In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, we are diving into the most exciting part of the journey: getting paid! This is day three of our series, and I’m showing you exactly how to earn your first $5,000 as a virtual assistant in the next 90 days. I truly believe that the VA industry is the ultimate vehicle for freedom, and I want to help you design a life where you never have to choose between being a present mom and building a highly profitable empire. I’m breaking down the actual math of how doable a 5K goal really is—whether you’re charging $25 or $45 an hour. I’m also sharing my "secret sauce" strategy for signing clients from your warm network using market research instead of high-pressure pitching. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to go all-in on your virtual assistant business, this is it! Here is what I cover in this episode: The simple math that proves you can hit your income goals working as little as 1.5 hours a day. How to leverage your "warm network" to find your first virtual assistant clients without feeling "salesy." My secret neuroscience hack for priming potential clients to realize they need your support. The crucial difference between being "half-in" and putting yourself on the line (and why signing up for the "race" changes everything). A complete 90-day game plan to take your VA business from foundation to first retainer client. Why "success leaves clues" and how to study industry leaders to collapse your timeline to success. A sneak peek into the VA Leadership Academy and our brand new tech platform that finds clients for you! I’m proof that you can hit seven figures from your kids' playroom, and today I’m reaching my hand back to show you the way. It’s time to claim your identity as a booked-out virtual assistant. Let’s get you paid!
