Don’t Get Frustrated – YOU CAN Build a Profitable VA Practice!
I spoke with a newer VA the other day, someone who has been trying to go full-time with her practice for almost two years. She recently purchased our book, Entrepreneurial Freedom, and asked me if I’d be willing to give her several coaching sessions to help motivate her to not give up. I could hear the frustration in her voice.
She got laid off about three months ago, so she’s trying her practice full-time now, while continuing to try and find a corporate job. For the past several years, she’s been taking low pay projects from places like eLance.com and working with VA teams who aren’t able to pay much more than $10-15 an hour.
She was really jazzed after having read the book, and was ready to really give it a go! Needless to say, we’ve started working together and things are going well.
I hear this all the time – people have tried for one, maybe two years and are getting frustrated because they can’t seem to move beyond sub-contractor, or low-pay project work that isn’t helping them to establish a solid and profitable business. They have one or two clients but can’t seem to find more. Or they’re brand new to the concept and just looking for a leg up in establishing a good business model.
There’s so much more to having a successful VA practice than just having great skills, you have to really work hardest on setting up and managing a small business. That’s not as easy. But, there is help!
I’ve owned and operated my own VA practice for almost eleven years. About two years into it, I was ready to throw in the towel and go back to corporate America. Luckily, a competitor I had done sub-contractor work for told me something incredible…she told me not to give up. She said that I did great work, had wonderful skills and that I really presented myself very professionally. And so I didn’t give up, I did whatever was necessary to become successful.
I’ve taken all those mistakes I made, and all those lessons learned, and with the use of my co-authored book, created a 10-week program to start and grow your OWN Virtual Assistance Practice.
The Business Essentials Teleclass for a Virtual Assistance Practice is getting geared up for their next 10-week program. Beginning June 25th, each 60-90 minute weekly session takes you step-by-step through the process of starting or growing your VA practice. Utilizing the wildly successful book, Entrepreneurial Freedom, and the companion workbook (included with your paid registration) you’ll get hands on support to formulate your ideas, plans and dreams.
But there’s MORE! Here’s what I promise you this WILL be! This is a hands-on, no pitch (there won’t be other people on the call trying to sell you ANYTHING), get ‘er done program. It’s going to be high-content with everything you need to get your business going and get out of your own way getting there.
This program is geared ONLY toward entrepreneurs and solopreneurs working together, laughing together and growing together. You will create amazing relationships and networking opportunities that will help you build your confidence and build a business where you can make more money and have more time off to enjoy it all. We also keep each other accountable for doing the work, and getting you moving outside your comfort zone.
The next 10-week program starts June 25th and will be completed August 27th. Find out more and register here: http://vabizcoach.com/starters.html. We have a limited number of people allowed per class to keep the sessions cozy and filled with the individual time you’ll want and need. So, don’t wait!
