The Ridiculously Good Virtual Assistant Show

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering why you keep landing clients who don’t value your skills, your time, or your expertise, you might need to revisit how you position yourself, how you communicate your value, and how you negotiate your role in your client’s business.

First things first I want to say welcome to episode 150!! I'm so proud to have started this podcast back in July 2022, and I've come to you at least once a week since then. I've only missed a couple! So yay me and yay you too, I so appreciate you continuing to tune in every week. If you weren't here, I probably wouldn't be either!

Today I want to talk about attending...

In today’s episode, we are jumping in to an unexpected source of business wisdom - The Pitt, the new medical drama on Max, or Crave here in Canada.

It’s one of our indulgences, and as I always tell you, look for business lessons in your everyday life - so that’s where this is coming from.

I remember a time when I was convinced that if I just listed all the amazing features of my  services, people would immediately see the value and sign up.

I would outline every detail, the number of sessions, the worksheets included, the email support, thinking that surely more information meant a stronger case.

But instead of drawing p...

Today's Quote: “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” - Peter Drucker

If you’ve ever wondered where to start with marketing or how to connect with the right clients, this episode is for you.

I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to figure out what’s working and what’s not when it comes to marketing.

Let’s talk about growth!

Because let’s be real, running a business isn’t just about getting clients and completing tasks. If you want a sustainable, thriving VA business, you need to be growing every single month.

The good news is that growth doesn’t have to be overwhelming. You don’t have to change everything overnight.

Too many virtual assistants struggle with marketing because they feel like they have to present themselves in a certain way - like they have to be polished, super-professional, or more like someone else in their industry.

But really, your best marketing strategy is authenticity. When you show up as yourself, you attract the right clients - the ones who actually align w...

Today let’s talk about something that is crucial for your success as a virtual assistant, your mindset. If you want to attract the best clients, the ones who respect you, value your work, and pay you well, then it all starts with what is going on in your head.

If you have ever struggled with setting your rates, dealing with imposter syndrome, or feeling like you have t...

Networking isn’t just about talking and pitching yourself. It’s about making meaningful connections, and one of the best ways to do that is by being a great listener.

In this episode, we’ll talk about why active listening is such a powerful tool for virtual assistants, how to develop it, and how to use it to build stronger business relationships.

Not all social media platforms are created equal, especially when it comes to marketing your VA services.

Choosing the right platform isn’t just about where you like to spend time—it’s about where your ideal clients are spending their time.

If you’re putting all your effort into a platform where your audience isn’t active, you’re working harder than you n...

Whether you’re just starting out or ready to take your VA business to the next level, you’re in the right place.

Today, we’re diving into a topic that I get asked about all the time: how to find clients for your virtual assistant business using Instagram.

Now I’m going to let you know that I am not an Instagram expert, but I do know som...

One of the biggest mistakes I see VAs make is trying to do everything at once. Social media posts, cold emails, joining every networking group, tweaking their website… sound familiar?

You’re not alone - I do the same thing!

While those are all great strategies in the long term, they can dilute your energy and results when you’re lookin...
