trying to figure out where to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s really easy to fall in the trap of doing all the things, all at once, but that\u2019s exactly what can slow you down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let\u2019s walk through what your first 90 days should <em>really<\/em> look like.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because there are just a few things that matter in those early weeks, and a whole bunch that can absolutely wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The biggest mistake new virtual assistants make in those first 90 days: they focus on the wrong things.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They get caught up in designing a logo, building a perfect website, or creating a bunch of social media posts before they even know what they\u2019re offering or who they\u2019re offering it to. They worry about brand colors, business cards, and catchy taglines, instead of focusing on clarity, confidence, and connecting with actual clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And listen, I get it. It\u2019s easier to design a Canva graphic than it is to pitch yourself to someone and risk them saying no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It feels more productive to tweak your website font than to build a package and send it to a real person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that busy work is just a distraction. If you spend your first 90 days on fluff instead of foundation, you\u2019ll lose steam fast. So let\u2019s break it down \u2014 here\u2019s where your focus <em>should<\/em> be, month by month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Month One: Confidence, Clarity, and Connection-Building<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This first month is about finding your footing. You don\u2019t need to know everything. You don\u2019t need to have all the answers. What you <em>do<\/em> need is the confidence to take action, a bit of clarity around what kind of work you want to do, and the willingness to start conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the time to dig into your strengths. Think about what you enjoy doing, what comes naturally to you, and what skills you\u2019ve picked up from past jobs, volunteer work, or personal projects. Confidence comes from doing, not waiting until you feel ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clarity also comes through action. The more you talk to people, the more you\u2019ll start to see patterns in what they need and how you can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connection-building is one of the best uses of your time in month one. You\u2019re not pitching anyone &#8211; at least not right away, you\u2019re just putting yourself out there. Start showing up in entrepreneur groups (not VA groups), join a networking event, or reconnect with people you\u2019ve worked with before. Let them know you\u2019ve started this new business and you\u2019re excited about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first started my business, I did all the wrong things. Probably all the things you are doing now. And it was HARD.. I didn\u2019t talk to a single real person. I convinced myself that I could hide behind my computer and the clients would come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I sent emails, I used job boards, I went to online classified ad sites, and I tried to educate people about filling their position with a VA (me). It was so hard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I definitely wasn\u2019t connecting with the right people &#8211; or any people. Tons of rejection emails and phone calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things only turned around when I started having real conversations with people. It\u2019s so much easier to find people that actually need your services, and are aware of or open to working with someone remotely &#8211; than it is to try to convert the corporate world every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 25 years later, it\u2019s still the number one way I teach VAs to get clients &#8211; talk to business people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This month is all about movement. Small steps, daily. Not perfection. Not even polished presentations. Just gaining momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Month Two: Services, Pricing, and Portfolio-Building<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve got your footing and you\u2019re starting to feel more grounded, more confident, it\u2019s time to start building. This second month is where we shift gears into shaping your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to offer everything under the sun. In fact it\u2019s so much easier when you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with one or two services you enjoy and that you know others are looking for. Keep it simple. If you\u2019re great at scheduling, start with calendar management. If you love writing, offer email or blog support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pricing trips up a lot of new VAs. Don\u2019t let it stop you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start where you feel comfortable, but commit to revisiting your pricing soon. You\u2019re not locked into it. In fact, part of what you\u2019ll learn in month two is how long things take you and what feels like fair compensation for your time and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because our services are based on the time it takes to do things, timing is important &#8211; and knowing it is the most important thing that you can do to help yourself in month two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create processes, time the tasks you do, and then strive to always do them the same way again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you have a portfolio or not (I usually only recommend these for creative businesses), you should have a way to showcase your service offerings for your clients. I suggest a proposal template that you can send to people after you have talked to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something that outlines the scope of work you will do for them, the rates your charge, and basically how you communicate with them and other things like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having testimonials is the references of the business world. If you can ask people you have worked with before to write something up about how you are to work with, or how you have helped them, this can go a long way to increasing your confidence in meetings with potential clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first started, I chose my rate out of thin air. Literally. I took the salary I was making at the time and I added two dollars for \u2018overhead\u2019. I didn\u2019t even know what overhead was. It wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn\u2019t know why I was charging what I was charging, and so I didn\u2019t talk about it confidently. And my clients didn\u2019t feel that confidence either so I often negotiated or let them tell me how they would pay me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please don\u2019t do this! Get really clear and really confident in what services you offer, and set your rates properly using my rate calculator package &#8211; it will go a long way in you confidently talking about how much it costs to work with you (and the client doesn\u2019t get to decide that!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key this month is building your service offerings and starting to talk about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re not trying to grow your VA business yet. You are getting going, working out the bumpy parts, and you are focusing on having conversations that lead to that first client that says yes (or that first great client that says yes!) Then the next one. And the next one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Month Three: Visibility, Marketing, and Services Clarity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve got a foundation, you are confident, you\u2019ve got services nailed down, you\u2019re starting to talk to the right people\u2026 it\u2019s time to turn up the volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This third month is where you start getting visible. That doesn\u2019t mean you need to be everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pick one or two places where your audience hangs out, and start showing up there regularly. That might be LinkedIn, Facebook groups, Instagram, or even just a really solid email to people you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketing at this stage isn\u2019t about going viral or posting every day. It\u2019s about consistency and clarity. Say what you do, who you do it for, and how people can work with you, over and over again. You\u2019ll feel like you\u2019re repeating yourself. That\u2019s good. That means it\u2019s working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you start getting feedback from people, whether it\u2019s prospects asking questions or clients giving comments, you\u2019ll get the clarity you need to refine your messaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you realize one package is too complicated, or that people really love one specific thing you do. This is a great time to adjust and simplify. Everything is a work in progress, and this third month you\u2019ll gain the knowledge and insights you need to get really clear on what you do and who you help best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first started marketing, I thought I had to pitch to everyone. Ick, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might think the same thing. Tracey, how do I get clients if I don\u2019t pitch them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Easy &#8211; you show up where they are, and you talk about how you help people. And you actually help people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you aren\u2019t hard selling all the time, people will actually get to know you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The big new trend in marketing is storytelling &#8211; and all that really means is talking about what you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who have you helped before, and how did that help their business, their life? When you really think about those situations where you have helped people, the stories are so simple. And they are true. And they are unique to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what people like to hear about. They want to identify with you and start to build trust that you can help them too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I started implementing more stories into my content and my marketing, it really resonated with people. I have so many conversations and interactions from the things I post, and it leads to clients &#8211; and it will for you too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This month is also where you\u2019ll start to see results. Conversations turning into discovery calls. Calls turning into clients. It doesn\u2019t need to happen fast, but it <em>will<\/em> happen if you keep showing up and keep listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the more conversations you have the better you will get at them too. Practice makes perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time to Stop Overthinking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s where I want to take a breath and say this clearly: you do not need a logo to get a client. You do not need a website. You don\u2019t need brand colors, fonts, or professional photos. Are all those nice to have? Of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you need them eventually? Yep! But what you need to get your first clients is clarity. You need action. You need conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prettiest branding in the world won\u2019t get you a client if you\u2019re not making connections. And your dream client does not care what your logo looks like. They care about whether you can help them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re spending hours fussing with your brand board instead of sending a DM or applying for a job, it\u2019s time to shift your energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Simple Weekly Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep yourself focused through these 90 days, create a simple weekly rhythm. One day a week, review what\u2019s working and what\u2019s not. Set one main goal for the week, like finalizing a service list, writing a social media post, or reaching out to two people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then commit to five small actions per week. That\u2019s it. Five. They could be: commenting on a post, sending an email, updating a service page, practicing asking for a discovery call, or taking a mini training. Each one should take less than 30 minutes. When done consistently, they build real momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early on in my business I took CJ Hayden\u2019s program Get Clients Now. She focuses on taking daily actions, and it works. l teach the same thing every day now, because it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you do something every day for 30 days, you build a habit, you get better at it, but you also focus on it every day for those 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tell VAs all the time, don\u2019t try to book in 2 hours on a Sunday to work on your business. I hear this all the time, and I tell them to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because that means the rest of the week you\u2019re not paying attention to it. That means you are working on your business only 4 times a month. And if a family event comes up and you end up not doing what you wanted on that Sunday for you business, then all momentum is lost because now it\u2019s 2 weeks between business focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Short daily actions. Keep your business top of mind, create great habits, keep your mindset positive and high, and have conversations every single day. It\u2019s the best way to create momentum and head in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to do everything at once. You just need to do the <em>right<\/em> things, in order, with intention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s circle back to today\u2019s quote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSuccess is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.\u201d \u2014 Robert Collier<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh look, Robert\u2019s right. And CJ Hayden is right. And Tracey is right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s exactly what your first 90 days are about. Not big leaps. Not instant results. Just steady, thoughtful, imperfect action. Every day. Every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s how you build something real. That\u2019s how you grow. That\u2019s how you succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do You Need Help?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I can help you set up that plan.
