Your Virtual Assistant Coach

Not sure how to actually find your first clients? The Client Magnet Method walks you through exactly how to connect with the right people and confidently move toward getting hired.

__________________________________________

There’s a belief that you need personal business owner connections to land clients as a virtual assistant, and it’s keeping a lot of women from even getting started.

In this episode, I’m unpacking why that isn’t actually true and what it really takes to start finding clients when you don’t know any business owners personally.

I walk you through how the internet becomes your network, what networking actually looks like in practice, and why the real shift happens when you decide to take action instead of staying stuck in that initial hesitation.

In this episode, we chat about👇🏻

• Why direct connections aren’t required to become a VA

• Where clients are actually being found online

• What moves you from overthinking into taking action

If you’re ready to start connecting with potential clients but don’t know where to begin, the Client Magnet Method will guide you through how to find your ideal clients, start conversations, and move toward landing your first client.

What can you expect from this podcast and future episodes?

• Bite-sized episodes that give you quick, actionable insights into the Virtual Assistant industry
• Learn how to build skills, boost your confidence, and create a profitable VA business

There’s a side of virtual assistant work that doesn’t always get talked about, and it’s one of the most in-demand (and exciting!) ways to support clients.

From behind-the-scenes prep to fast-paced launch week tasks, I share how VAs play a key role in making launches run smoothly and why this service can be such a valuable, and fun, addition to what you offer.

I also break down how launch work fits into the natural rhythm of online businesses, so you know what to expect and how to prepare.

In this episode, we chat about👇🏻

• What “launch support” really involves as a virtual assistant

✨ Join my free First Client Formula training to learn how to find and sign your first VA client!

__________________________________________

There’s a reason why scrolling job boards isn’t getting you the kind of clients you actually want, and it’s probably not what you think.

In this episode, I’m talking about a different way to approach finding clients - one that doesn’t rely on waiting around for opportunities, but instead puts you in control of creating them.

It might feel uncomfortable at first, especially if you’re used to the more “traditional” way of applying for work. But when done right, it doesn’t have to take hours of your time or feel overwhelming.

Sometimes, the shift isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing things differently.

In this episode, we chat about👇🏻

• Why job platforms like Fiverr and Upwork often lead to frustration

• What proactive networking looks like in real life

• How 15 minutes a day can lead to landing a client

✨ Want the exact formula to land your first client? Register for the free First Client Formula training and send me a DM on Instagram @hey.lauranicole with “FCF” after you sign up. I’ll see you there!

__________________________________________

There’s a big difference between wanting to become a virtual assistant… and actually signing your first client.

And for most women? That gap has NOTHING to do with ability - and everything to do with simply not knowing what to do next.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my signature program, the Superstar Assistant Academy, and showing you exactly how moms go from feeling stuck and overwhelmed… to landing clients and making real money from home.

Because here’s the truth: you can spend months piecing this together on your own, second guessing every step… or you can follow a proven, step-by-step process that removes the guesswork and gets you moving faster.

If you’ve been sitting there wondering “okay but what do I actually DO?”  this episode will give you that clarity.

In this episode, we chat about👇🏻

• Why so many women get stuck before they ever sign their first client
 • What the Superstar Assistant Academy actually walks you through (step-by-step)
 • The difference between figuring it out alone vs following a proven roadmap

If you’ve been wanting to start networking on Instagram but feel yourself hesitating because you don’t have a “business account” or you don’t want to create content to find VA clients, you need to listen to this!.

In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at how you can use your personal Instagram account to find clients without starting from scratch or turning it into a full-on business page.

This topic comes straight from real coaching conversations inside my Superstar Accelerator group coaching space, where so many women feel stuck between wanting to network and feeling awkward showing up from a personal profile. 

The truth is, you don’t need a brand-new account or consistent content to make this work, you just need a few intentional tweaks to your existing account.

If you’ve been overthinking how your profile looks or worrying that it’s “not professional enough,” this episode will show you how to bridge that gap in a simple, doable way.

In this episode, we chat about👇🏻

• How to use your personal Instagram account to connect with potential clients

• Simple ways to make your profile feel more aligned with your VA services

__________________________________________

As a VA, it’s easy to feel like you have to say yes to every client who wants to hire you, especially when you’re just starting out. 

But what if part of building a successful VA income was also about knowing when to say no?

In this episode, I dive into the power of client alignment, why turning down the wrong fit can actually move your business forward, and how trusting your instincts can save you time, energy, and stress.

If you’ve ever worried about “missing out” or signing a client who doesn’t feel right, this episode will give you a new perspective and the confidence to start putting it into practice.

In this episode, we chat about👇🏻

• Why it’s okay to say no to a potential client

• How to recognize when a client isn’t the right fit

• Why client alignment matters more than just getting paid

In this episode, I’m challenging the way you think about rejection and what it actually means when a potential client tells you no. Because the truth is, if you’re not putting yourself in a position to be rejected, you’re also not putting yourself in a position to be hired.

I walk you through a mindset shift that can completely change how you approach pitching yourself as a virtual assistant. Instead of seeing rejection as failure, I want you to start seeing it as part of the process, something that’s actually moving you closer to your next yes.

If you’ve been holding back, overthinking your next move, or avoiding putting yourself out there because you’re scared of hearing “no”, this episode is your push to take action.

In this episode, we chat about👇🏻

• Why every “no” is actually getting you closer to a “yes”

• How rejection helps you improve your pitch and learn more about clients

• The mindset shift that will keep you moving forward instead of giving up

Once you’ve given a potential client the chance to say no, send me a DM on Instagram @hey.lauranicole to celebrate you stepping out of your comfort zone. I can’t wait to cheer you on!

In this episode, I’m joined by my long-time virtual assistant, Caitlin, who has been working with me inside the Superstar Assistant Academy for over three and a half years. We’re pulling back the curtain on what a real client-VA relationship can look like when the alignment is right.

Caitlin shares how she discovered virtual assistant work after becoming a mom and wanting a way to earn an income from home. From starting with just a few hours a week to becoming an essential part of the business, her role has grown alongside the Superstar Assistant Academy.

Together, we talk about how our working relationship developed, how responsibilities evolved over time, and what it actually looks like to collaborate with a client long term. If you’ve ever wondered whether VA work can provide stability, flexibility, and meaningful work, this conversation gives a real-life look behind the scenes.

In this episode, we chat about👇🏻

• How Caitlin and I first connected and started working together

__________________________________________

This episode is a little different from our usual VA strategy chats. Instead of diving into clients or offers, I’m sharing something more personal - the quiet realization that somewhere between motherhood and business, I stopped doing things just for me.

For a long time, “maybe someday” became my default. 

Maybe someday I’d pick up that hobby. Maybe someday I’d take that trip. Maybe someday I’d make time. 

But recently, I started questioning that pattern and making small changes that feel bigger than I expected.

In this episode, I’m talking about what shifted, the tiny ways I’m reclaiming parts of myself, and how building a flexible VA business creates space for a life that isn’t all work and responsibility.

If you’ve been feeling a little disconnected from yourself lately, lost in the identity of motherhood, this conversation will feel like a gentle nudge back to you.

In this episode, I chat about👇🏻

• The moment I realized I’d been living in “maybe someday”
• The small changes I’m making to feel like myself again
• How flexibility as a VA supports a fuller life

 If this episode resonated, come tell me what your “maybe someday” is over on Instagram at @hey.lauranicole. I’d love to hear it and cheer you on. 💛
