34:31

I’m so excited to visit with Ellyse Colson today about building consistent income and a sustainable business without having to constantly be bringing in new clients.

When planning this season, I took a poll of the top 5 struggles y’all are having in your Virtual Assistant businesses, and I’ve saved the best for last! One of the most important things you have to think about as a business owner is the client experience. Every client goes through 3 phases: pre-client, current client, and renewal. It starts when th…

Using FOMO To Your Advantage 19:28

1y ago19:28

19:28

One of my favorite things to talk about is marketing & sales. Before I get into the techniques I use in my business and with my clients, first you need to be totally clear on who your ideal client is. If you need a refresher on how to really nail that down, I did a deep dive way back in Season 1 Episode 3: Finding Your Sweet Spot. A few of the top …

Pricing For Your Value with Jade Jemma 37:37

1y ago37:37

37:37

Today we’re going deeper into pricing with my guest Jade Jemma, former corporate sales strategist turned entrepreneur sales strategist and trainer. The big difference in shifting from working for herself instead of a corporate setting was the urge to discount her services because of a potential client’s money story. What she found was that if someo…

Pricing 101 22:40

1y ago22:40

22:40

I bet this sounds familiar. Back when I started my VA business, I decided to charge an hourly rate a little lower than the 9-5 job I had just left. Honest to God, my thought process was that I was greedy to charge more because I was so blessed to be able to work from home and save on daycare expenses. There were a few problems with that logic. It d…

Building Your Marketing Team with Amy Hager 27:29

1y ago27:29

27:29

As online business owners, there comes a time when we may want to hire some help for a facet of our business that is taking too much time and energy. The problem is that sometimes, business owners will hire people that are similar to themselves, which results in tension and disappointment. What needs to happen instead is to hire people that are str…

All Things Content 20:52

1+ y ago20:52

20:52

Why is it so important to create social content consistently? It really comes down to the KLT - the Know, Like & Trust factor with your audience. Content is the way that they can get to know you, who you are, what you do, what it’s like to work with you, and build trust with them to hopefully move them into being a client. That said, content creati…

The whole purpose of this podcast is to inspire women to do more and to be more, and to face the fear of being that rebel and doing something different from what your friends and family expect you to do. We are changing the generational wealth and we are changing our own stories to inspire our children and their children. In Season 4, we're gonna b…

Inside My Shell 21:56

1+ y ago21:56

21:56

In middle and high school, I was picked on mercilessly by my classmates. I had gotten a horrible haircut that made my already somewhat large nose much more obvious. They had awful nicknames for me, and I learned how to grow a thick skin. That served me well in the military, but it also inspired me to teach my kids to do better. Everything we do has…

Getting Out Of Your Own Way 21:17

Showing Up No Matter What 25:49

1+ y ago25:49

25:49

This season has been about resilience and fortitude, and doing what you need to do even when life throws you curve balls. So many women come to me having gone through a major upheaval like a breakup or divorce, or there’s been a family death, or they’re just tired of the mundane and have had an epiphany that they are done with the 9-5 grind. In thi…

Loss and Resilience 22:10

1+ y ago22:10

22:10

CONTENT NOTE: In this episode I will talk about loss, specifically miscarriage. It’s a difficult topic for sure, but the experience was a very important element to how I’ve gotten where I am today. I had never planned to get pregnant at 22. Looking back now, I was just a baby myself. Regardless, after that I had everything planned out. My then-husb…

Envisioning the Finish Line 21:38

1+ y ago21:38

21:38

A very common mistake I see in marketing and messaging is giving waaaaaaay too much information. People who are asking questions don’t need a wall of word vomit - that’ll get you ghosted. You don’t need to jam-pack your modules just to prove that you are a wealth of information because you will overwhelm them. Do your market research! Learn who you…

It Can Be Lonely at the Top 24:30

1+ y ago24:30

24:30

As you climb the ladder of success, and as you progress in the personal growth required to grow your business, people who don’t understand will fall away. That doesn’t mean that relationships will be imploding left and right, but as you release the people pleasing and get better with setting boundaries, it will become clear who your people are. As …

My First Haters 21:21

1+ y ago21:21

21:21

I grew up in a small town, which I love. However, in a small town, everyone knows everyone and their business. When I started sharing about my success with my business, some small town haters that I went to school with came out of the woodwork and really showed their true colors. Unfortunately, that included some people that I had been really close…

I Can Overcome Anything 23:29

In this episode I’ll look back at 17 year old Jade who joined the military, left home, got married at 18, then divorced by 20 and had to start over with absolutely nothing. At the time, I didn’t know what a disaster my first marriage would be. There were all types of abuse and when we divorced, I was left with no money, no home, no car, and very fe…

Bouncing Back From Rock Bottom 25:35

1+ y ago25:35

25:35

After I gave my marriage one more year and hired my VA coach, my business took off and I was able to finish with a 6 figure year. At the same time, I was in the process of leaving my husband and avoiding my depression by diving into work. I later signed up for Voxer access with a coach that had no idea where my business was and convinced me that bu…

The Real Reason Why I Hired a VA Coach 22:31

1+ y ago22:31

22:31

CONTENT NOTE: This episode includes detailed descriptions of domestic abuse and alcohol addiction. I invested in a VA coach to provide for my kids and myself, yes, but the real reason was a lot bigger than that. In this episode I’ll go into more detail about what I endured at the hands of my ex-husband, how I was finally able to leave, and how I ma…

Managing Boundaries With Clients 23:25

1+ y ago23:25

23:25

Something I struggled with a lot as a new VA was that I was addicted to people pleasing. Maybe that sounds familiar. I’m in recovery now and it’s better, but I had to learn some hard lessons to get there. Something I often see with my Rock Solid Academy clients is that the clients they land don’t really understand what to do with a VA and aren’t re…

How To Market Yourself 18:59

2y ago18:59

18:59

This is probably my favorite thing I do in my business. Get ready to take some notes! One thing I hear a lot is, “I’m a brand new virtual assistant. Who’s going to want to hire me?” The trick is that you have transferable skills from previous jobs and those count. Don’t say you’re a brand new VA - say you’ve been doing VA tasks for the last 10 or w…

Creating Content Your Clients Need 21:32

2y ago21:32

21:32

It’s not enough to just show up and post occasionally and expect ideal clients to fall into your lap. There are some myths around content creation that I’m going to bust today. The post itself isn’t going to do all the work for you. You will still need to put in the work, build that rapport, and get to know any leads that come in. You also need to …

What You're Doing Wrong (And Right) In DMs - Descript 19:10

2y ago19:10

19:10

I’m sure you know that a lot of selling goes down in the direct messages, so are you saying the right things to land clients? A lot of it comes down to the confidence piece. If you haven’t really nailed down what your offer is, who you help, and how you can help them, how can you hold a conversation with them? If you’re messaging some leads but the…

Money Mindset Isn’t Just Woo-woo 19:46

2y ago19:46

19:46

I know this is one of those topics that everybody in the entrepreneurial space is talking about and you may be rolling your eyes at it coming up again. But, it’s true and there’s scientific backing: if your mindset isn’t where it needs to be, you won’t get where you want to go. Period. First, I recommend some books about it if you’re ready to make …

Creating Your Offer With Confidence 21:38

2y ago21:38

21:38

Another thing I see a lot of business owners doing is overwhelming their audience. I spoke with a couple of different podcast producers to start my podcast and after a casual inquiry, one of them sent me a huge wall of text that overwhelmed me so much that I didn’t even read it. I ended up ghosting her… oops. Are you trying to prove yourself by sen…

You Don't Know What You Don't Know 22:38

2y ago22:38

22:38

The anniversary of the day I invested in my VA coach just popped up on my memories the other day and I wanted to share my feelings about that with you. I had struggled on my own for 18 months as a mom needing 2 full time incomes to make ends meet. I didn’t know what an ideal client was. I was emailing local small businesses, getting very few respon…

22:02

You’re in for a treat today! I’ll be talking with a dear friend and RSA graduate, Haley Benson. Haley is a mom of 3 very busy kids and going back to the 9-5 was not an option with the activity schedules. She had found a makeup company, but wanted to branch out into more online work, and she found Rock Solid Academy. Listen in as we chat about Haley…

Getting Your First Client 21:38

2y ago21:38

21:38

That’s the big question, right? Where can I find clients? What should onboarding look like? Don’t I need a fancy welcome packet? You’re probably overthinking it. Show up, and make connections. You need to actually reach out and talk to your ideal clients. Show up consistently for your business, and the people watching you will believe that you will…

Living For Yourself, Not For Others 24:15

2y ago24:15

24:15

When I was younger, I didn’t realize how much of my life I was living for other people. It wasn’t so much that I cared what others thought of me, but I wanted my parents to be proud and I wanted to fit in with my friends. Throughout my entire twenties, everything I did was to please the people around me. Life is a journey. Entrepreneurship is a jou…

What Are You Afraid Of? 22:09

2y ago22:09

22:09

I often hear about the fears that pop up when women want to start their virtual assistant business, or scale their existing business. What if I have an off month? What if I’m not able to provide for my family? What will my parents think? In this episode, we’re going to talk about why you’re afraid to do the things you need to do to be successful. H…

Shifting Into Success 22:07

2y ago22:07

22:07

Welcome to season 2! Before we dive in, grab a pen and paper. Write out every single reason why you think you won’t be successful as a virtual assistant. I’ve heard it all before. I wrote down the same things when I was getting started too. Those fears mess with your mindset, and your brain turns that into self-sabotage. Those thoughts are valid, b…

Building Your Own Balance with Jen Beam 32:01

In today’s episode, I welcome my co-coach Jen Beam to join me. Jen was part of my 2nd cohort of Rock Solid Academy and while she was working with me, she doubled her income. When it was time for me to hire a co-coach, there was no question that it needed to be Jen. Jen is a VA coach as well as a confidence and mindset coach, and she homeschools 4 o…

What Can I Do As A Virtual Assistant? 16:41

2y ago16:41

16:41

Well, how much time do you have to talk about this? Nowadays, there’s a coach, manager, or assistant for just about everything you can think of. Then there are subcategories inside of those. Your skillset you already have is needed in the online space. You don’t know what you don’t know. No matter what your background looks like, we can help you fi…

Today, I’m visiting with Raquel Acosta, graduate turned co-coach of Rock Solid Academy, about how we worked through the fear of investing and how she finally found her niche. Raquel found her stride and has some tips: In discovery calls, it’s less about the skillset and more about making sure that person vibes and you understand each other’s goals.…
