Marisa Hodson has been in the VA industry for almost 5 years - this realisation comes to her during this episode when she’s talking about some of her experiences while she’s been in business.

This conversation is a raw and open discussion about fear around money, fear around celebrating the wins (because we worry about when “will the good thing end?”), and how we can get caught in a spiral of self doubt. We talk about mental health, and the powerful impact that having a community of encouraging, supportive, and honest people around you has – and also, the gratitude that Amber and Marisa have for the Virtually Yours members (and their fearless leader).

We aren’t talking tips about marketing etc - today we are talking about how many VAs like to hide behind their computer instead of getting out in front of their audience. Why? What is the fear? What are some solutions? Is it introversion or is it something deeper?

What are some ways to take those baby steps to come around from behind the screens? How can you build your ‘know, like and trust’ factors without making yourself hideously stressed out? Let’s chat about it!

We spoke about photographers we recommend. They are:

We all know agreement docs are super important. But why do we often just include the legal stuff and forget about the real stuff that looks at managing expectations as HUMANS.

In this episode we chat about some of the extra clauses you might want to consider (we aren’t lawyers though, so always get advice from your lawyer or solicitor) so that you can exit an agreement when poor behaviour shows up.
