Many virtual assistants assume that the more clients they have, the more successful they must be. But what if stacking your roster is actually pulling you further away from the freedom and flexibility you started this journey for in the first place?

In this episode, Laura Nicole challenges the hustle-driven belief that success equals having as many clients as possible. She explains why a packed schedule can quickly lead to burnout, divided attention, and trading one stressful job for another even if you’re technically working from home.

If your goal is more time with your family, less stress, and an income that actually supports your life, this conversation will help you rethink what growth should look like.

In this episode, Laura Nicole will discuss:

• Why having more clients is often a vanity metric - and the hidden cost that comes with it
• What a sustainable, profitable VA roster actually looks like
• How finding aligned, long-term clients creates more income, stability, and peace

Ready to attract high-quality clients instead of chasing more work? Grab Laura’s Client Magnet Method where she teaches how to identify ideal clients, start genuine conversations, and confidently position your services so you can build a curated roster.

Podcasting has exploded as a visibility tool for online business owners - but what most people don’t see is how much work happens after the record button turns off. Behind every episode is a repeatable system of tasks that clients don’t want to manage themselves… and that’s where virtual assistants come in.

In this episode, Laura Nicole pulls back the curtain on podcast management as a VA service. She breaks down what podcast support actually looks like, what you would (and wouldn’t) be responsible for, and why you don’t need to be tech-savvy or experienced in podcasting to offer this service confidently. 

If you enjoy structure, checklists, and behind-the-scenes work, this episode will help you decide if podcast management could be a natural fit for you to offer.

In this episode, Laura Nicole will discuss:

• What podcast management really looks like behind the scenes
• The key tasks VAs handle once an episode is recorded
• Why systems, organization, and follow-through matter more than tech skills

Curious what VA services align best with your strengths? Laura’s Discover Your Superstar VA Skills 4 Step Workshop helps you turn the skills you already have into services you can confidently offer.

One of the most common doubts moms have about starting virtual assistant work isn’t about skills, it’s about time. When your days are broken into short stretches between responsibilities, it can feel unrealistic to believe those moments could ever translate into real income.

In this episode, Laura Nicole breaks down why those small pockets of time are not something you need to “outgrow” before you can start earning. She walks through how brief work sessions throughout the day can add up faster than you think, and why focusing on total hours worked (not perfectly blocked schedules) changes everything.

If you’ve ever wondered how working 10 or 15 minutes at a time could possibly make a difference financially, this conversation will help you see your schedule and your earning potential in a whole new way.

In this episode, Laura Nicole will discuss:

• How pockets of time throughout your day can add up to consistent weekly income
• Why you don’t need long, uninterrupted work blocks to start making money as a VA
• How to realistically match your income goals with the time you already have

Want help identifying your own pockets of time and turning them into income?Join Laura’s free 3-day VA Challenge (January 26–28) where she’ll guide you through mapping your schedule, using your existing skills, and seeing exactly how VA work could fit into your current routine.

In this episode, Laura Nicole will discuss:

• Why you don’t need advanced tech skills to become a VA
• The real skills clients value most in a virtual assistant

One of the hardest truths about becoming a virtual assistant is also one of the most freeing: signing clients is a numbers game. 

And when you don’t understand the numbers, it’s easy to assume something is wrong with you when you’re not signing clients as fast as you’d like to.

In this episode, Laura Nicole breaks down why talking to “only” 10 or 15 potential clients isn’t a failure, it’s just not enough data yet. She explains how networking actually works, why conversion rates matter, and how understanding the math behind client signing can instantly take the emotion and self-doubt out of the process.

If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe this just isn’t working for me,” this conversation will give you a much-needed mindset shift and a practical way forward.

In this episode, Laura Nicole will discuss:

• Why signing clients as a VA is a numbers game (and why that actually works in your favor)
• What realistic conversion rates look like so you can stop taking “no’s” personally
• How increasing the number of conversations you start can dramatically improve your chances of landing a client

Want a simple, repeatable way to start more client conversations? Laura teaches her 15-Minute Networking Method inside the Client Magnet Method, a mini course designed to help you find ideal clients, start natural conversations, and move confidently toward discovery calls.
