Today we are talking about something that I het a lot of VAs don't even think is a problem.

That is, staying stuck at low rates.

I'm not talking about VAs who are getting started. A lot of us started with rates lower than we should have. (If this is you, sign up for my $97 Getting Started as a VA self study program to get the right foundations under your business right now!)

When you are in that awkward getting-started phase where you are figuring things out, it can be easy to set rates that are too low.

So I'm talking about VAs who are years into business and still charging beginner rates, still feeling nervous about increasing their prices, still attracting clients who question every invoice, and still wondering why things feel so hard.

If that sounds like you then take a deep breath. This is fixable!

I just this is a really important conversation because I think a lot of VAs assume low rates are just a pricing problem.

Like their rates are set and they can't do anything about it. Wrong.

Like there aren't clients out there who will mean more. Wrong.

Like they have to change what they offer to charge higher rates and get new clients. Wrong again!

Low rates are usually connected to confidence, positioning, habits, boundaries, fear, and the way you see yourself as a business owner.

And if you do not deal with those things, you can stay stuck for a very long time.

I have seen incredibly talented VAs charging far less than they should while newer VAs with less experience are charging significantly more. That tells you right there that this is not just about skill level.

So today I want to talk about why some VAs stay stuck at low rates for years, what is actually happening underneath the surface, and what you need to shift if you want to finally move forward.

You do not have to change everything overnight.

But you do have to start making intentional decisions instead of operating on autopilot.

Because the VAs who grow are usually not the ones with perfect confidence, they are just the ones willing to make a decision, to take action, even if they don't feel fully ready.

You need to work in your brilliance. Do what you are great at.

I've told you before 'What comes easiest to you is what you should be charging the most for,' and I mean it every time.

You will SHINE when you help your client with your own expertise.

If you want help polishing that up, join me for the Booked and Busy Bootcamp. It's a 3 month group coaching program where we will figure out what you do best, and price it appropriately, and find the people who need your help. It's as simple as that.

Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode of The Ridiculously Good VA Show.

If you are ready to stop playing small in your business, start charging more confidently, attract better clients, and build a VA business that actually feels sustainable and profitable, get in touch with me to talk about how I can help you do just that.

I'm here to help you become a ridiculously good virtual assistant.

I'll see you next time!

If you are not getting inquiries about your VA services, it's usually not because you're not good at what you do. I mean, for sure that's not the reason.

It's because of how you're talking about what you do.

And I want to be really clear here.

This is not about becoming a better salesperson in a pushy, uncomfortable way. This is about clarity. This is about confidence. And this is about making it easy for the right people to see themselves in what you offer.

So if you've ever felt like you're posting consistently, you're showing up, you're talking about your services, but nothing is really happening, this episode is going to help you shift that.

So if you've been feeling frustrated because things aren't clicking yet, I want you to take a look at your messaging first, because that's usually where the gap is. Once you start closing that gap, everything else gets easier.

More conversations.
More inquiries.
More opportunities to turn those into clients.

And if you want help with this, if you want to actually sit down and refine how you're talking about your services so that it connects and converts, that's exactly what we do inside my programs.

We don't just talk about what services to offer.
We talk about how to position them, how to communicate them, and how to build a business around them that feels clear and sustainable.

So if that's something you're ready for, I'd love to support you.

You can jump into the Booked and Busy Bootcamp and get this done right now. Or you can message me and we can talk about other ways I can help you uplevel what you are doing - the clarity with your messaging - talking about the right stuff, more often.

For now, take a look at how you're currently describing your services and ask yourself one simple question: Would a potential client read this and immediately understand how it helps them?
If the answer is no, that's your starting point.

Sometimes you need someone else to read it for you, but either way get that done. Because that's where the real progress begins.

Let's circle back to today's quote: The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits them and sells itself.

That's literally all you have to do.

I want to tell you one thing - when you start doing this, because you understand it - you will find it so much easier to not just do your marketing and social media, but you will also feel more relaxed in conversations.

And all of that leads to the inquiries that you want.

That's all I've got for you today. Thanks so much for tuning in.

I'm Tracey D'Aviero, The Confidence Coach for VAs - and I'm here to help you become a ridiculously good VA.

it's the only reason I'm here at all. So reach out, connect with me. If I can help you right now, I'd love to talk about it.

I'll see you next time!

Today we're talking about something that I see all the time with virtual assistants, especially once you're past that very beginning stage.

You're working. You're showing up. You've maybe had some clients, or you even have clients right now. But your business feels scattered. A little all over the place. A little unclear. Like you're doing a lot, but not really building anything solid.

You're feeling constantly busy, but at the end of the week, you're not totally sure what you actually moved forward. You might even look back and think, hmm what moved forward this week?

And if that's you, I want you to understand something. It's not because you're doing something wrong. Well, not entirely. You are missing something very important though. And once you figure out what that thing is, everything starts to feel a lot simpler.

If you listen to this episode and thinking, "Yes, this is exactly how my business feels right now," then this is exactly what we focus on inside Booked & Busy Bootcamp.

This is not about adding more to your plate. It's about simplifying what's already there.

We take all of those moving pieces and bring them together into something that actually makes sense for you.

We help you get clear on your services, create a plan for getting clients, and actually start building momentum in your business marketing. So you're not just busy… you're growing. And you're doing it in a way that feels manageable and doable, not overwhelming.

Booked and Busy Bootcamp is a 12 week program, so yes we are going to work together for a while. We don't overwhelm you with 10 things to do at once and then expect you to walk away and get it done. We will ramp up to make sure you are ready and get your moving.

You'll have to make decisions. You'll have to move out of your comfort zone. You'll have to TALK to people (ahh!)

Send me a DM if you are wondering if this program is right for you. It's coming up in a few weeks, and it's reasonably priced.

It's a no brainer, guys. If you need clients, let me help you get on the path to get them.

Let's start using your time smarter, and actually getting you what you want from your VA business.
