The Ridiculously Good Virtual Assistant Show
Helping Virtual Assistants Build Confidence, Attract Better Clients, and Grow a Profitable Business You've already started your virtual assistant business… but something still feels harder than it should. Maybe you're undercharging, working with the wrong clients, or struggling to find consistent, higher-quality work. You know you're capable of more, but you're not sure how to get there. The Ridiculously Good VA Show is for virtual assistants who are ready to move beyond low-paying tasks and start building a more confident, profitable business. Each week, you'll learn how to attract better clients, raise your rates, and create services that reflect the value you actually bring. We focus on simple strategies, clear direction, and the confidence you need to take consistent action without overthinking everything. Because growing your VA business isn't about doing more. It's about doing the right things, at the right level. I'm Tracey D'Aviero, Confidence Coach for Virtual Assistants, and I'll show you how to stop settling and start building a business that feels solid, sustainable, and aligned with where you want to go. Need my help? I offer training, group coaching, private coaching and I run events from time to time too!

Episodes
Today I want to talk about marketing.
VAs tell me, "I know I should be marketing my business... I just don't know what to post."
Business owners tell me that too!
If you've ever said that, it's not just you. It's a big reason that business owners - and definitely VAs - stay inconsistent and invisible on s...
Today we are talking about package pricing.
Packages can completely change your VA business - your confidence, and even the type of clients you attract.
Now, if you've been following me for any length of time, you'll know I'm a huge believer in charging by the package instead of by the hour. It's one of those mindset shifts that can feel...
Today's episode is a little different because we are doing an AMA, an Ask Me Anything episode.
Over the years, I have had thousands of conversations with virtual assistants. I have answered questions inside communities, during coaching calls, through emails, in workshops, and in conversations with VAs who are just getting started and VAs who have been in business for y...
Today I want to share one of my favourite little systems. It's something I teach my coaching clients, and once they start using it, they rarely go back.
I call it the 20-Minute Meeting.
Now before you think I'm suggesting you cut meetings short just for the sake of it, that's not what this is about.
This...
Today we are talking about something that you will no doubt encounter at some time, in some form in your VA business: the messy client.
To be clear, a messy client is not a bad person - or even a bad business person. They are not "wrong" or impossible. But they are a client who brings a level of disorganization, inconsistency, or emotional overwhelm into your working r...
Today we are talking about something really important when it comes to getting clients... Conversations.
A lot of VAs I talk to think getting clients is about posting endlessly on social media, or obsessing over your website, or redesigning your Canva graphics for the fifteenth time.
But it's the conversations you are having - or probab...
Today we're talking about something that might sound a little fancy, maybe a little corporate … but honestly it's one of the simplest things you can do to feel more organized, more confident, and more in control in your VA business.
I'm talking about creating a simple weekly CEO routine.
Now before you tune out because you think ...
Today we are talking about something that I het a lot of VAs don't even think is a problem.
That is, staying stuck at low rates.
I'm not talking about VAs who are getting started. A lot of us started with rates lower than we should have. (If this is you, sign up for my $97 Getting Started as a VA self study program to get the right found...
If you are not getting inquiries about your VA services, it's usually not because you're not good at what you do. I mean, for sure that's not the reason.
It's because of how you're talking about what you do.
And I want to be really clear here.
This is not about becoming a better salesperson in a pushy, u...
Today we're talking about something that I see all the time with virtual assistants, especially once you're past that very beginning stage.
You're working. You're showing up. You've maybe had some clients, or you even have clients right now. But your business feels scattered. A little all over the place. A little unclear. Like you're doing a lot, but not really buildi...
Speaking is one of the most powerful ways to tell your story, share your expertise, and connect with potential clients in a way that written content just can't always do.
When I say speaking, I don't just mean getting on a big stage in front of hundreds of people. I'm talking about all forms of speaking. Small workshops. Guest trainings. Podcast interviews. Networking ...
Today we're bringing everything together from the last couple of episodes.
You've been thinking about why your business isn't growing the way you expected. Hopefully you've started to see how important it is to have a plan instead of just trying things and hoping something works.
But there's another layer to this that might be quietly s...
Today we're continuing the conversation around what actually helps your VA business grow.
In the last episode, we talked about why your business might not be growing right now, even if you're putting in the effort. And one of the things I touched on was the idea that a lot of VAs are busy… but not necessarily moving forward.
So to...
Today, we're talking about whether becoming a virtual assistant is actually the right fit for you.
If you are here listening it is probably because you are teying to figure outbwhether becoming a virtual assistant is the right decision for you.
Because the truth is, it's an incredible opportunity, but it's not for everyone. And my goal ...
In today's episode I want to talk about something that I know so many of you are experiencing right now.
You're putting in the effort. You've started your VA business, or maybe you've been at it for a little while, and you genuinely want this to work. You like the idea of having your own clients, making your own schedule, and building something that actually fits your ...
I'm Tracey D'Aviero, your Confidence Coach for Virtual Assistants, and today we're talking about a question I hear all the time:
"Where do I find good clients?"
Not just any clients. Not the draining ones. Not the $25-an-hour ones who question every invoice.
The best clients.

Today we're talking about how virtual assistants get the best, long-term, high-quality clients. And keep them.
Getting hired is one thing. Getting kept on long-term is another.
Because there are a lot of virtual assistants who can land a client. But far fewer who keep that client long term, grow the relationship, and become the VA the cli...
Here is our fourth and final episode in our four-part series on rates.
And of course, it is about how to raise yours if and when you need to … or want to!
Raising your rates does not require a dramatic announcement, a bold personality shift, or a confrontational conversation.
If you are stuck charg...
This is the third episode in my four part series on rates. Thanks for tuning in. If you haven't listened to the other two yet, make sure to jump back and do that!
Are you simply tolerating what you are earning as a virtual assistant?
Most VAs don't intentionally tolerate a low rate of pay. Most often they don't even realize they are und...
This is our second episode in our four part series about your rates.
Today, I want to talk about what clients really think about your rates, and why so many virtual assistants are worrying about the wrong things when it comes to pricing.
Most VAs tell themselves stories – maybe not out loud, but they are there, in the back of their...
