If you’re an online entrepreneur that works with service providers, team members, or an agency that delivers services, you should ALWAYS have a contract in place. A contract sets out the terms of your working relationship including the services to be delivered, the price, how payment should be delivered, and more.

It is essential to read your contracts carefully in order to fully understand what you can and can’t expect from your service provider and how they do business. When you sign the contract, you’re making a promise to the person that is delivering the service that you will honour what is in it.

Investing in your business can be scary, but instead of just thinking of it as a lot of time or money spent on your business, think of it as an investment in yourself. Investing in yourself is 100% necessary in growing both personally and in your business.

So often, entrepreneurs get nervous about unplugging and leaving their team to handle the day-to-day tasks, projects, and client communication. They fear that something will go south or something will not be able to move forward without them.

I’m here to tell you… that’s bullshit! If you trust your team and prepare them well, you can 100% enjoy your time away guilt-free. Check out these 5 tips for preparing your team while you’re on vacation.

Do you ever find yourself on the struggle bus trying to focus? This is one of the hardest parts of being an entrepreneur, especially in the virtual assistant space where you may be working with multiple clients and team members. When it feels like there are a million things to get done and not enough time, it’s important to take a moment to get re-centered and take it back to the basics with these 6 simple tips to get more shit done in your business.

As entrepreneurs, it can be easy to want to chase down the income and shiny objects that we see others achieving on social media.

However, if you only focus on the money, you will never succeed.

The truth is, no matter how much your clients pay you, you should treat each and every one of them the same.

Whether they pay you $500 a month or $5,000 a month, each client should be given the same level of attention and priority in your business.

Check out this list of a few things that are more important than making money in your business.

As an entrepreneur, you reach a point where winging it just doesn't cut it anymore.

In order to run a kick-ass, productive business and find success in every project, you need to be using a framework.

Entrepreneurs often think they have to have a shit ton of products and services in order to sell and hit their sales goals.

However, that can often lead to overwhelm and burnout trying to master ALL the things.

If you’re not hitting your sales goals right now, I guarantee you that the reason is not because you don’t have enough products or services.

In order to find success and hit your sales goals, you have to slow down and simplify.

Does the word “delegation” fill you with dread and send you into a sweaty-palmed, heart-racing spiral?

As entrepreneurs, letting go of control and allowing others to take the reigns doesn’t come easy to us.

Sometimes, it’s hard for us to recognize and admit we need support, let alone take the steps to actually put those supports in place.

By being able to allow others in to support us, we enable ourselves to take a step back and focus on the big picture.⁠

The way we talk to ourselves impacts everything we do in our business.

As entrepreneurs, we tend to be our own worst critic. It’s easy for us to question every damn thing we do, think, or don’t do in our business.

All of these negative thoughts and habits of questioning and doubting ourselves can be draining and detrimental to our business success.

Grind culture has become quite the norm over the past years in the entrepreneurial world.

It tells us to ignore our well-being in order to be more productive. The premise is to go, go, go until you can’t go anymore.

But I'm here to tell you… you are not a damn machine!⁠

Setting big goals is exciting, new, and gives you that adrenaline rush that we as entrepreneurs can’t seem to get enough of.

However, that’s not to say that working towards these lofty goals isn’t tough, because damn it sure can be.

Starting a new habit, adopting a new practice, or learning a new system in your business can be difficult. Working towards your epic goals can be downright overwhelming.

There’s no doubt that all great impacts start with small steps. ⁠

All world-changers started somewhere.

All successful businesses began with a single idea.

All self-made entrepreneurs took daily action to get to where they are today.

The first step in making these great impacts is famously known as “just start.” While that’s a critical step, it’s not enough to just get started.

Have you ever had one of those days where you sit down with your good friend Google and ask, “how do I become a booked-out virtual assistant?”

You know those moments.

The ones where you’re desperate for change, for something new. Those moments where you want to throw in the corporate towel and start living life on your own terms.

Becoming a virtual assistant is truly one of the best ways to scale your income, work your own flexible hours, and make a major impact.

I woke up after a sleepless night, holding what felt like the weight of the world on my shoulders. The struggles and tribulations of my clients. The stressors of running a business and managing a team. The expectation to know it all and always get it right the first time.

I think it’s safe to say that a lot of us have fallen into this concept that our worth is determined by our productivity. Or something like…The harder you work, the more money you will make. But being valuable or becoming a successful entrepreneur doesn’t mean you have to work 12+ hour days for months on end.

Mistakes. You can’t learn without them, can you? I am not only talking about the occasional tech glitch or when there’s a miscommunication with someone on your team. I’m also talking about when YOU make mistakes. When YOU drop the ball. And those kinds of mistakes just hit different, don’t they?
