In today’s episode, we’re tackling three crucial areas that can make or break your success as a VA: mastering boundaries, confidently setting and increasing your rates, and fostering strong, healthy client relationships. These are skills that require courage, clarity, and a whole lot of practice.
Confidence is the foundation of every successful VA business. It impacts everything you do—from saying "no" to an unreasonable client request to quoting your rates without hesitating or negotiating. When you show up confidently, people trust you, value your work, and respect your time.
But here’s the thing: confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build. Every time you stand firm on a boundary, communicate your worth, or handle a tricky client situation with grace, you’re building confidence.
Confidence isn’t something that happens overnight, but with each boundary you set, rate you own, and client relationship you nurture, you’ll see it grow. Remember, you’re not just a virtual assistant—you’re a business owner, a professional, and someone who deserves to be respected and valued.
If you need help mastering your boundaries, your rates, and your client relationships, I can help. I am here to help you become a ridiculously good VA.
I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving through private coaching, my monthly mastermind group, my group coaching program and my self study trainings. If you are ready to get my help, let’s connect on a Cut to the Chase call.

As the new year approaches, it’s time to reflect, plan, and gear up for an incredible year ahead. Hopefully it will even be your best year yet!
Today, we’ll talk about setting clear goals, streamlining your systems, and building the confidence you need to elevate your VA business.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have actionable steps to take and the motivation to get started.
Get ready to take some notes, and don’t forget to share this episode with a fellow VA who could use a little extra inspiration for the new year!
Efficiently implementing the actions it takes to run your amazing VA business means planning - and all that means is knowing what you need to be doing and when - and why your are doing it. What leads into it and what happens next.
When you are really focused on success, these things are important and necessary. Clarity will show you the path and you will be able to walk it easily and efficiently.
I hope you’re feeling inspired and ready to take action. If you need extra support, check out my monthly mastermind group for Virtual Assistants - The Virtual Circle - or book a call with me to talk about how I can help you grow your VA business.
I’m going to leave it here for this week, but I do hope to hear from you. I’d love to have you in the mastermind group - success will follow!
I’m Tracey DAviero, Confidence Coach for VAs and I’ll see you next time!

I’m so glad you’re here today because we’re diving into a topic that’s close to my heart and one I think we all struggle with from time to time: how to tackle those big, overwhelming tasks that make us feel like we’ll never get ahead.
You know the ones I mean—whether it’s launching a new service in your VA business, planning a big client project, or even something personal like organizing your home office. Those giant tasks can feel so intimidating that sometimes we don’t even know where to start.
But here’s the good news: breaking large tasks into smaller, manageable pieces is a game-changer. It’s not just about making the work easier; it’s about boosting your clarity, motivation, time management, and even your problem-solving skills.
Today, we’re going to explore exactly why this strategy works so well and how you can apply it in your business and life. I’ll share practical tips, leave room for you to reflect on how this can fit into your world, and give you action steps to implement right away.
You have to take the first step to your success. I can help! It’s the only reason I’m here at all, as you know. To help you become a ridiculously good VA.
I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving. I'd love to do the same for you.
We can work together privately, through group coaching, or private and self study trainings.
If every morning you hit the ground running, or take a huge breath in to figure out what the heck to start with - and you keep pushing stuff off to the next day, it’s time to get your big stuff under control.
Time management needs to be mastered, and it takes time to do that - but you can start by breaking down your tasks into smaller pieces. I can teach you to do that. Book your Cut to the Chase call with me today to talk about how I can help at YourVAMentor.com/chase.
Thanks for tuning in this week! I’ll see you next time!

Today we are talking about social media, and I already feel tired just saying that.
How about you??
I know how overwhelming social media can be - we put so much effort into and it and we don’t see the results.
Social media is a very important part of your online presence.
We work virtually and so a lot of our clients need to build trust before they will work with us.
You have to get really clear on what you are trying to use your social media for - often it’s getting clients, but think about the overarching strategy that you are trying to put into place.
Yes, you need visibility. You want to build your authority and showcase your expertise. You want to grow your audience, You want to get clients.
Doing each of these things requires a slightly different strategy.
That's what we are talking about it today's episode.
If you need help taking a step forward, that’s where I can help. I am here to help you become a ridiculously good VA.
I am hosting a full day content creation workshop for VAs on Dec 6 and we are going to help VAs just like you create their content strategy - and it doesn’t mean posting 10x a day to Tiktok or making 5 Instagram reels. It is about doing what works for you and making it cohesive and more effective.
'That starts with knowing who your target market is - your ideal client - and what kind of content the find helpful or interesting or inspiring.
Check out the workshop and join us if it's right for you:

Today, we’re diving into two of the most important aspects of running your VA business: setting your rates with confidence and finding the clients who value your expertise.
It’s important to understand how to price your services, and also how to attract quality clients.
I do lots of trainings on these two things regularly, but it’s an important message to keep on sharing so today we will talk about how the two fit together!
Have you heard my story about how I doubled my rates overnight and then booked out my VA business?
The two things really can go hand in hand.
When you make a bold move like increasing your rates higher than your current clients are paying, and you start connecting with more of your ideal clients, you can blow the lid off your business easily.
Why? Confidence is one of the driving forces. Value is another. We’ll talk about those and more in today’s episode.

So this isn’t an episode where you will learn about mindset, or time management or marketing your VA business. Not really, anyway.
In this episode I want to talk about your VA colleagues.
A supportive network is vital in any industry, but I really think having a solid community around you is essential for Virtual Assistants.
Over the years I have obviously connected with hundreds, maybe even thousands of VAs personally.
I have met a lot of VAs - at all stages of their business.
When I was a VA myself, we used to connect online in forums and attend live events that the associations ran, as often as we could.
We really wanted to get to know one another.
We needed to get to know one another.
It’s not that it has to be lonely to be a VA - but it often is.
You are not meant to do everything on your own when you work for yourself - and by yourself.
You still need community.
And I don’t mean surfing the local VA Facebook group for job opportunities.
I mean really connecting with people.
How many VAs do you actually know and talk with on a regular basis? That’s what I’m talking about in today's episode.
You don’t have to go far to find your people. We are right here!
I am right here. I can help.
It’s time. I’m here to help. It’s the only reason I’m here at all, is to help you become a ridiculously good VA. But it’s you who has to take that first step.
I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving forward. I offer private coaching, and a variety of group and self study training and coaching options that help them get there.

Every VA journey is unique. Yours is different than mine was, and mine was different that hers was.
We try to learn everything we can, and yet still some things don’t go the way we want them to, or the way we expected them to.
There can be tough moments.
Your job is to figure out a way to get our of them - and not repeat them again.
Tough situations help us learn how to do things better.
Let’s talk today about a few things that might go wrong - and how to fix them and move forward.
Failure will happen, things will go wrong, and it’s how you bounce back from those failures that will help you grow in your VA business.
Obviously we hope nothing ever goes wrong - but sometimes it does and we need to handle it.
Learning to deal with things in a professional manner, without letting one walk all over you, is resilient.
It’s the much better way to be!
What have you experienced that has made you feel like throwing in the towel, or running away to hide, or dumping a client, or even is just giving you stress of any kind?
Fix it. And move on. That’s the advice. Jane says you can do it, and I agree with her. You deserve everything you dream of.
Let’s circle back to today’s quote by Sheryl Sandberg: Resilience is not about overcoming, but becoming. It is about finding yourself in the process.
Staying in business long term means building that resilience. And it’s not about overcoming things, really, it’s about you finding yourself as a business person. Not just a VA, someone’s helper. But a bona fide expert in helping others. That’s you!
Seek out support if you can’t do it on your own. It will be money well spent.
You can do this. I know you can. I can help.
It’s time. I’m here to help. It’s the only reason I’m here at all, is to help you become a ridiculously good VA. But it’s you who has to take that first step.

A lot of the marketing for your business will occur when you aren’t even talking directly to someone - on social media or in other conversations.
But you still can control what is said, when you leverage social proof.
Social proof leverages the opinions and feedback of other people to talk about how great your product or service is.
For your Virtual Assistant business, being able to share social proof can really help build the know, like and trust with those people that haven't worked with you before.
What do I mean by social proof?
Wikipedia: Social proof (or informational social influence) is a psychological and social phenomenon wherein people copy the actions of others in choosing how to behave in a given situation. The term was coined by Robert Cialdini in his 1984 book Influence: Science and Practice.
Social proof comes in many forms. Some you might have thought of before, and some you may not have. But all of them are effective ways to get the word out about your services.
We'll talk about how to collect, create and use social proof in your VA business so that clients will feel more comfortable making the decision to work with you!
I’d love to help you get there.

The number one thing that VAs come to me for help with - and the ones that don’t come to me also want to know this …
...where to find clients?
We have this sense that when we build it they will come and that is so not the case when we start our VA business.
We struggle trying to perfect our website, our social media like our IG grid, our branding - and then when we finally deem all of that to be perfect and ready, we have no idea how to get clients.
To have a VA business, you need to have clients. Without it, you have a hobby - or a job that pays like crap.
So you have to prioritize learning how to find clients in order for your VA business to be successful.
And that starts with where to look, which is often the most important part.
In a nutshell, you have to find the places where your people are hanging out, and then go hang out with them there.
That’s it, that’s the advice. You know I tell you exactly this when we talk - when you ask for advice, that’s what I tell you to do.
To find the place, or places, you need to know who your people are - and then where they go.
Today I will tell you 8 places to look for clients.
Business can be hard if you don’t. Once again, it’s not about getting somewhere quickly. It’s about having the right plan, with the right steps - and moving towards it every day.
Find your people, find your places, and get clients.
I’d love to help you get there.
It’s time. I’m here to help. It’s the only reason I’m here at all, is to help you become a ridiculously good VA. But it’s you who has to take that first step.

Like anywhere you are trying to go, you need to know the way to go.
You can call it a roadmap, a plan, a pathway, whatever you want - but basically it means you need step by step knowledge of the way from here to there, clearly mapped out, before you start.
When I tell you that you need to set your VA service rates, there is a process to do that the right way. You can’t just pick a number out of thin air.
When I tell you that you need a target market, it’s because you need to know who you are talking to and where you need to go to find them and talk to them.
When I tell you that you need to know how long everything takes you to do in your VA business, you need to actually do it and time it and set parameters about how you will do it again moving forward.
Before I did any of these things in my business, I did the wrong things.
I picked a number out of thin air. My business made no money for years.
I marketed to everyone. I had all kinds of different clients and did whatever they asked, and I never knew how to get a new client when I needed one.
I worked with open ended times for tasks. I wasted so much time doing things, and without processes I always had to try to remember to do something when I went to do it again a few months later.
Managing your time is so important as a VA, but being able to follow proven ways of getting things done matters too.
Not only do you work happier, you avoid burnout, you get more done, you make more money, and you deal with much less anxiety in your VA business when you have a roadmap.
It’s not about getting somewhere quickly. It’s about having the right plan, with the right steps - and moving towards it every day.
One step at a time will get you there faster than you even realize.
I’d love to help you get there.
It’s time. I’m here to help. It’s the only reason I’m here at all, is to help you become a ridiculously good VA. But it’s you who has to take that first step.

Today I want to talk about marketing - but not just advertising your business, or getting visibility - I want to talk about why you need to do things a certain way to get better results.
It's easy to do marketing. But to do it well? You need to understand why certain things work.
If you tuned in to my interview with Alicia Croci of Wildly Creative Studio, you will know that she mentioned the psychology of sales. That’s the reason that people say yes, or say no, or engage or don’t engage with you.
There are certain things that you need to realize about sales, about marketing, and about business - that will help you get better results from everything that you do.
I’m going to talk about 10 of them in today’s episode.
Marketing is an essential part of getting clients for your VA business. You have to do it or you won’t have a VA business soon.
So take some of these tips and implement them today. Or better yet, let me help you build your system and help you get clients.
Let’s circle back to today’s quote: Marketing’s job is never done. It’s about perpetual motion. We must continue to innovate every day. Remember this, and remember that taking just one step every day is perpetual motion. You can do it!
It’s time. I’m here to help. It’s the only reason I’m here at all, is to help you become a ridiculously good VA. But it’s you who has to take that first step.

There are a lot of reasons why you might stop marketing your VA business.
Usually, it’s because you get a few clients and then you get busy working with them.
Sometimes it’s because you have taken an actual break in your business.
Or sometimes it’s because you get burned out from trying all the wrong things, and you give up.
In any case, let’s talk about how to restart.
’ve stopped and restarted my marketing a lot over the years that I’ve been in business. I’ve also helped a lot of other VAs get started again - it just takes a few steps.
And you should not feel bad if you haven’t done anything in a while. We will just start now!

Ready, Set, Grow: Ready Set Grow Program
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildlycreativestudio | https://www.instagram.com/aliciacroci/Alicia Croci is an energetic business and sales coach. Four years ago, her corporate job tried to push her back to the office, and she said “fuck that,” starting her own online business. She now helps women across the globe market their business, stand out, sell out launches, and free up space in their calendars.
As a mom and business owner, she gets it—business isn’t for the weak. But with the right strategies, it CAN feel simple when you focus on what lights you up.
After burning out in corporate, managing 80+ social media accounts for pennies, she built her own business. In just 12 months, she was making $8k+ months serving ONLY 8 clients at a time.
In September 2023, she found out she was expecting her first baby, and knew her business model had to change. So, she burned it all to the ground, retired her highest-selling offer, and created a whole new offer suite for her DFY agency & added on coaching. And it was the best thing she ever did.
Now she helps women define what “wealthy” means to them, simplify their business, and truly help them build a legacy business that allows them the space to do whatever they want with their life.
Enjoy!

Networking is always going to be the solution that I mention when it comes to finding clients.
But networking is also how you grow your business. Your contacts. Your audience.
Connecting with the right people can lead to the best clients. Collaborations. Awesome learning opportunities.
When it comes to your VA business, the people you know can help you grow in every area.
I used to travel to events to network with my clients and their colleagues. And yes it cost me money, but I made much more money from the clients that I picked up there than I ever spent.
Luckily we have much more opportunity locally and online now to network but it’s all networking.
How do you feel about networking?
Today I want to talk about how to start networking with new people.
It's easy, and it's something that I can teach you to do.

One of the things I help Virtual Assistants do is to change the way they approach their relationship and their role with their VA clients.
In order to not be a task taker or a girl Friday, you need to step up.
You need to change how you act and how you talk to them, so that they see you as the expert that you are.
When you change how YOU see you, you can elevate your service offerings, charge higher rates, and more confidently support your clients.
Today I want to share 4 really simple ways to change how you do things - I promise you it will make a huge difference!

Today I want to talk about improving and expanding your skill set as a VA.
Quote: Education is not the filling of a pot, but the lighting of a fire. - W.B. Yeats
How awesome is that quote? I just love it. Education is the lighting of a fire - that is precisely how I want you to think about it!
So because I really love this quote that’s where I want to start today.
Education is not the filling of a pot, but the lighting of a fire.
When we first start our VA business, there is much to learn.
Most VAs I know love to learn, so that’s usually a good thing.
Until you get stuck in the learning and you don’t move forward.
But that’s another conversation!
Here we are talking about fire.
When you got your VA business started, you had a fire in you.
You felt passionate about what you were doing, why you were doing it, and you were voraciously reading and learning everything you could about it so you could make a go of it.
Then you started your business and either did well or struggled.
But in either case, you probably settled down into the day to day and stopped learning.
I know for me I got so busy with client work that I really didn’t do much for myself anymore.
Maybe it’s the same for you.
But when we learn something new, there is a light that goes on - I think it’s that fire - and we see new possibilities, and new pathways to where we want to go.
You didn’t start your VA business to give yourself a job, you started it to help people. To help yourself and your family.
So I want to talk today about how to light that fire - that spark - and get you moving again.
PRIVATE COACHING: Let’s work together privately to get you to your really big goal. It’s the fastest way to get results and we can start right away. Learn more about private coaching here.

Today I want to talk about how to confidently close high ticket VA clients.
The title of this episode really says everything most of you talk to me about in your VA business.
Confidence - you might not have this, either you feel it or I can tell when we talk
Close - getting the client is often one of the biggest struggles you tell me you are experiencing. Sales feels icky. Closing a client feels icky.
High-Ticket - everyone wants clients who pay well, somehow it seems easier to book out your business when the clients pay you more
Clients - any size, we al want and need clients, or we have no businessSo imagine my delight at being able to talk to you about all of these things in one episode!
How do you do it? Tune in to this episode to learn how!

This episode is the fourth in a series of four episodes that I want to share with you as a lead up to my 50K VA Group Coaching program that is launching in the next couple of weeks.
Today I want to talk about creating systems to scale your VA business.
Having strong systems in place helps to make sure that your business runs smoothly and that when you are ready to scale, you are able to. Effective systems are the backbone of business growth, and will help you stay in business a very long time!
Being able to scale your VA business whenever you want means being able to bring in new clients whenever you want, make more money whenever you want, take time off when you want, or travel, or make a big purchase, you get the picture.
Scaling is the way you grow, and it’s much easier to get yourself set up for growth than you think.
A report by Small Business Trends says that 66% of small businesses that do not adopt automation and advanced digital systems as part of their productivity, fail to do so because of ineffective systems and a lack of proper organization.
Think about it - we offer our clients organization, time management, productivity, and efficiency - but many of us don’t do it for ourselves... for our own VA businesses.
You have to treat your business just like your clients' businesses. It’s important, it needs structure and strategy. And it needs systems.
When you are organized and efficient, you can handle new clients easily. you can invest in training or support when you need it.
We weren’t meant to do everything ourselves. Even thought we are solopreneurs as VAs, there are things that others are better at than we are. There are things that others should be doing, instead of us.
Again, it’s all the same stuff we tell our clients. Some things are out of our area of expertise - and yet we struggle through them.
VAs tell me every day that they are learning to build their own website, learning how to do FB ads, learning how to use every CRM system out there in case a client needs them to know it.
We need to be able to identify when it’s important for us to learn or do something in our VA business, and when it’s more efficient or just smarter to outsource it
Today we are going to talk about the importance of systems in your VA business growth.

This episode is the third in a series of four episodes that I want to share with you as a lead up to my 50K VA Group Coaching program that is launching next month.
High-Value Clients – we are talking about this because it’s your missing link.
It’s the thing you don’t have right now, that you want. That you need.
It’s the whole basis for my 50K VA program that is launching soon.
You are struggling right now because you are not in contact with the right people.
It’s really as simple as that.
If you were networking or in a community with a whole bunch on entrepreneurs who had money, who were doing the stuff to grow their business, who were successful, but who didn’t have any VAs, would you be able to help them?
Yes you could! You can. And you will.
Instead you are eking through on social media with people who are starting their business, who are feeling the challenge of doing their admin while serving their clients too – and not doing it well.
So they hire you because they can’t afford an in house admin, and then they nickel and dime and micromanage everything you do because they are struggling to afford your services anyway.
Sound familiar?
Well maybe it’s not all that bad, but it goes down that path really quickly if you’re not paying attention.
If your clients are choosing your lowest package, or asking you what you charge to do this or that (okay then we’ll just do this), then you are going to struggle to build the business YOU want. That will help you live the lifestyle that YOU want.
And your business …. Quite frankly, it’s about you. It’s for you.
If you just wanted a paycheque, you could go and get a job.
You started your business because you want freedom, flexibility, and all that good stuff that goes with being a business owner.
So it’s time for you to find the clients that really need you – the ones that value you – high-value clients will help you build a high-value VA business.
And that’s what we are going to talk about on today’s episode.
If you are looking to build the kind of business I’m talking about - a 50K and beyond VA business, that’s where I can help. I am here to help you become a ridiculously good VA.
I have helped hundreds of VAs who are stuck get moving through private coaching, my monthly mastermind group, my group coaching program and my self study trainings. If you are ready to get my help, let’s connect on a Cut to the Chase call. You can book yours at YourVAMentor.com/chase
