You're not alone.If you've ever been introduced as someone's "assistant" despite running half their business, constantly found yourself overexplaining your value, or watched newer VAs confidently charge double your rates, this episode is for you.The truth is, being multi-skilled and capable of handling "all the things" might actually be working against you.
