I recorded a podcast interview yesterday and spent a lot of time talking about my journey from corporate employee → redundant at 28 weeks pregnant → starting my VA business the exact SAME day.
It reminded me of something…I didn’t suddenly become capable the day I became a Virtual Assistant.
I already had the skills.
I already had the experience.
I already knew how to organise, communicate, manage, problem-solve and support businesses.
I just hadn’t looked at those skills and thought: “Someone would actually pay ME for this.”
I see SO many women doing the same thing.
You’ve spent 5, 10, maybe 15+ years building incredible experience…but because those skills come naturally to you, you dismiss them as: “That’s just what I do.”
NOT HERE!!!
That’s your skillset.
That’s your experience and that could become your VA business.
So I have a little weekend challenge for you all🔥
Ask yourself:
→ What did I become the go-to person for in previous roles?
→ What do people constantly ask me for help with?
→ What can I do easily that other people find difficult?
→ What problems am I REALLY good at solving?
→ What experience have I completely undervalued?
PLEASE don't immediately go and look at another VA's Instagram and decide you need to offer whatever she's offering.
Start with YOU.
Your best VA offer might already be sitting inside years of experience you've dismissed as “just my job.”
You don't need to feel confident before you start. I certainly didn't. I started and the confidence came because I took the leap and started.
