When was the last time you looked at who makes up

When was the last time you looked at who makes up your audience 👀 ??⁠
⁠
If you are a virtual assistant and your audience is made up of mostly all other virtual assistants - it may be time to look at your messaging 🚨⁠
⁠
Ask yourself : Who are you trying to sell to? ⁠
⁠
Don't get me wrong - I'm all for having a solid community! Community is so important - ESPECIALLY when you are just starting out. ⁠
⁠
Not to mention, VA - service providers - coaching community is an AMAZINGLY supportive community to be a part of. ⁠
⁠
However, if you are trying to use your social media platform to FIND and SELL to your clients - you have to be intentional when it comes to the type of content you are marketing. ⁠
⁠
For example : ⁠
⁠
1⃣ Make content based on your dream clients pain points. Share the solution to their problems. ⁠
⁠
2⃣ Share tips on THEY can grow THEIR audience. ⁠
⁠
3⃣ Speak to them : Call them out by name often so they know you're talking to them.⁠
⁠
4⃣ Use their language : Use the type of keywords they use so you can attract them in your content ⁠
⁠
It's all about making a community of your ideal clients. They will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know in order to market to them. ⁠
⁠
THIS is how you start converting your followers to CLIENTS🎉⁠
⁠
Which tip will you start using first?👇

Feel unmotivated? Uninspired or lost? ⁠ ⁠ I've

Feel unmotivated? Uninspired or lost? ⁠
⁠
I've been there too. Sometimes it comes in waves - sometimes it feels as though it never leaves. ⁠
⁠
This is the result of being out of alignment.⁠
⁠
Before : Feeling like I just couldn't get a handle on life. Things I felt important to me felt out of reach. Felt like I was constantly running out of time.⁠
⁠
Now : I feel like I've got a handle on what's important. Working less but receiving more. Flow of abundance and love for what I do.⁠
⁠
It's clear that by living aligned, we come out feeling more happy, fulfilled and alive! ⁠
⁠
Practice : ⁠
⁠
🌱 Identifying your core values⁠ : ⁠
⁠
The moment you realize what your core values are, making decisions and living your life aligned to what you value gets easier.⁠
⁠
Choose your top three (ie. family, your passion, health). These are your core values. These are the areas in your life, that above all – you need to make sure are being recognized and fulfilled.⁠
⁠
🌱 Learning how to say NO⁠ : ⁠
⁠
There will come times in your life that you will need to prioritize feeling better.⁠ ⁠
⁠
This could mean turning down a project, saying no to a free zoom meeting - whatever it may look like to you. ⁠
⁠
You cannot make a wrong decision if you are basing it on your values. ⁠
⁠
🌱Prioritizing and taking action : ⁠
⁠
At the end of the day, take your three values and decide on ways you can honour them every day/week/month. It’s important to take the time to make sure that these are being met. ⁠
⁠
Do something small every single day for YOU.⁠ 💖⁠
⁠
The truth is, living aligned takes practice, consistency, and inner reflection. It's important to listen to yourself and what you want. ⁠
⁠
⁠
At the top of your head, what are three core values that you have?👇

You did not leave your 9-5 for a job that didn’t

You did not leave your 9-5 for a job that didn’t allow you to have breaks. ❌⁠
⁠
Not taking your needed rest is a quick way to land yourself straight to miserableville. It’s the worst there - we don’t want that! ⁠
⁠
Instead, remember to listen to your mind, body and soul. ⁠
⁠
Feeling overwhelmed? Drained? Uninterested in your work?⁠
⁠
💖 Take a moment to step away from the screen. Move out of your work area. ⁠
⁠
💖 Do something that takes your mind off work completely like - listening to music. Watch a movie. Talk to a friend/family member on the phone. ⁠
⁠
💖 Give yourself a weekend. ⁠
⁠
💖 AUTOMATE! Automation should be your best friend as a service provider. Batch up your work and schedule it to come out on it’s own so that if you need a day off - you aren’t overly stressed.⁠
⁠
Remember, your mental health takes top top top priority. ⁠
⁠
When was the last time you took a rest day? 👇⁠
⁠
Drop what your FAVOURITE activity to do is when you’re relaxing? ⁠
⁠
My answer : Binge-watching Black Mirror or scrolling through Tik Tok 🙈⁠

Here are some of my FAVOURITE pricing myths DEBUNK

Here are some of my FAVOURITE pricing myths DEBUNKED (that aren’t talked about enough)...⁠
⁠
I know that when I entered the online business, I had all of these assumptions made about how things worked. As I grew more comfortable in the space, I realized that not everything was as it seemed!⁠
⁠
Here are some of the insights I learnt along the way : ⁠
⁠
❌ Myth # 1 : You need to price yourself low so you can get a whole bunch of clients right off the bat.⁠
⁠
✅ Truth : You’re right, you might end up signing a whole bunch of people - but you also might find yourself feeling overworked, undervalued, and you may have to work with people who don’t align with what you want to do which you DON’T have to do. ⁠
⁠
❌ Myth # 2 : You need a whole bunch of testimonials to prove how good you are! So, do a bunch of free stuff! ⁠
⁠
✅ Truth : Think of testimonials as the cherry on top. If someone resonates with you - they like your content and they are interested in what you have to offer, usually testimonials are in there to just sweeten the deal.⁠
⁠
Meaning, They are NOT a deal breaker if you don’t have them. People will still come to you even if you don’t yet have reviews. ⁠
⁠
Keep putting out that quality content and I promise you - clients will come and so will those testimonials!⁠
⁠
❌ Myth # 3 : I have to charge what everyone else is charging in my field.⁠
⁠
✅ Truth : No one else can define how much you should charge. Every single provider is different and has priced themselves accordingly to their own situation. It comes down to what you know your work is worth + How much you need to make. ⁠
⁠
⁠
You will come to find out a lot of things you thought were or weren’t true along your journey. ⁠
⁠
👇 I’m curious - what is a myth that you have come to realize now isn’t true? ⁠

When my journey first began, I tried to go as long

When my journey first began, I tried to go as long as I could without investing in a mentor.😅⁠
⁠
You know what happened? It took me way LONGER than It needed to for me to see results.⁠
⁠
Trial and error is one way - but it is not the only way. ⁠
⁠
Having someone who has done it that can guide you in the right direction helps in more ways than one!⁠
⁠
The game changes once you invest in yourself.⁠
⁠
It’s a sort of energy that surrounds you the moment you invest in bettering yourself.⁠
⁠
You make that first step out of your comfort zone and into a fresh new area full of possibilities and opportunities that you never knew existed!⁠
⁠
Keep learning, growing, and expanding your mind. ⁠
⁠
You will never regret investing in yourself. 🙌⁠
⁠
Have you ever invested in your business? Hired a mentor/coach/course or program? ⁠
⁠
How did it make you feel when you invested? How do you feel about it now?👇

Quickest way to lose a client as a Virtual Assista

Quickest way to lose a client as a Virtual Assistant 🚫👇⁠
⁠
Selling in the DMs can be nerve-racking enough. ⁠
⁠
Not having a strategy when chatting with a potential client can leave you getting ignored, ghosted or even worse - BLOCKED 😭⁠
⁠
I don’t want you to be scared when networking or finding your dream clients - so here’s a few tips that are SUPER helpful when diving in!⁠
⁠
☑️ Instead of going into a conversation with a mission to sell - go into a conversation with a mission to HELP. ⁠
⁠
☑️ Listen >>> Talking. You can give valuable advice and show your expertise when you truly listen to your clients problems or concerns. ⁠
⁠
☑️ Be genuine. No one wants to talk to a robot. People can smell a copy and pasted pitch from MILES away. No one wants that. People want to talk to people! ⁠
⁠
☑️ View your offer as a tool to help solve their problem. Match your offer with a solution that will help.⁠
⁠
Listening and asking the right questions to find out their issues really helps you show up for them how they need + it helps you decipher whether or not you are the right fit for each other! ⁠
⁠

⁠
Here’s a reminder for you whenever that pesky comparison monster comes knocking on your mindset door : ⁠
⁠
Your soulmate client wants to work with you because you bring something that no one else can bring to the table.⁠
⁠
Your unique gifts, your personality and your way of doing what you do is the sole reason why your dream client picks YOU over the next person. ⁠
⁠
There is an abundance of clients out there. There is no shortage. There is no scarcity. ⁠
⁠
There is enough for you. ⁠
⁠
Make yourself seen and they will come.⁠
⁠
You are SO valuable! 💖⁠
