once a week - "What skills do clients want or what are the top skills they are looking for".

That's a great question if you're already in business and want to learn an in-demand skills set... BUT what about if you're trying to start your VA biz?

It's a bit more daunting since most people starting a business are tight on time + energy.

In this week's episode of the Virtual Assistant Tips, Tricks + Advice Podcast I'm sharing what I think you should focus on instead if you're still trying to launch your VA business.

Focus on what you can do NOW and then create a wait list for the "top skills" to learn when you have the time + space to do so.

Oh and here is the link to my Free Top 10 Skills e-book that I mention in this episode - you can use it as a reference for what you want to learn once you're up and running.  https://thetechiementor.krtra.com/t/m4k9UJVwZsa4

I've been seeing several new VA Coaches + Trainers sharing their definition of what a Virtual Assistant is - and they're all saying the same thing.

The issue is that it's incorrect!

A Virtual Assistant is NOT just an Admin, they are so much more than that.

In this week's episode of the Virtual Assistant Tips, Tricks + Advice Podcast I'm sharing my definition of Virtual Assistant and the direction the VA Industry is heading.

I hope you'll listen and share your thoughts! And.. feel free to share this with anyone you feel would find this episode helpful.

Have you had to turn business away because you didn't offer a particular service? For instance, let's say your client came to you asking you to design a logo or write a piece of copy and it's not something you do. So... chances are you had to say "no" and turn that piece of business away.

Well... if you had a Referral Partner that you could refer business to then you wouldn't have to say no when clients ask you for services you don't offer + you can get paid for the referral! It's a win-win!

In this week's episode of the Virtual Assistant Tips, Tricks + Advice Podcast I'm sharing how finding trusted referral partners can help increase your income and make live easier for your clients.

I'll share:

What referral partners are

The benefits to you and them

How to find them

How to refer business to them

Plus tips + tricks

I hope you'll listen and share your thoughts! And.. feel free to share this with anyone you feel would find this episode helpful.

In this week's episode of the Virtual Assistant Tips, Tricks + Advice Podcast I'm explaining why you should NOT work for free or for a testimonial.

You're expertise is worth so much more than that. If you don't value your worth, no one else will!

When you work for free or barter someone always gets the short end of the stick and may end up feeling taken advantage of. 

Charge something for your services but don't work for free or a testimonial.

Have a launch special - charge a discounted rate for a period of time or for a certain number of clients.

I have a blog + podcast on how to create your launch special - you can find it at https://www.thetechiementor.com/virtual-assistant-launch-special/

Here is the article I refer to on unpaid internships - be sure you understand your rights if you're going to intern.

Are you struggling to get clients for your VA business?

I bet I know why... 

In this week's episode of the Virtual Assistant Tips, Tricks + Advice Podcast I'm talking about the "methods" that so many VA Coaches teach their students to find + get clients that don't work!

Things likes:

Join VA Groups

Send out cold emails 

Post "hire me" posts on social media

Wait for clients to come to you

And a few more...

These methods are NOT marketing nor are they "methods" that will help you sustain long term success and give you the freedom + flexibility you're looking for.

Be sure to give it a listen if you want to learn real strategies for getting clients that will set up you for long term success!

There is a rash of new VA Coaches, Trainers and training programs coming on the market - it's mind boggling! The issue is that most of these new training programs leave you wanting more because they don't teach you long term strategies for success. 

I get it - they promise the moon in their marketing and make it sound almost too good to be true... Things like earn $30k in one month from your PJ's without any specialized skills!

Sorry... but that is NOT true. It's nothing but hype + fluff + filler.

95% of the training courses out there ALL teach the same things BUT they don't teach how to have long term sustainable success!

In this episode of the VA Tips, Tricks + Advice channel I talk about the things to watch out for BEFORE investing your hard earned money into any training or coaching program.

I'm also sharing a new training program I'm launching February 2021 - that is NOT your typical VA training program. It teaches all the things the others don't including Digital Marketing.

If you're interested in learning more about this one of a kind unique + comprehensive program you can find out more about this new program at https://thetechiementor.krtra.com/t/rp39GKAzeFlF
