The Truth You already have marketable skills. Not “someday” skills—today skills. When you double down on what feels natural and energizing, money moves faster. Stop chasing what’s “hot.” Build what’s yours. The Framework 1. Identify your marketable strengths. - Use what comes easily (communication, design, ops, strategy, writing, teaching, tech, organizing). Audit your past roles for proof. 2. Choose ONE painful problem. - Focus creates revenue. One problem → one person → one offer. 3. Pick your ideal client. - Who do you understand, have access to, and feel excited to help? 4. Package it. - Don’t sell vague “help.” Sell a clear outcome with a simple process. 5. Make it recurring. - Retainers, memberships, or productized services = paycheck replacement. 6. Get clients the simple way. - Announce to your network. Run 20-min market-research chats. Show up at live events.

Hi lovely people 🫶 I got a little bit of homework from my VA coach — I’m doing some market research and need to ask a few questions to business owners to gather insights and understand your perspectives. I’d be so grateful if some of you amazing humans could take a few minutes to help me out 🌻 You don’t have to answer everything — even just a few questions would already mean a lot! 🥰 (Feel free to comment below or DM me — whatever’s easiest for you 💌) These are the questions: Briefly describe your business and what it does. How long have you been in business? What are your current services and business model? What are your biggest challenges or roadblocks in growing your business? What aspects of your business take up the most time but don't require your direct expertise? What tasks do you feel overwhelmed by in the day-to-day operations of your business? Are there any marketing activities you struggle with (e.g., social media, email marketing)? Do you have projects that have been put on hold due to lack of time or resources? How would freeing up your time allow you to focus on more strategic initiatives? Can you describe a recent task or project you would have liked to delegate? What are your biggest concerns about delegating tasks to someone else? How comfortable are you with providing clear instructions and overseeing a VA's work? What level of communication and collaboration do you expect with a virtual assistant? Have you ever considered hiring a virtual assistant before? If yes, what was your experience like? What specific tasks or services would you be most interested in delegating to a VA? What qualities and skills are most important to you in a virtual assistant? What is your preferred method of communication with a VA (e.g., email, phone calls)? Do you have a specific budget in mind for VA services? What is your ideal turnaround time for tasks delegated to a VA? How important is it for your VA to be readily available during your working hours? How would you measure the success of working with a virtual assistant?

Lately, a common theme keeps coming up for me — authenticity. As I’ve been meeting new people and working on my own growth, I’ve noticed how many creators and leaders are focused on helping others reconnect with their true selves. That really resonates with me, because authenticity is such a powerful key to happiness. When we acknowledge who we truly are — and stop worrying about how others might see us — we begin to live with freedom, peace, and genuine joy. I want to invite you to share your authentic self here. Be real. Be imperfect. Be you. This space is meant to celebrate that. And if you ever feel blocked or unsure where to start, I’ve shared a guided meditation that’s helped me align more deeply with my own authenticity. I hope it helps you too.

💡 Building a business is exciting… but let’s be real, it can also feel overwhelming. Between the late nights, endless to-do lists, and the pressure to “do it all,” staying sane can sometimes feel like the hardest part. The truth? Balance doesn’t mean having it all figured out — it’s about finding little practices that keep you grounded and moving forward without burning out. 💬 I’d love to hear from you: 👉 What’s YOUR go-to tip for staying sane while building your business? I am struggling to make the distinction myself, but @Emmanuel Velasco had a great tip for me while we were working together on a Tiny Challenge (would totally suggest reaching out to him if you are interested in refocusing yourself and your business) He told me to pick a time that I would focus on my business, and be consistent about that time every day. For me, that helped so much! I was stressing out when I wasn't working on my business because I didn't have direction. Now, I know that if I at least spend the allotted time each day on my business, then I am doing enough. The interesting thing is that since I changed my mindset, I have actually spent more effective time on my business.

I'm Anna, and I'm so grateful to be part of this amazing community🫶 I’m from Austria, and for the past 5 years I’ve worked in prison — daydreaming every day about leaving the country and travel the world... Monday, I’m handing in my notice. It feels scary, but also I've never felt so certain... Lately I’ve felt so deeply connected to something bigger — like universal intelligence guiding me. I feel crazy... and it feels so good... I feel like myself again... I’m going to start my own Virtual Assistance business "Soul Waves VA", and stepping into my dream of becoming a digital nomad. I don’t know all the details yet, but my intuition tells me it’s all going to work out. Do you know that feeling too — the mix of fear, freedom, and absolute alignment? 🌊✨
