Unlock New Strengths Through VA Work with Louisa Mfum-Mensah Panic-Proof Radio
-
- Gründervirksomhet
Louisa Mfum-Mensah found her way to VA work because she was eager to tap into different parts of her brain and expand her productivity and expertise outside of her 9-to-5 job. She's since become one of our expert VAs at Don't Panic Management, and while Louisa’s clients get a lot from working with her, she gets something equally valuable in return. In addition to supporting women entrepreneurs she admires, Louisa says that her VA work has exposed her to new interests.
Being a VA has helped her realize how much she enjoys strategy, operations, and implementation work. It’s even opened up a new career path for her: She recently accepted the role of Director of Executive Operations with the Urban Affairs Coalition, the largest nonprofit organization in Philadelphia.
Hear more about Louisa's journey as a VA, how she remains positive and focused with so much on her plate, and why she's so passionate about serving her VA clients.
Key Takeaways
When a VA is invested in their client’s work, the client’s wins are a VA’s wins, too. An invested VA will go the extra mile to find the best possible solution to any problem.
The best VAs are people who can anticipate what’s coming and help their clients plan accordingly.
When starting with a VA, invest in the relationship-building. It is a personal relationship, and you need to take the time to build that trust, so everything else can fall into place seamlessly.
