One of the most common doubts moms have about starting virtual assistant work isn’t about skills, it’s about time. When your days are broken into short stretches between responsibilities, it can feel unrealistic to believe those moments could ever translate into real income.

In this episode, Laura Nicole breaks down why those small pockets of time are not something you need to “outgrow” before you can start earning. She walks through how brief work sessions throughout the day can add up faster than you think, and why focusing on total hours worked (not perfectly blocked schedules) changes everything.

If you’ve ever wondered how working 10 or 15 minutes at a time could possibly make a difference financially, this conversation will help you see your schedule and your earning potential in a whole new way.

In this episode, Laura Nicole will discuss:

• 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 have

One of the hardest truths about becoming a virtual assistant is also one of the most freeing: signing clients is a numbers game.

And when you don’t understand the numbers, it’s easy to assume something is wrong with you when you’re not signing clients as fast as you’d like to.

In this episode, Laura Nicole breaks down why talking to “only” 10 or 15 potential clients isn’t a failure, it’s just not enough data yet. She explains how networking actually works, why conversion rates matter, and how understanding the math behind client signing can instantly take the emotion and self-doubt out of the process.

If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe this just isn’t working for me,” this conversation will give you a much-needed mindset shift and a practical way forward.

In this episode, Laura Nicole will discuss:

• 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 client

Want a simple, repeatable way to start more client conversations? Laura teaches her 15-Minute Networking Method inside the Client Magnet Method, a mini course designed to help you find ideal clients, start natural conversations, and move confidently toward discovery calls.
