Sometimes, I think the name “assistant” can pull a certain type of stereotype that maybe we have been conditioned to believe in movies or where the assistant is just at the mercy of the person who has hired them and they are running themselves ragged trying to please their boss. The Devil Wears Prada, anyone? 🤪

But being a virtual assistant is more about being a member of the team. Plus, you run your own business too, so that means you set your boundaries and expectations as well!

In this episode, I am sharing three areas I believe you should be setting boundaries around and how to do so in order to not only grow a sustainable business but prevent yourself from burnout along the way.  🎧

It's been one year since I started working with my first handful of clients (at 25 weeks pregnant and with a 17-month-old on my hip) and since then we have generated over $100k in revenue and have helped over 60 women start and grow their business as a virtual assistant, too.

Throughout the last 12 months, I have learned so much, but today, we are chatting about three lessons that stick out to me the most!

Cheers to year one, and many more to go! 🎉

Raise your hand if you feel like there are not enough hours in the day?  Or maybe your to-do list is never-ending? Maybe a little bit of both? 🙋🏻‍♀️

In this episode we are talking about time management and how you can use a practice that I learned a couple of years ago, to help you take ownership of your time and align your to-do list with your priorities!

There are a ton of ways to market your business as a virtual assistant and social media is one of them, and personally, it’s one of my favorites.

Instagram is a free tool you can use to in order to spread the word about your business while also connecting and networking with your ideal clients as well as get to know other business owners that you might have never even known existed if it weren’t for social media. 

But what should you post? 🤔😅 

In this episode we are going to chat about five posts you should make sure you post if you plan on using your Instagram as a marketing tool and how you can keep using these topics for months to come!

I have been an entrepreneur for over 5 years now over those 5 years, I have gone all in on some business opportunities and just dabbled in others, but when I look back over the years on the opportunities I had, I do not regret a single one.

I believe that everything that has come before where I am today has simply been a stepping stone to prepare me for this. And listen, I don’t even think that THIS is the end all be all! But what I do know is that while I don't have any regrets, I do with I would have started sooner. Started when I didn't feel "ready". And in this week's episode, I am going to share WHY.

Last episode we talked all about how to make an extra $1000 a month as a VA and I mentioned in that episode that is BEFORE taxes and expenses are accounted for. Well, in this episode I am going to be sharing a little more about what those expenses actually look like so that you can get a good idea of how much money you will actually be “taking home”!

Virtual assistants make a wide range of income. It really depends on the VA, their work schedule, their goals, their experience, how long they have been in business, their services, the way they structure their packages, and so on. 

I know I have talked about this on the podcast before but I think that there is incredible power and freedom in a side hustle. Multiple streams of income are more important than ever right now with the rising costs of well, literally everything. So today, we are chatting about how you can make an extra $1,000 a month as a virtual assistant! 💻✨
