Come hang out with me on Instagram at @hey.lauranicole and share what freedom looks like in your life right now. I’m cheering you on.__________________________________________This episode is a little different from our usual VA strategy chats. Instead of diving into clients or offers, I’m sharing something more personal - the quiet realization that somewhere between motherhood and business, I stopped doing things just for me.For a long time, “maybe someday” became my default. Maybe someday I’d pick up that hobby. Maybe someday I’d take that trip. Maybe someday I’d make time. But recently, I started questioning that pattern and making small changes that feel bigger than I expected.In this episode, I’m talking about what shifted, the tiny ways I’m reclaiming parts of myself, and how building a flexible VA business creates space for a life that isn’t all work and responsibility.If you’ve been feeling a little disconnected from yourself lately, lost in the identity of motherhood, this conversation will feel like a gentle nudge back to you.In this episode, I chat about👇🏻• The moment I realized I’d been living in “maybe someday”• The small changes I’m making to feel like myself again• How flexibility as a VA supports a fuller life If this episode resonated, come tell me what your “maybe someday” is over on Instagram at @hey.lauranicole.

Ep. 41: Being “Booked & Busy” Doesn’t Equal Success as a VA
Want clients who will gladly pay your rate? The Client Magnet Method shows you how to find and attract them fast. Grab your special podcast discount today!__________________________________________So many new virtual assistants assume that the more clients they have, the more successful they must be. BUT - what if stacking your client roster is actually pulling you further away from the freedom and flexibility you started this journey for in the first place??In this episode, I challenge the hustle-driven belief that success equals having as many clients as possible.

Join my upcoming Discover Your Superstar VA Skills four-day workshop where I’ll show you what services to offer based on your existing skills!__________________________________________Podcasting has become such a powerful way for online business owners to get seen and grow their audience but here’s the thing most people don’t realize: the work doesn’t stop when the record button turns off. Behind every episode is a repeatable system of tasks that business owners don’t want to manage themselves… and that’s exactly where you, as a VA, can step in.In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what podcast management as a VA service actually looks like.

Curious if VA work could actually be a fit for you? My free 3-day VA Challenge will help you find out! Register today!__________________________________________One of the biggest doubts I hear from moms who are considering virtual assistant work isn’t about whether they’re capable, it’s about whether they actually have the time. When your day is broken up into short windows between school drop-offs, meals, naps, and everything else on your plate, it can feel hard to believe those small pockets could ever turn into meaningful income.In this episode, I’m breaking down why you don’t have to wait for long, uninterrupted hours to get started. I’ll walk you through how those quick 10- or 15-minute work sessions can stack up faster than you think, and why shifting your focus to total hours instead of perfectly structured days can completely change how you see what’s possible.If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering how such small bits of time could actually move the needle financially, this conversation will help you look at your schedule differently and see the earning potential that may already be hiding in your day.In this episode, I chat about👇🏻• How pockets of time throughout your day can add up to consistent weekly income• Why you don’t need long, uninterrupted work blocks to start making money as a VA• How to realistically match your income goals with the time you already haveWant help identifying your own pockets of time and turning them into income?

My free 3-day VA Challenge will help you find out.__________________________________________If you’ve been telling yourself you’re “not techy enough” to become a virtual assistant, I want to clear that up for you in this episode. It’s one of the biggest misconceptions I see holding women back from starting a VA business and it simply isn’t true.I’m breaking down what virtual assistant work actually looks like on a day-to-day basis, the level of tech knowledge clients really expect, and why your soft skills like organization, communication, and reliability are often far more valuable than knowing complicated systems.In this episode, I chat about👇🏻• Why you don’t need advanced tech skills to become a VA• The real skills clients value most in a virtual assistant• How learnable tools and systems fit into VA workWant help figuring out if VA work is right for you?

Grab your special podcast discount today!__________________________________________There’s a truth about becoming a virtual assistant that can feel uncomfortable at first but it’s also incredibly freeing once you understand it: signing clients is a numbers game. And when you don’t know what realistic numbers look like, it’s easy to start thinking something is wrong with you if clients aren’t coming in as quickly as you hoped.In this episode, I’m breaking down why reaching out to “only” 10 or 15 potential clients isn’t a sign of failure, it simply means you don’t have enough data yet. I walk you through how networking actually works, why conversion rates matter, and how understanding the math behind client signing can help you detach from the emotion and self-doubt that so often creep in.If you’ve caught yourself wondering, “Is this even going to work for me?” this conversation will give you the perspective shift and the practical direction you may need to keep moving forward with confidence.In this episode, I chat about👇🏻• Why signing clients as a VA is a numbers game (and why that actually works in your favor)• What realistic conversion rates look like so you can stop taking “no’s” personally• How increasing the number of conversations you start can dramatically improve your chances of landing a clientIf you’re ready for a simple, repeatable way to start more client conversations, I teach my 15-Minute Networking Method inside the Client Magnet Method, a mini course created to help you connect with ideal clients, spark natural conversations, and move toward discovery calls with greater confidence.What can you expect from this podcast and future episodes?• Bite-sized episodes that give you quick, actionable insights into the Virtual Assistant industry• Learn how to build skills, boost your confidence, and create a profitable VA businessGet the show notes and transcription here: https://www.laurajtraining.com/podcast-ep37-why-youre-not-signing-clients-yet-its-not-what-you-thinkFind Laura on social media:Instagram: @hey.lauranicoleTikTok: @hey.lauranicoleFacebook: Superstar Assistant AcademyInterested in earning sustainable income on YOUR terms, working as a Virtual Assistant?
