Today's Quote: “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” - Peter Drucker If you’ve ever wondered where to start with marketing or how to connect with the right clients, this episode is for you. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to figure out what’s working and what’s not when it comes to marketing. I’ve been where you are. I’ve cruised job boards, classified ads, I’ve sent direct mail, I’ve done cold calls, I’ve spent hours on social media trying to network. I’ve written thousands of pieces of content to market my business. When you are just looking for any old client, you can run yourself ragged doing all the things. But if you seek out only high quality clients, then it becomes so much easier - you get clarity, you get confidence, and you get clients. So, let’s break this down step by step and help you build a marketing strategy that fits your skills and attracts the clients you truly want to work with. So, let’s circle back to today’s quote: The best way to predict the future is to create it. - Peter Drucker Are you creating your future? You can, you know. It just takes some planning, some confidence, some focus - and action. Nothing happens until you take action. Now, here’s your action step for today: Take 10 minutes to write down a description of your ideal client. Then, look at your current marketing efforts and ask yourself - are you speaking directly to that type of client? If not, what can you tweak? If you want more support in building a client-attracting strategy that really works, reach out to me on social media for a chat . I’m on every platform, so just find me where you are and let’s talk about it. I’m here to help - it’s the only reason I’m here at all, to help you become a ridiculously good virtual assistant.

By taking small, intentional steps every month, you’ll see incredible progress in your skills, confidence, and business success.

Too many virtual assistants struggle with marketing because they feel like they have to present themselves in a certain way - like they have to be polished, super-professional, or more like someone else in their industry. But really, your best marketing strategy is authenticity. When you show up as yourself, you attract the right clients - the ones who actually align with your values and work style. In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about why authenticity matters, how to apply it to your marketing, and how being yourself can actually make marketing and attracting your best clients easier. I’ll also give you some tips to take action on right away to help you market your business in a way that feels natural and comfortable. Being yourself in your marketing isn’t just about making things easier for you. It’s about building a business that feels aligned and attracts the right people. The clients who appreciate you, respect you, and want to work with you specifically. So, what’s one way you can start showing up more authentically in your business today? Send me a message or comment—I’d love to hear from you! And if you are ready to get help with your VA business, definitely email me or DM me. I’m here to help. It’s the only reason I’m here at all - to help you become a ridiculously good VA. And I wanted to leave you with a remind of today’s quote: Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken. You are unique and you are amazing. There are clients out there that you are a perfect fit for - there are clients who really value you and need you. Go find them. Thanks for joining me today. I'm Tracey D'Aviero, The Confidence Coach for VAs - I'll see you next time!…
Today let’s talk about something that is crucial for your success as a virtual assistant, your mindset. If you want to attract the best clients, the ones who respect you, value your work, and pay you well, then it all starts with what is going on in your head. If you have ever struggled with setting your rates, dealing with imposter syndrome, or feeling like you have to take on any client who comes your way, this episode is for you. I am going to walk you through the mindset shifts that will help you stop settling for just any clients and start bringing in the right ones. Get your mindset where it needs to be. (hint hint, think you CAN!) If you want to attract the best virtual assistant clients, you need to: Think like a business owner, not an employee. Believe you deserve to be paid well. Set and enforce boundaries. Show up with confidence. Be selective about who you work with. Now, here is my challenge for you. Take a few minutes today to reflect on where your mindset might be holding you back. Are you undervaluing yourself? Are you working with clients who do not respect your time? Are you hesitating to raise your rates? Pick one mindset shift to work on this week and take action. Don’t settle for any old client. Go find your best clients! And if you need support in building your confidence and finding the right clients, I would love to help. I am here for one reason only, to help you become a ridiculously good VA. Send me an email or DM me on social media to chat about what you are struggling with, and talk about what your next step needs to be to move forward. Thanks for being here with me this week. I’ll see you next time!…
Networking isn’t just about talking and pitching yourself. It’s about making meaningful connections, and one of the best ways to do that is by being a great listener. In this episode, we’ll talk about why active listening is such a powerful tool for virtual assistants, how to develop it, and how to use it to build stronger business relationships. Today’s quote: When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen. - Ernest Hemingway Hemingway is right - listen to the next conversations that happen around you. Listen to how people talk, how the people they are talking to listen (or don’t). Watch what people type in social media comments. It’s alarming to see how when someone says they are looking for VA help for instance, and they say to email them, that some VAs say ‘DM’d you'. They aren’t listening. Or when someone says on Threads I’m so excited, I’ve decided to hire a VA this year, and then their comments and DMs are filled with pitches. That’s not the response to that conversation starter (all social media posts are conversation starters, did I say that?) Now, I’d love to hear from you! Have you ever had a networking experience where active listening made a big difference? Share your thoughts with me on social media or in my VA community—I’d love to continue the conversation.

I am here to help - it’s what I always tell you, it’s the only reason I’m here at all - to help you become a ridiculously good virtual assistant.

Not all social media platforms are created equal, especially when it comes to marketing your VA services. Choosing the right platform isn’t just about where you like to spend time—it’s about where your ideal clients are spending their time. If you’re putting all your effort into a platform where your audience isn’t active, you’re working harder than you need to. Before we get into specifics, consider these key questions: Who is your ideal client? Where do they hang out online? What type of content are you comfortable creating consistently? Your answers to these questions will help determine which platform makes the most sense for you. The best social media platform for your VA business isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer—it’s the one where your ideal clients are most active and where you can show up consistently. Focus on cultivating relationships, not on promoting your VA business . So, I challenge you this week to do a little research. Look at where your past or ideal clients are spending their time online, and decide which platform you want to focus on moving forward. When you focus on the relationships you are going to go much farther, much faster. It’s about the people. You don’t need hundreds of connections to get one client, or 10 clients. You need just enough. Think quality over quantity, every time when marketing your VA business. I’d love to hear your thoughts! Which platform has worked best for you? Connect with me on Threads or Instagram, or drop a comment in our Facebook VA community: The Virtual Assistant Lounge And if you’re looking for more personalized guidance on growing your VA business, be sure to check out The VIrtual Circle . We are currently on winter hiatus but we pick up the group again in March and I’d love to have you join us. It’s the only reason I do this, folks, is to help you become a ridiculously good virtual assistant. I’ll see you next week!…

One of the biggest mistakes I see VAs make is trying to do everything at once. Social media posts, cold emails, joining every networking group, tweaking their website… sound familiar? You’re not alone - I do the same thing! While those are all great strategies in the long term, they can dilute your energy and results when you’re looking for a VA client quickly. The key is choosing one strategy and going all in. Why? Because focus brings clarity, and clarity brings results. By narrowing your efforts, you can: Give your strategy the attention it deserves. Track your results effectively. Avoid feeling overwhelmed. So, what strategy should you choose? That’s up to you and your strengths, but I’ll guide you through an example here to help you decide and take action. I hope this framework gives you the focus and confidence to find your next client. Remember, it’s all about taking consistent, intentional action. You’ve got this! You CAN get a client in a week. When it’s your main focus and you do the right things, it’s easier than you think. If you want to get really focused and move your VA business forward in just a week, you should join me for my 5 Day challenge From Consults to Clients that starts next week!

In today’s episode, we’re tackling three crucial areas that can make or break your success as a VA: mastering boundaries, confidently setting and increasing your rates, and fostering strong, healthy client relationships. These are skills that require courage, clarity, and a whole lot of practice. Confidence is the foundation of every successful VA business. It impacts everything you do—from saying "no" to an unreasonable client request to quoting your rates without hesitating or negotiating. When you show up confidently, people trust you, value your work, and respect your time. But here’s the thing: confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build. Every time you stand firm on a boundary, communicate your worth, or handle a tricky client situation with grace, you’re building confidence. Confidence isn’t something that happens overnight, but with each boundary you set, rate you own, and client relationship you nurture, you’ll see it grow. Remember, you’re not just a virtual assistant—you’re a business owner, a professional, and someone who deserves to be respected and valued. If you need help mastering your boundaries, your rates, and your client relationships, I can help. I am here to help you become a ridiculously good VA. I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving through private coaching, my monthly mastermind group, my group coaching program and my self study trainings.

I’m so glad you’re here today because we’re diving into a topic that’s close to my heart and one I think we all struggle with from time to time: how to tackle those big, overwhelming tasks that make us feel like we’ll never get ahead. You know the ones I mean—whether it’s launching a new service in your VA business, planning a big client project, or even something personal like organizing your home office. Those giant tasks can feel so intimidating that sometimes we don’t even know where to start. But here’s the good news: breaking large tasks into smaller, manageable pieces is a game-changer. It’s not just about making the work easier; it’s about boosting your clarity, motivation, time management, and even your problem-solving skills. Today, we’re going to explore exactly why this strategy works so well and how you can apply it in your business and life. I’ll share practical tips, leave room for you to reflect on how this can fit into your world, and give you action steps to implement right away. You have to take the first step to your success.

Time management needs to be mastered, and it takes time to do that - but you can start by breaking down your tasks into smaller pieces. I can teach you to do that.

Today we are talking about social media, and I already feel tired just saying that. How about you?? I know how overwhelming social media can be - we put so much effort into and it and we don’t see the results. Social media is a very important part of your online presence. We work virtually and so a lot of our clients need to build trust before they will work with us. You have to get really clear on what you are trying to use your social media for - often it’s getting clients, but think about the overarching strategy that you are trying to put into place. Yes, you need visibility. You want to build your authority and showcase your expertise. You want to grow your audience, You want to get clients. Doing each of these things requires a slightly different strategy. That's what we are talking about it today's episode. If you need help taking a step forward, that’s where I can help. I am here to help you become a ridiculously good VA. I am hosting a full day content creation workshop for VAs on Dec 6 and we are going to help VAs just like you create their content strategy - and it doesn’t mean posting 10x a day to Tiktok or making 5 Instagram reels. It is about doing what works for you and making it cohesive and more effective. 'That starts with knowing who your target market is - your ideal client - and what kind of content the find helpful or interesting or inspiring.

Today, we’re diving into two of the most important aspects of running your VA business: setting your rates with confidence and finding the clients who value your expertise. It’s important to understand how to price your services, and also how to attract quality clients. I do lots of trainings on these two things regularly, but it’s an important message to keep on sharing so today we will talk about how the two fit together! Have you heard my story about how I doubled my rates overnight and then booked out my VA business? The two things really can go hand in hand. When you make a bold move like increasing your rates higher than your current clients are paying, and you start connecting with more of your ideal clients, you can blow the lid off your business easily.
