#34 - The Cringe-Worthy VA Mistakes I Made (So You Don’t Have To)

from THE EMPIRE STATE OF MIND · host Katja Zumbühl

Ever looked back on your early days and cringed at the things you did? Ohhh, same. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the most painful (and totally avoidable) mistakes I made as a Virtual Assistant—so you don’t have to learn the hard way. Here’s what I’m exposing in today’s episode: ❌ The low pricing trap that kept me broke and overworked ❌ The ridiculous task I said “yes” to that had me posting about a ram sale at 3 AM ❌ How ignoring client red flags turned my inbox into a 24/7 emergency hotline ❌ Why over-delivering without boundaries does not make you the MVP (it just makes you unpaid) ❌ The smartest way to specialize as a VA and get fully booked faster ❌ Why hustle ≠ success or cash in the bank (and what actually builds a profitable business) If you’re a VA, freelancer, or service provider (or wanna become one), this episode will save you time, stress, and sanity. Hit play now, and let’s make sure your VA journey is cringe-free. ➡️ CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM ➡️ THE 7-DAY KICKSTART CHALLENGE (FREE!) ➡️ THE DIGITAL NOMAD LIFE WEBSITE
