How Not to Fire a Virtual Assistant Client

This is an important subject. Pull up with a cup of tea and read it. How not to fire a client (or how to graciously be fired, as the case may be). I had a conversation with an entrepreneur this week about how she made some changes in her business, and decided to go a different route with support. That meant that she had to cut ties with a VA she had worked with for a number of years. It didn’t go well. It inspired me to write this article because this is a very important thing to GET RIGHT as a business owner. It’s never easy when you stop working with a client. Especially if it’s their decision. It’s… Read More »How Not to Fire a Virtual Assistant Client

Show Up To Be A More Successful VA

Have you ever heard the saying 80% of success is just showing up? The quote is attributed to Woody Allen but many people have also said similar things over the years. And 80% is probably not an actual statistic, but more a feeling. But in my experience it’s absolutely accurate. If you don’t show up, you can’t do the work you have to do to get to where you want to go. And of course, doing the work is a big part of your success. What are you doing in your VA business that is considered showing up? Are you making connections every day with potential clients? Are you putting yourself out there so that people can see your expertise?… Read More »Show Up To Be A More Successful VA

I could get things done for him before he even knew he needed them. I was an excellent assistant. When you make the leap to becoming a Virtual Assistant,… Read More »Stop Doing This Now To Become a Better Virtual Assistant
