A Quick and Easy Follow Up System – To Build Your VA Business

I recently taught a teleclass called How to Create and Implement a Follow Up System. In it, I teach how to get an idea of what you need to think about when you are strategizing your follow up, what you need to have in place, and how to manage it all so that you can keep on top of all of the contacts you make on a regular basis. If you don’t have a follow up system in place, you are more than likely leaving money on the table. Think about it – why do you spend so much time networking if you aren’t going to follow up? The mantra in marketing is that it takes between 5 and 7… Read More »A Quick and Easy Follow Up System – To Build Your VA Business

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?

5 Tips to Selecting the Perfect Coach for You

As people start to realize that I offer coaching services to Virtual Assistants, the question always arises: how do I know who is the right coach for me? This is great question. First of all, it’s important to realize that your coach has to be a good fit for you. Just because someone is a well-known coach does not mean that working with them will be a good investment for you. You need to make sure of several things before you take the plunge. 1. What is their area of specialty? It’s essential to know what they offer as their specialty – because if it’s not a fit for what you need right now, then it might not be the… Read More »5 Tips to Selecting the Perfect Coach for You

Your VA Mentor: How to Get 3 New Clients in 60 Days

How to Get 3 New VA Clients in 60 Days

I am halfway through my Earn 50K as a VA Bootcamp and in our lessons we have arrived at Getting Clients. This is such a big part of being in business, but yet a lot of VAs just don’t know where to go to find clients. In fact, it’s one of the questions I am asked most often in my networking circles – where do I find clients? It’s not as hard as you think, but it has to start out with a plan – and a strategy. First of all, you know you should also be networking. You should always be connecting with new people (who could potentially be your clients) and you should always be following up with… Read More »How to Get 3 New VA Clients in 60 Days

Your VA Mentor: Clear Your Brain Fog - and Bump Up Your Brain Power!

Clear Your Brain Fog – and Bump Up Your Brain Power!

I have been in ‘clean up’ mode lately. Part of that is due to the fact that I just rolled out a new program (my 50K VA Bootcamp). When I am building content for a program, I tend to grab all of my old notes from things I have taught before, as well as my ‘swipe’ file that contains new ideas that I want to implement in the program. In short, I kind of pull a lot of papers and books out of their hiding places. Once you do something like that, you can see just what it is you have been holding onto, and you can make the decision to use it or lose it. I made the decision… Read More »Clear Your Brain Fog – and Bump Up Your Brain Power!

Your VA Mentor: Celebrate Your Successes, No Matter How Small

Celebrate Your Successes, No Matter How Small

Recently I guess I was multi-tasking without really intending too. I had several big projects on the go – some work, and some personal. I ended up finishing several of them all at once, or within a few days of each other, and the sense of relief and accomplishment I felt was really great. I shared it on my social media profiles and got really nice feedback from people who knew of one or more of my projects. This inspired me to go back to my Success Journal. Do you keep one? I have a beautiful journal that a client gave me as thanks for helping her with an event, and I use it as my Success Journal. A few… Read More »Celebrate Your Successes, No Matter How Small

Your VA Mentor: Simple Tips to Help You Manage Multiple Clients

Simple Tips to Help You Manage Multiple VA Clients

This week I received an email from a VA who said that with all the training that people offer for Virtual Assistants, she hasn’t found anyone who teaches how to work with multiple clients. She had some specific questions about how to manage her client work. I understood that she was asking how to collaborate with clients and make sure that you had boundaries and procedures in place to ease the flow of work back and forth. She replied that it wasn’t what she was looking for. So we dug a bit deeper, and that’s when we got to her real question: how do you put systems in place to manage your workload during the day? Her specific example was… Read More »Simple Tips to Help You Manage Multiple VA Clients

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. Without putting all of your business plans down on paper, you can’t build a solid strategy to sell your… Read More »Plan your Successful Virtual Assistant Business
