In business there are oodles of ways to find yourself in the proverbial sh#t – and being in the virtual assistant space means you’re even more likely to fall headfirst.

Why?

‘Cos virtual assistants seem hardwired to appease their leads and clients – to the detriment of their own success and mental health.

Please don’t feel embarrassed if you’re doing one (or more!) things on our Sh#t List!

Remember. We don’t know what we don’t know!

The important thing is that now you DO know, it’s your responsibility to take action, make change and learn from the mistake/s that have put you on a path of high client (or team!) turnover, low profits and where you’re asking yourself “is this really worth the hassle?”.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • Why you’re forgetting your non-negotiables and how it’s led to having a business you no longer love.
  • Why all those unbilled phone calls are causing more issues than you realise.
  • Why you’ve got to stop making assumptions about leads and clients.
  • Why it's time to accept the need for having a robust client contract and onboarding process that protects YOU.
  • The client management reminders you didn’t know you needed to hear.
