The perils of working in isolation as a Virtual Assistant

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.

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?

VA Tips: Seeds & Placeholders

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..
