In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm giving you the simple, 3-step roadmap to go from wanting to be a virtual assistant to having a thriving, booked-out business in the next 90 days! We have three months left in the year, and I want you to walk into 2026 with the confidence and income you've been dreaming of.
As a mom who was once knee-deep in motherhood and desperately wanting something of my own, I know how life-changing the virtual assistant industry can be. I'm sharing the exact steps I took to hit 5K in my first full month as a VA, and I'm breaking it all down so you can do it too.
Here’s what I cover in this episode:
-
The #1 thing that holds aspiring virtual assistants back (hint: it's overthinking and perfectionism!).
-
The crucial mindset shift of claiming "I am a virtual assistant" before you see the results.
-
My 3-Phase, 90-Day Roadmap to get your VA business off the ground and booked with clients.

Phase 1: The Foundation. What you need to build today to start getting clients tomorrow.
-
Phase 2: Launch & Network. How to get into messy action, have conversations, and open doors for your VA business.
-
Phase 3: Optimize & Scale. The secrets to embodying your next level and building a 10K/month business from day one.
-
-
Why you need to build for scale, even as a brand new VA, to create true freedom.
-
How to get scrappy, gain experience, and find the clarity you need to specialize.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
