Mistakes VAs Make - Avoiding Networking

The Ridiculously Good Virtual Assistant Show

Let’s talk about a mistake that I see far too many virtual assistants making. It’s one that can significantly slow down your business growth and keep you stuck working with the wrong clients, or even no clients at all. That mistake is: avoiding networking.

A lot of VAs underestimate the value of building relationships and connecting with others, both peers and potential clients, because they think that networking is just about sales, or that it’s only necessary if they’re “desperate” for clients.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about why avoiding networking is such a huge mistake, what happens when you rely solely on passive marketing, and how to shift your mindset around connecting with people so that networking becomes something you actually enjoy as part of your regular business routine.

I’ll also share some of the most common myths about networking that I see holding VAs back. And of course, I’ll plant the seed for how you can work with me if this is an area you want to get better at.

Ask yourself this: where do I need to show up more? Who can I reconnect with this week? What small networking habit can I build into my routine?

If you need ideas or want some support making networking feel natural and easy, I’d love to help. Come find me on social at https://YourVAMentor.com/links, or better yet, jump into one of my live trainings where we can work on this together. I’m here to help.

It’s the only reason I’m here at all is to help you become a ridiculously good virtual assistant.

Because you never know where your next client - or your next GREAT client - might come from.

That’s all I’ve got for you this week. I’m Tracey D’Aviero the Confidence Coach for VAs – and I’ll see you next time!
