Why job boards will stunt your business growth is a no brainer; you will never create a virtual assistant business with consistent long-term income using job boards. You will always be searching for more clients. You may as well be selling a party plan. We all know that only a tiny percentage of the VA industry makes it big.
So what does big mean in this context? Successful, debt-free, consistent 6-figure income, a team of VAs working with them, in business 13+ years. Oh, wait, that’s me! To me, that is a success, that’s big, that’s life-changing, and everything I share on The VA Project can help you because it is built on my experiences and my learnings, good and bad.
Back to job boards, using them to find leads and potential clients is like applying for a new job every time to keep the money coming in. It is highly stressful, and so many virtual assistants fail, become disheartened, and throw in the towel because they don’t realise there is another way, a better way, a way that can change their lifestyle.
Why job boards will stunt your business growth!
So, how do Virtual Assistants make the big bucks?
1. They think like a boss, not like an employee—this means you will operate strategically; you think relationally, not transactionally.
2. They have done the hard work and research—you constantly make time to update your skills and knowledge to keep ahead of industry changes.
3. They network with their target market—being in the same room as your target market makes it much easier for them to learn about you and you learn about them.
4. They build emotional connections with their target market. Empathy and knowing the pain points of your potential clients are important to understanding how you can help them.
5. They are consistent and reliable. Consistency is the key to a long and happy client-VA working relationship. If they can’t count on you, there is no relationship.
6. They are forward thinkers—your potential client is always planning, and you must be doing that, too. Think of yourself as your best client. Do what they do!
