In this episode, I'm breaking down the big question: Are there too many virtual assistants out there? Oddly enough I'm using a bread aisle analogy to share why the VA world is far from oversaturated. From niche services to the expanding demand in various industries, there is vast opportunity rather than competition. So, if you've been hesitant about starting a virtual assisting business or side hustle, I'm telling you, now is the perfect time to jump in.

One of the most common questions for moms starting their Virtual Assisting business or side hustle is "How do I get my first clients?" In this episode, I'm sharing how I got my first three virtual assisting clients. I actually used a different method to find and sign each of my first three clients. You don't have to have a massive marketing plan in the beginning. When you are starting, you can be scrappy and find the ways that work for you and can and branch out later.

Today's episode explores the idea that, in the early stages, a website might not be necessary for your VA side hustle. You can leverage social media for initial exposure, use email marketing platforms for building an email list, and tools like Tidy Cal and Stripe for managing online scheduling and payments. For a website-like experience, you can create visually appealing landing pages using Canva, all while keeping initial expenses and stress to a minimum.

Multitasking is out, single tasking is in!
Multitasking can cause mistakes and oversights in your work. When you focus instead on just a single task at a time, you are able to give it undivided attention in order to avoid mistakes.
When you are single tasking, or just focusing on this single task, you can get in the zone and fully immersed in that task that you're working on. You are able to work at a faster pace with fewer interruptions.
Single tasking can actually help your brain structure, boost your ability to focus, and help with mood and emotional regulation. Single tasking can help you be more efficient when you work, improve the quality of your work, and decrease stress while improving focus and increasing creativity.

In this episode I'm sharing about how it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you need to have every single possible process created, and every system all dialed in, before you start your online business. What you might not know is that sometimes this over-preparedness can be a way to cope with the fear of actually starting your business. The truth is: productivity strategies should aid your progress overall, not hinder it.

In today's episode I'm talking about the popular notion that you cannot improve what you don't start. This is important advice and encouragement for moms who are starting their own online businesses. It is very important to taking action and starting small, rather than being held back by fear or a sense of being unprepared.
In addition, if you do not start your business, you will not be making money from your business. The longer you take to start your business, the longer you will take to start making a business income, so I am sharing the 7 things you absolutely do need to start your Virtual Assisting Business (and no you don't need a website).

In today's episode, I share about the wide variety of services that can be offered as a Virtual Assistant (VA). Being a VA simply means providing an online or virtual service to another business or individual.
To help you determine what type of VA business you can build, I am taking you through a brainstorming exercise to dive into your background, passion and what you are already good at.
I'm also going to break down some potential types of virtual assistant business ideas, including general administrative support, graphic design services, social media management, individual services such as photo organization, and software expertise.
