all right now let's get into it i want to say hello to a couple of people and then i'll
answer questions at the end if i have time all right lashonda good morning melissa good morning
shoshanna yo yo hey i love it rachel good morning michelle morning lorna good morning all right you
guys man i love you all all right so let's go ahead and get into it so how to work from home
as a va and this is beginner tips so you know that i am uh queen of income streams is what i
have been called and i'm just gonna go ahead and take on that moniker i'm gonna make it a license
plate and all sorts of stuff you guys so queen of income streams so that's what i do you guys i make
sure that you guys have multiple income streams from home so you never have to stress out about
money and all of a sudden life opens up to you and you can live from your heart that's my end goal so
one of those income streams you guys is being a virtual assistant sometimes people really just
love supporting other people and i would dare to say that a lot of people that are automatically
heart centered by nature do love supporting other people and maybe they're not ready yet
to create their own program or to be a coach or whatever but they really love supporting people
well you can still create a career based on that so i was on youtube earlier today and
i was looking up women entrepreneurs and i was looking up uh work from home stuff and as i was
looking that up i was seeing you know get a job that pays this much money per hour and get a job
that pays this much money per hour and i'm like that's cool and all but y'all that's still a job
right it's still you working for someone else and while you're working from home yes
it really doesn't take away all of that extra baggage and stuff that comes from working for a
corporation so to speak you still have rules you still have you know you have to be on the phone a
certain amount of time there's still like a lot of stuff that isn't just you living your life right
i mean we can all agree on that yeah so as i was looking through that i was like man so people are
looking for work from home and they're thinking that working from home means they're working for
somebody else but they're still they're just working out of their house and while that's
true you know in some aspects a lot of businesses have moved that direction and wisely so right but
for us i really think what we want to be doing is we want to be doing what we want to be doing
and we don't necessarily want to be doing what somebody else is telling us to do and we don't
want to have these rules and regiments and and uh you know have to be on the phone a certain amount
of time and that sort of thing that's not really what we were looking for what we were looking for
was time freedom we were looking for being able to take a break when we wanted to take a break
you know if i have to go to the bathroom i mean gosh can i go to the bathroom right
if i want to go out and grab a cup of coffee with a friend for 30 minutes or so why can't i
just go do that right and that's what that that work from home stuff that you're seeing it's
not going to allow you that and so what is you guys is being a virtual assistant or being a va
and so the way the beginning tips let me get into these really quick
on becoming a va is get really good at one thing at least one thing right and it's one thing that
other people don't necessarily want to do so some of you guys are fantastic organizers like you
are like my daughter listen i take my daughter over to the container store and it's like we went
to disney world we really could be saving a lot of money i think in our life because we can just take
her to the container store she doesn't need to go to disney world you know but she loves organizing
and so if you're like her you could probably be hired by somebody to organize their email
or to organize their calendar so i have people that help me
organize my life right they organize so whenever i have speaking gigs come in and podcasts come in
you know i have people that will organize all of that so it comes in they get it scheduled for me
on the schedule i have my links i click on my stuff and i'm where i need to be but i didn't
have to do any of that stuff but i still get to show up for it well yeah they get paid to do
that stuff right so that's a virtual assistant thing to do essentially right so there's that
so whenever we say va it's a virtual assistant that's very general you guys don't hear va and
think oh i can't do that because that you're you're totally shooting yourself in the foot
you can absolutely be a va you need to think of what you can be a va in so have you built websites
and not big grandiose websites right but have you built a website using a builder like maybe square
or uh maybe you've built shopify sites maybe you built a site on godaddy maybe you built a wix
site right did you build any of those sites before well shoot now you can be a va and either help
somebody build their site or help somebody edit their site what va's are hired to do
is things that other people either do not want to do or do not have the time to do
write that down vas get hired to do things that people either do not want to or don't know how to
do or they don't have the time to do it and those people are going to pay someone else to help them
do that that's solving a problem you guys so what you need to do as a beginner tip what you
guys need to do is think of one thing that you really love to do and that you've learned to do
like maybe you're fantastic with email maybe you're fantastic with setting up email campaigns
maybe you're fantastic with setting up websites maybe you're fantastic with
organizing and being an a virtual like executive assistant maybe you're fantastic with helping
people with their day-to-day life right maybe somebody needs you to respond to their email
maybe somebody needs you to respond to different things and you develop a relationship with them
and you know what they would say right that's the kind of stuff that people need help with
so what you would do is you would think of somebody in their business so somebody that
you would love to support so maybe like you have a mentor or somebody that you would love to support
think of all the things that they do in their business
and then insert yourself into one of those spaces and see if you can help them right and if you
can't help them if they already have somebody helping them which may be the case no big deal
what you would do is you would go on to a site like fiverr f-i-v-e-r-r remember
there's two r's there or upwork.com you would go into one of those places you guys
and you would just set up shop and you would say here's what i'm doing here's how i'm doing it
it's as simple as that to become a va you guys and then you let people know i would send an email out
to every contact that i have and i would say hey listen friends i've started this thing
i really love supporting people i really love helping people and so now i'm helping in this
capacity do you or somebody that you know need help with this if so let's talk it's as simple
as that you really just set up shop and then you put yourself out there easy steps to becoming a va
from home on your own time setting your own hours doing your own thing having time freedom
which then is going to equate freedom in your life all right i look forward to what you guys
decide you're going to do let me see what you guys are saying oh my gosh well hello everyone
angela omg i love my va my goal is to be able to work with her forever and ever the fun thing
here is your va's are likely as you grow in scale so if you're in hbr you're going to grow in scale
okay if you're not in hbr you might not i'm just going to be honest with you
okay but if you're an hbr you probably are going to grow in scale here's how you get into hbr if
you're not in hbr yet okay go to live in the dream with martha which is my facebook business page
message us either let's do this case study whatever you want to do it's half off but the half
off ends today because we're coming home from san diego and it was half off while i was in san diego
so today at midnight is the very last time you're going to get this at half off okay so um what you
do is we have a conversation and you can jump into it at half off okay that is how you're
going to scale your business i venture to tell you most people that start a business can't scale it
they don't actually become successful but in hbr you will because you have precisely every single
thing that you need and i continue to add to it your your success is my north star your success
is my number one focus okay so you've got nobody else in your world telling you that i guarantee it
because there's nobody else in the planet that is actually doing that all right so get into a
place that you can feel safe you can feel secure you can feel health and you can feel supported
in your growth all right this is that you pay once and you're in it for life just a heads up
but yeah that's it the idea here is that your va that you have right now
should become your chief operations officer as you scale okay so as your business grows
they should be head of operations your va that you have right now
should be head of operations as you scale and then you have other people under them
that's that's how it really should go as you scale um but that's that for people that are hiring va's
that's that's how that goes but then for those of you that are learning to become a va
understand that is in your trajectory too if you want it to be that is in your trajectory as well
