Plan your Successful Virtual Assistant Business

Do you have a business plan? If you do, congratulations! I bet you are doing fairly well in your business! Simply by having a plan in place that can help you set goals and build strategies, you are on your way to success! If you don’t, you are probably struggling or unsure about how to find clients, work or just success in general. One of the first things I do with any mentoring client or student in my training classes is look at their business plan. Most don’t actually have one – and so that’s the very first thing we do.

Do you know what you are doing?

Business planning gets me jazzed up. It’s exciting to flesh out ideas and make plans to bring new and exciting programs to my network. In short, it helps me know what I am doing to bring revenue (and more!) into my business. Do you know what you are doing? If you don’t have a clear picture of your purpose, keep reading! So as I was doing some reading over the holidays, I came upon a course I had taken late last year about marketing. One of the pieces of the program was to develop my Mission Statement. I didn’t remember writing it, but it rang very true when I re-read my homework. (Imagine not remembering something so important!) Here is… Read More »Do you know what you are doing?

No clients for your virtual assistant business yet? What are you trying to sell?

“The really unhappy person is the one who leaves undone what they can do, and starts doing what they don’t understand; no wonder they come to grief.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe I recently came across the quote and I was immediately struck by it. One of the big problems I see with Virtual Assistants who are either just starting out, or who are trying in vain to grow their business, is exactly the essence of this quotation. They try to build their business doing something new or something that they have not gained expertise with. I have had many conversations with people who are starting their VA business, and they don’t realize how much value they have in the… Read More »No clients for your virtual assistant business yet?

What’s Your Earning Potential As a Virtual Assistant?

One of the questions I get asked often is how much money a VA can make. Well, the answer to that question is similar to the answer to this one: how long is a piece of string? The fact is that when you are a small business owner, you are the one in control of how much you earn in your business. If you want to have a small, part time business that allows you to be at home for your family and work around a busy schedule, then you can choose to do that. If you want to work full time as a solopreneurs, and work only during regular business hours, and you just want to replace the income… Read More »What’s Your Earning Potential As a Virtual Assistant?

Are you looking at the big picture?

I’m writing this as I am away at my mastermind retreat with some Virtual Assistant colleagues. Each year we take a few days and travel to a cottage to brainstorm, work on our businesses, and to relax from the busy-ness of our businesses. One of the things we do before we get to our retreat is we plan what we want to get done while we are there. We all do marketing and networking and business building on a regular basis, but the retreat allows us to look at the big picture … I find that’s something we don’t always take the time to do. When we can turn off the noises around us and just reflect on where we… Read More »Are you looking at the big picture?

Strategies for a Thriving VA Business

Do you strategize in every area of your business? Only some areas? (or should I even ask – any??) Many virtual professionals I know have gone through that phase where they just put one foot in front of the other and hope that things go well. The problem with that is that if you don’t have a plan in place, you can experience a lot of issues. you can go off track worse, you can go nowhere you can’t measure your successes In order to know whether things are going the best way possible in your business it’s important to determine where you want to go, how you want to get there, how you are GOING to get there, and… Read More »Strategies for a Thriving VA Business
