Today, I wanted to share some news that I decided to take a break from podcasting for a little bit. I realized that I needed some time to recharge and to get reinspired.

Building a business as an introvert can be confusing and overwhelming. Most business and marketing advice out there is based on extroverted personalities and can cause introverts to shut down and simply remain small.

But introverts can thrive as entrepreneurs. The trick is creating a business that works with your strengths and desires.

In this episode, I will share 4 of my favorite personality tests to help you uncover your strengths, values, beliefs, and personality traits so that you can build a business that supports your introverted nature.

Business boundaries are important for running your business smoothly, reserving your energy, reducing anxiety and stress, and mental health.

Plus, they help you develop harmonious working relationships with your clients.

If you don’t have clear policies, you risk the chance of working on days you don’t want to, working hours you don’t want to, and putting up with things you shouldn’t (like a non-paying client).

In this episode, I cover 4 important policies you need to have in place before you take on any clients. I’ll also discuss what to do if a client is pushing those boundaries or if you didn’t create any before working with a client and you’re discovering you really need to.

Your website is a powerful marketing tool that will help you find clients and make money. Done right, potential clients will want to learn more about your services. Done wrong, you risk your ideal client clicking away from your site, never to be seen again.

There are common website mistakes that I see VAs make, and today I’m going to talk about 10 of them. So if you have a website or if you’re about to create yours, listen up!

I hear a lot of VAs talk about having imposter syndrome. They feel like they don’t know what they’re doing, that their skills aren’t good enough to charge money, or that they need to be an expert to help clients.

It's a crippling feeling that can hold VAs back from launching and growing their business. Introverts are more prone to imposter syndrome too.

In this episode, I talk about what imposter syndrome is, ways to overcome it, and real-life examples from VAs I've mentored.

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.
