Ready to start a profitable va business? Help is here!

Starting a VA business is just like starting any other business. There are lots of different things you have to learn and get in place before you are ready to start working with clients. It really helps to have someone who is experienced to show you everything you need to get your business off to a great start.

Do any of these sound familiar?

I see lots of new VA's trying to bootstrap their businesses in the Facebook groups I belong to. I see the same questions over and over again - how to find clients and get them booked, how to set up contracts and payment systems, how to set boundaries with clients who are being difficult, how to get paid on time or at all. Should they work for free to get testimonials? How should they set their pricing? What services should they offer.

Do you have these same questions? I'm betting that you do. These are all important questions that I cover in my coaching sessions with new Virtual Assistants like you.

We will work together to help you set up your website and create your VA Packages and pricing so your ideal client is completely clear on your offer and can decide if they want to work with you.

We will talk about the tech systems needed to run your business. How to set up Discovery Calls with potential clients, how to communicate with existing clients, how to send out contracts and bill for your services. All_the_tech!

We’ll talk about the legal aspects of your business. What is needed in an effective contract, how to set up your bookkeeping and income tracking. What you can deduct on your taxes. How to handle client disputes.

What if you could...

Start a profitable VA business or improve your existing VA business. You could be ready to start booking clients in just a few weeks? Are you up for it??

I’ve run a successful VA business for nearly a decade. I’ve mostly worked as a Pinterest Manager, but I also do a variety other services for my clients – build WordPress websites, set up newsletters, help with SEO, and create graphics, etc.

I think it’s hilarious that I’m 62 and I’m running a tech business with my 74 year old sister! Yep, I’m OLD! Busting ALL the stereotypes. I actually LOVE all the tech stuff and I really enjoy coaching and motivating other women to build a profitable business.

I love having a successful business where I can set my own hours and determine my own income to support my family and I’d like every VA to have that same freedom. After nearly 30 years in the Corporate world as a Financial Analyst for Wells Fargo, it’s a been the best move of my life.

I have a lot of experience working with different clients, and have learned all the billing, accounting, and legal issues to run a successful business. I believe in providing exceptional customer service – that’s one of the major foundations of my business.

Introducing

VA Business Coaching

This program is designed for women who are ready for the freedom and adventure of running their OWN business. Having a boss sucks! Once you get all your systems in place, you can handle all the behind-the-scenes stuff like clockwork, to enable you can focus on your client work!

I will hold your hand through the whole start-up process, give you strategies to figure out your pricing and packages, and make sure you are legally protected from any iffy situations that might come up. And also give you some strategies for how to find your first clients and get started on your road to success.

Don’t be fooled – this is not a magic pill. Accountability is a big part of this process and it’s good practice for meeting your client’s expectations. It’s going to take a positive attitude and a good amount of hard work.

But if you could do it on your own, you’d have done it by now, right? It’s time to reach out for some help!

We will have a series of 4 Zoom calls - each focused on a different aspect of the VA journey. I have a variety of times when we can meet.
I will provide suggestions for your client contract and help you get your client welcome packet set up.
I have an awesome Trello system to share with you that I use to juggle all my clients and assistants. This is just one of the helpful tech tips I'll be able to share with you.

Ready to get Started?

You’re here because you want to get your business started. It’s hard to put together a new business all on your own. I’m here to be your cheerleader, kick you in the butt a little, and share the strategies that has created my successful business. Do you think that would help you?

This is for you if...

You're ready to start a terrific and profitable business and start booking some clients. Clients are everywhere you look and when you have clear offers and a professional and organized set-up, you'll be able to book them and start earning a solid income.
You've got some basic tech skills and some expertise. The product is your skills and experience, so you need to have a strong background in the skills you are offering to your clients. It helps if you have a heart for helping people and have good communication skills and a bit of patience.
You are excited to move forward and ready for some help. I'm a full-steam ahead person, so I hope you are ready to jump right in.

This is not for you if...

If you struggle with organization and self-discipline. Clients are counting on you to take the reins and complete tasks correctly and on-time. I believe a client should only have to ask ONCE for something to be done. If you need reminders and nagging, this might not be a good fit for you.
You aren't comfortable with putting yourself out there and doing the marketing. I wish clients would just show up in your living room, but that's not very likely. A big part of the job is constantly refreshing your list with new client prospects. Takes a little getting used to, but people do want help, so they are usually willing to meet you halfway.
You don't have the time to attend regular coaching calls or follow-up on the information I'll share with you. This takes a big investment of time and effort, just like any other business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I have a job? Or I have kids at home?

It’s difficult, but it’s still a possibility. I worked side businesses for many years when my kids were growing up and I was working full-time.

My schedule is pretty busy. When are you available for calls?

I’m generally available M-F from 1:00 – 9:00. You can look at my schedule on Calendly.com/helpfornewbloggers. I can add in some weekend times on request.

Do you offer refunds on unused sessions?

Part of the process is that we are both fully committed to your business. If you have an easy way out, it makes it more tempting to give up too early. If you are unhappy with my coaching, let me know and I will do my best to correct it, but I do not offer refunds on my services.

What if I'm on the fence?

I suggest you book a 15-minute discovery call with me. We can talk about your challenges and possible strategies to get your VA business started. Calendly.com/helpfornewbloggers/15min

How often do we need to schedule calls?

The scheduling is up to you, but I’d prefer weekly or bi-weekly calls to keep you moving forward. All sessions need to be used within a 1 year period or they will expire.

Do I need to have a website?

I strongly recommend it. Having a website, even a basic one shows potential clients that you are serious about your business and can be trusted. I can even help you build a simple website* as part of your coaching program.

* This service is not included in the coaching fee.

It's go time - are you in or out??

I’d love to help you, but it’s up to you. What do you think is going to be your best chance to help you start your business? Having someone to help with your specific challenges and hold you accountable for following through on the changes you need to make could make a huge difference.
