When you start working as a virtual assistant sometimes it is hard to know where to find the right clients and what you can do to get noticed. One great source to do this is Facebook groups. There are Facebook groups where your clients are hanging out, you just need to find them and connect with them. In this episode, I’ll show you how you can show up as yourself and know what to say in these groups to get noticed without being too spammy, desperate, or annoying. Let me be your motivator today to get active in Facebook groups, even though it might seem like some of them are not working. There's also a lot of Facebook groups that are working right now, the ones where people are coming together to purposefully hire each other. I think those Facebook groups are the biggest ones to go in.  I do share a list of Facebook groups with my students to help them get started. And then what's nice is we can go tag each other in some of these because we know which ones are working. So if you're interested, the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School will open again in October. Links I mentioned: Quiz: What kind of VA should you be?

It’s hard to know what services to start offering in your new business … or even where to niche down when you’ve got it going. Especially when the online space is distracting with what everyone else is doing. Strengths Coach Anna Nelson and I agree that you need to lean into your own uniqueness first. Being aware of your own God-given talents and strengths is the start line. Through 1:1 coaching and team workshops, Anna helps online entrepreneurs scale their business by looking inward first and outward second. She uses the Gallup CliftonStrengths Assessment to gain research-based data on her clients’ 34 strengths and weaknesses. In this episode, she’ll explain why this is a must for every entrepreneur plus how to apply this knowledge in your business, your services, long-term plan … and in your client relationships. There is so much power when you have self-awareness, ability and (backing) to express it, and confidence to show up in discovery calls armed with why you will be the next stand-out hire. Enjoy!

This week we’re talking money with Chelsea Brennan of Smart Money Mamas.  Giving up a lucrative career as a hedge fund manager, Chelsea pursued a passion project after realizing many women were naive about finances, especially long term goals and strategies. That’s why Chelsea started Smart Money Mamas, to help women feel confident about dealing with their family’s finances.  As Chelsea explains, “Having some sense of what’s happening with your finances, where your money is going, what your credit score is, offers that mental sense of security so you can do more.” Today, Chelsea is going to discuss our business owner money mindset. As freelancers, we have to understand our business finances in order to create plans for success, but more importantly, we must recognize our money beliefs - what’s propelling us forward and what’s holding us back.  Changing old money habits and creating new ones isn’t as easy as saying a new mantra. You first have to dig a little deeper and find out why you are holding on to this old belief.  Chelsea has several great tips and techniques to help you achieve this and how to start new habits around money. I picked up some great information and think you will too.    Enjoy!   Connect with CHELSEA: Instagram: @smartmoneymamas Facebook:@smartmoneymamas Grab her free Meaningful Money Guide >> https://smartmoneymamas.com/meaningful-money-goal-worksheet/ (this is what I call her SOP for Life).    Connect with Emily: Facebook Community: Emily’s Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant Lab Instagram: @emilyreaganpr  Facebook: @emilyreaganpr   3 ways we can work together:  Get on the waitlist for the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School.  My signature course on digital marketing implementation will give you the confidence and teach you HOW to do the work that’s in demand and highly marketable.

What is it really like to work as a virtual executive assistant? Kiri Mohan shares her startup story, how she pivoted into EA-VA work, where she found her first clients, and what her service packages look like. If you have administrative experience, this episode is totally for you! I love this niche because she serves high-level executives and offers various levels of support that fit her lifestyle too. Kiri began working as an assistant when she was 15 years old, gradually shifting to a corporate executive assistant, and finally running her own successful virtual assistant company. Clients would often reach out in need of VA services and after a while, Kiri was able to figure out which client actually needed a VA and which ones only thought they needed a VA.  It turns out, quite a few of her clients just needed an organized flow to the administrative side of their business. Source Your Systems began as a side business, helping those that needed to set up and implement the operational part of their dream, and then became something so much larger.  I hope you enjoy!   Connect with Kiri: Instagram: @virtuallykiri https://www.dependableva.com/ https://sourceyoursystems.com    Connect with Emily: Facebook Community: Emily’s Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant Lab Instagram: @emilyreaganpr  Facebook: @emilyreaganpr   3 ways we can work together:  Get on the waitlist for the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School.  My signature course on digital marketing implementation will give you the confidence and teach you HOW to do the work that’s in demand and highly marketable.
