For years, we have been talking about how Virtual Assistants here in Australia are different from our cheaper offshore counterparts. But how do you decide which options will suit you best? Here's the key points you need to consider to make the best choice for your business.
Hey there virtual assistant/freelancer, I see you. You’re the person who dreams big and works hard. You pick projects aligned to your passion and purpose. You have a sense of adventure, which you need to sustain the ups and downs of the small business ownership rollercoaster. There are SO many benefits to working on your own terms as a business owner, in your own home or office. Finding the balance and passion in what you do and who you serve, and escaping office politics, to name a few.
While I’ve been shouting up and down the street within the Aussie VA groups recently about how frustrating it is to see new VAs pricing themselves at the same rates (and sometimes even lower) than I was charging as a new VA almost 2 decades ago, it’s come to my attention that many Aussie business owners don’t realise that this is happening in the VA industry and that it’s a huge problem.
Why Aussie VAs are afraid to charge their worth and how this is detrimental to the VA Industry I realise that by saying Virtual Assistants are afraid, I’ve probably already pissed off a few people already. Calm down, it’s ok - some of you are smashing it and pricing beautifully and totally know your worth. [...]
The age-old issue of the title ‘Virtual Assistant’ and what it actually means, seems to have never been resolved, is continually tripping people up and causing confusing in the market. Over the last 5-10 years I’ve been trying to convince everyone that the term ‘Virtual Assistant’ should refer to the collective of business owners providing B2B services, remotely. The industry title. So what's the problem?
Even if you do some super awesome VA startup training (like the Stellar VA Training for example) you will never come out the other end with a business that is 100% ready to go, clear on the perfect ideal client, the right pricing, the right branding, with no more learning required. What you SHOULD have is placeholders and seeds. Let's explore that further..
