How to start a successful and profitable business as a Virtual Assistant

The intention of this Blog is to educate my potential and existing clients on how to create the life they want while they are here on earth (because it is possible).

We have a group of people we are looking at.(niche)

We are looking at those individuals who are interested in becoming Virtual Assistants, or you are running a Virtual Assistant business and wants to grow it into a profitable and successful business.

I’m talking to professional women, or working from home moms, who wants to start but don’t know where to start. Maybe you want a side gig/biz, this is also for you. This business is an online business. Because you are running your own business, you don’t have to be working from the client’s offices, but you’ll work mostly online.

Most people think that Virtual Assistants or what is commonly known as VAs, are PAs. Virtual Assistants are Independent Contractors offering their skills to help a company. They manage their own time, and they are their own bosses. They negotiate the terms of their contracts, and they decide when they will be doing the work.

Of course, there are people who look for VA jobs, but in this case, we help you create a VA business. The difference here is that You don’t get to be employed as a VA, but your company gets hours of work in a company/business to assist with VA work.

When you choose to work with us, (because it is a choice. Everything is a choice in life. The life we live currently is because of the choices we made during this journey we call life)

Okay back to the brief:

When you choose to work with us, we will start first by helping you:

  1. Clarifying your Vision

You must know the type of business you want to create, and your intentions about this business. Only you can decide that. This is the main stage as it is important to know where you are in life, and where you want to go with your life. Especially if you want something great in your life. Obviously, this is not for everybody. Some people wake up in the morning, and they don’t care about what’s going to happen next. They are just comfortable with the life they live. If you are that person, this might not be for you.

Next Step:

  1. Strategize your Actions

This is about identifying what you need to do, for you to achieve your goals. You’ll obviously set goals that’ll guide you on what to focus on. You then have to identify actions to take to help you achieve these goals. We normally help our clients set yearly, quarterly, monthly, and weekly goals. We then help you identify monthly, weekly, and daily Actions to take to achieve these goals. That way we can track performance easily. Next Step:

  1. Upgrade your Skills

You know your vision, you’ve set up goals, but the question is “do you have skills to achieve your goals?” Sometimes we aspire for things that we don’t know much about. There’s nothing wrong with that because it’s part of growing up. It is then necessary to identify the list of skills needed by each goal and come up with a skill gap. Once we have identified the skill gap for our clients, we encourage them to attend trainings (formal or informal, depending on client’s preferences), workshops, conferences, or watch videos to develop those skills. There’s also an Exercise that we give to our clients to help them identify their skills gap. Next Step:

  1. Optimize your environment

Your environment must be supportive of the goals you want to achieve. For example, as a Virtual Assistant, because you will be working from home, is your home conducive for work without disturbances, e.g., a home office? Are you able to make calls without background noise? We help our clients to identify destructions that might affect their performance, and eliminate them. And finally, we look at:

  1. Mastering Your psychology

Mastering your psychology is all about creating a mindset for success. This is a very key step, as it is about you as a person. You are going to start looking at things in alignment with what we want. Success of a business does not only depend on the best strategies or marketing plan of the business, but there are intangible issues to look at. You need to program your mind to focus on other things other than what you touch, see, smell, hear and taste. In other words, there are important things that needs to be looked at that are intangible, and that normally control our behaviors.  We expose our clients to different tools that help them to develop a mindset for success. There are also exercises that we encourage them to do for the period of our programmes, to help them perform easily.

This is the Structure of our Programmes.

There’s a lot that we cover in our programmes to make sure that our clients benefit from our offerings.

The idea with the work that we do is to assist our clients to create a life that they’ve always dreamt of. The solution is always within the client, all we do is to unravel that solution, offer a helping hand, and to guide.
