Desire to Done Podcast for Virtual Assistants and Introverts

Passive income products allow you to make money while you sleep. Sounds pretty good, huh?

And guess what! You can create these products anytime during your VA journey.

In this episode, I’ll be covering different types of passive income products you can create, plus tips and tools for creating and selling your products.
Even if you’re not ready to create passive income products yet, it’s good to have an idea of what’s possible with your business in the future.

Creating a name for your Virtual Assistant business can be a challenge. First, you need to find a name you like. Then you need to make sure nobody else has the same name. And if so, you have to find another one.
I know from experience that naming your business is one of those steps that can hold you back from moving forward in the business-building process. And it’s something that a lot of VAs struggle with.
In today’s episode, I’m going to go through how to name your business and what to do once you find a name you like.

When should you invoice a client? Before working with them or after?

If you send your bill before you do the work, will it have a negative impact on your relationship?
If you ask them to pay after you complete their work, what if they don’t pay?
In today's episode, I shed some light on the topic and share what I recommend most VAs do.

If the word 'networking' sends chills down your spine, you're not alone! It tends to conjure up thoughts of people standing around in suits and dresses in a stuffy room, shuffling out business cards, and making boring and awkward business talk.

And if you're an introvert, the thought of talking to strangers alone gives you heart palpitations, so the mere thought of approaching strangers on your own gives you a full-on panic attack.

Networking has so many benefits, though, that you don't want to disregard it. In this episode, I talk about these benefits and how to find networking opportunities that feel good to you.
