In this episode of The VA Live Lounge, Kirsty and Lisa dive into the age-old advice that’s often thrown around in the online business world:
“Collaboration over competition.”

But is it really that simple?

We explore the benefits of building connections with other VAs—sharing referrals, teaming up on client projects, learning from one another—and why collaboration can absolutely open doors to growth and sustainability.

BUT—we also keep it real.
We talk honestly about:
⚡ Times we’ve faced direct competition (and how it felt)
⚡ Real-life situations where other VAs weren't so friendly
⚡ The boundaries we’ve learned to set
⚡ Why who you collaborate with matters just as much as how
⚡ And how we’ve turned awkward moments into lessons (and motivation)

If you’ve ever felt unsure about connecting with “the competition,” or wondered if there’s really space for everyone in the VA world—this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a few laughs along the way.

🎧 Tune in now to hear the messy, inspiring truth behind building a VA business that lifts others up—without losing yourself in the process.
