When you’re running a business, there are a lot of moving parts. There are a lot of tasks to manage, communications with clients and team members to be had, and notes to keep track of.

Without systems and processes in place, shit is going to hit the fan.

Minimize the disruption and arrive at the solution more efficiently with these 4 systems for business success.

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.

No matter what type of VA you are or what niche of clients you work with, having a kick-ass onboarding process is essential to building a strong customer relationship and getting yourself and your new client set up for success.

The key to setting up a positive working relationship from the get-go is to nail your onboarding process and make it seamless.

Plus, it’ll save you a ton of time and stress knowing your system is rock-solid and easy to execute.

A kick-ass onboarding system can even help you land more clients.

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!⁠

How many times have you felt the pressure to say yes to everything?

That new opportunity that seems too good to be true, yet something in your heart is telling you it’s not right?

That client who seems to always push boundaries and ask for urgent help outside of your working hours?

That last minute trip your girlfriends invited you to, yet all you want to do is spend the weekend curled up on the couch with your family and pup?

So often, entrepreneurs feel like they have to say yes to everything in order to not let others down and to avoid being seen as “lazy” or a “failure.”

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.

Imagine this…

You're drinking mimosas at brunch on Thursday and decide to take Monday off because your girlfriend decided to stay in town another night. ⁠

⁠You're no longer staying at the office late to finish the tasks you absolutely despise.

You actually have the time to spend with your kids that you’ve craved for so long.

You have a thriving online business that you love (and that loves you back).

It sounds like a dream, right?!

Honestly, your dream life is not that far out of reach.

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.

Don’t you love the feeling of a brand new year?

A new start. A new mindset. A new opportunity to make this year exactly what you want it to be.

No matter what your goals for your business are this year, it is so important to reflect and start the year with a clear vision and fresh organization.

Truth bomb: The holidays aren’t meant for hustle.

For so many people, this is the busiest time of the year.

Between year-end business tasks, reflections, planning for the new year, wrapping gifts, holiday parties, and trying to be present with the people you love most, it can feel like you’re on a constant hamster hustle wheel.

I’m going to come right out of the gate and tell you one of my biggest pet peeves.

I see it a lot in business, and every single time, it makes me want to shake my wine glass and scream “YOU are worthy!”

That pet peeve? When people discount their best-selling tool – themselves.

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?

Building a business is pretty terrifying on its own. But when you add having to actually show up for it, it makes it seem pretty impossible, doesn’t it? So what do you do? You’ve checked off the boxes. You’ve created a website, signed up for your email marketing platform, made a string of posts that don’t perform, and you are left questioning what you’re doing wrong.
