    Ep. 52: How to Find Your First VA Client in Just 15 Minutes a Day

    ✨ Join my free First Client Formula training to learn how to find and sign your first VA client! __________________________________________ There’s a reason why scrolling job boards isn’t getting you the kind of clients you actually want, and it’s probably not what you think. In this episode, I’m talking about a different way to approach finding clients - one that doesn’t rely on waiting around for opportunities, but instead puts you in control of creating them. It might feel uncomfortable at first, especially if you’re used to the more “traditional” way of applying for work. But when done right, it doesn’t have to take hours of your time or feel overwhelming. Sometimes, the shift isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing things differently. In this episode, we chat about👇🏻 • Why job platforms like Fiverr and Upwork often lead to frustration • What proactive networking looks like in real life • How 15 minutes a day can lead to landing a client ✨ Want the exact formula to land your first client? Register for the free First Client Formula training and send me a DM on Instagram @hey.lauranicole with “FCF” after you sign up. I’ll see you there!

    Want help figuring out your next step? Send me a DM on Instagram @hey.lauranicole and tell me where you’re at. I’ll point you in the right direction. __________________________________________ There’s a big difference between wanting to become a virtual assistant… and actually signing your first client. And for most women? That gap has NOTHING to do with ability - and everything to do with simply not knowing what to do next. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my signature program, the Superstar Assistant Academy, and showing you exactly how moms go from feeling stuck and overwhelmed… to landing clients and making real money from home. Because here’s the truth: you can spend months piecing this together on your own, second guessing every step… or you can follow a proven, step-by-step process that removes the guesswork and gets you moving faster. If you’ve been sitting there wondering “okay but what do I actually DO?”  this episode will give you that clarity. In this episode, we chat about👇🏻 • Why so many women get stuck before they ever sign their first client  • What the Superstar Assistant Academy actually walks you through (step-by-step)  • The difference between figuring it out alone vs following a proven roadmap Have questions or are thinking about joining?

In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at how you can use your personal Instagram account to find clients without starting from scratch or turning it into a full-on business page. This topic comes straight from real coaching conversations inside my Superstar Accelerator group coaching space, where so many women feel stuck between wanting to network and feeling awkward showing up from a personal profile.  The truth is, you don’t need a brand-new account or consistent content to make this work, you just need a few intentional tweaks to your existing account.

I can’t wait to celebrate your progress with you! __________________________________________ As a VA, it’s easy to feel like you have to say yes to every client who wants to hire you, especially when you’re just starting out.  But what if part of building a successful VA income was also about knowing when to say no? In this episode, I dive into the power of client alignment, why turning down the wrong fit can actually move your business forward, and how trusting your instincts can save you time, energy, and stress.

    Ep. 48: Why Hearing “No” Is Exactly What You Need Right Now

    Come hang out with me on Instagram at @hey.lauranicole and share what freedom looks like in your life right now. I’m cheering you on. __________________________________________ In this episode, I’m challenging the way you think about rejection and what it actually means when a potential client tells you no. Because the truth is, if you’re not putting yourself in a position to be rejected, you’re also not putting yourself in a position to be hired. I walk you through a mindset shift that can completely change how you approach pitching yourself as a virtual assistant. Instead of seeing rejection as failure, I want you to start seeing it as part of the process, something that’s actually moving you closer to your next yes. If you’ve been holding back, overthinking your next move, or avoiding putting yourself out there because you’re scared of hearing “no”, this episode is your push to take action. In this episode, we chat about👇🏻 • Why every “no” is actually getting you closer to a “yes” • How rejection helps you improve your pitch and learn more about clients • The mindset shift that will keep you moving forward instead of giving up Once you’ve given a potential client the chance to say no, send me a DM on Instagram @hey.lauranicole to celebrate you stepping out of your comfort zone.
