Let’s talk about something that’s not acknowledged enough in the VA world, but that’s almost always at the root of the biggest struggle new and growing virtual assistants face.

You’re not getting hired. Not because you’re not talented or capable. But because your confidence hasn’t caught up to your potential yet.

There’s a reason this episode is called Confidence First, Clients Second.

Because it’s the truth. Your confidence is the foundation and everything else flows from that.

Without it, you’re going to hesitate, procrastinate, and undercharge.

You’ll be afraid to promote yourself, unsure how to talk to potential clients, and second-guess every decision you make.

And when that kind of energy shows up in your business, it’s also what potential clients pick up on, even if you don’t realize it.

Now, I want to be really clear here. This doesn’t mean that you have to feel 100% confident before you can land your first client. That comes with experience.

But if you’re stuck in a place where you’re doing all the things... posting content, scrolling job boards, applying to RFPs, and nothing is working, the issue probably isn’t strategy. It’s probably YOU.

If you’re struggling to get clients right now, I want you to take an honest look at how you’re showing up. Are you confident?

Clients are secondary. Confidence is the starting line. That’s the shift that turns effort into results.

Believe in you and your clients will too.

Remember that quote we started with: With confidence, you have won before you have started. Approach each conversation you have as that winner! That's your key.

If you need help finding your confidence I can help.

It's the only reason I'm here at all is to help you become a ridiculously good VA.
