I would love to know...


Hi Reader,

Guess what? International VA Day is just around the corner on Friday 17th May, and it's the perfect time to celebrate the amazing things we do! International VA Day is always the third Friday in May.

I was at the awesome Lounge by the Sea event this week run by Haley Hudson and had some really interesting conversations with attendees / speakers about the difference between "virtual assistance and virtual assistants!" More to follow on that in the weeks to come.

We wear so many hats – organisers, strategists, tech wizards, social media managers, Do'ers and the list goes on. We keep businesses running smoothly and help entrepreneurs achieve their dreams. So on International VA Day, I am going to encourage you to take a moment and acknowledge the incredible value we bring to the business world.

Here are some ways you can showcase your brilliance on International VA Day:

  • Treat Yourself! You deserve it! Grab a fancy coffee, take a long lunch break, or plan a relaxing activity.
  • Post on Social Media: Share your VA story, use the hashtag #InternationalVADay, and let the world know what you love about being a VA. Feel free to tag me and I will share your posts.
  • Connect with Other VAs: Join online communities, attend virtual events, or simply reach out to fellow VAs and celebrate together!
  • Shout Out Your Clients: Send a quick message to your clients thanking them for their trust and collaboration. If they don't mind you sharing their details on social - tag them in a post.
  • Invest in Yourself: Use this day to reflect on your goals. Maybe it's time to take a new course, learn a new skill, or finally build that website you've been dreaming of.

If you are ready to invest in yourself, I am offering you a £100 off my VA Power Hours, so they will be £80+VAT for a 60 minutes coaching call.

Click the button to go to the product in my shop (there are some ideas on the page of how we can spend our time together.)

I have a finite number of these calls available at this discounted price and so I would encourage you to buy early.

Have an awesome weekend.

Amanda

ps. Thank you to those who messaged me to ask who won the Army v Navy Rugby last weekend. I am sad to say it was the Army in the last 30 seconds, so I sulked in my beer!

Hi Reader Are you looking for clients for your VA business? If you are honest, what are you doing to attract those clients? Are you attending networking meetings but talking to the same people, week in and week out? Are you managing to book in 1:2:1's? Are you scrolling on social media pretending to market the business when really you are just scrolling and watching random memes? Have you put a social media post out telling people what availability you have or what type of clients you are...

Hi Reader Black Friday is just around the corner (Friday, 28th November), and I’m already seeing two things: my Inbox full of discounts on products already! (I think mid October was the first time I saw a Black Friday offer!) VAs panic about how low they need to drop their hourly rate to keep up with the noise and make sales Let me be 100% honest with you: You absolutely do not need to discount your prices to benefit from this period. As your friendly but no-bullshit VA coach, trainer and...
