Virtual Assistants Who Earn You Money | A Lyrical TeleCall #3
The ‘Money, Meaning & Beyond’ Book Festival call this week was a definite biggie, but hopefully (with the addition of some lovely musical accompaniment by the mystery participant who put us on hold) you found it more uplifting than heavy. Or should I say melodic, to borrow a phrase? 
Remember the 10 Differences between VA’s who make you money and VA’s who cost you, are a guideline for navigating a long-term sustainable relationship with a valued team member. Whether you are about to start a new relationship with a VA or you have an existing VA whose relationship you want to solidify…which of the 10 differences do you think you can begin digesting more fully now?
Post your comment/insight here so that:
- you can extend your learning beyond the time we spent together ….remember information is just information until you apply it to your own situation, and because the call was unusually non-interactive, this is your chance to speak up and be heard!
- you can set an intention or goal in the public view as to what you will do – even if it’s just ‘think’ or ‘absorb’ – with this information; Tina and I will both continue to rove the comments and reply back to any questions
And finally…by posting…
- you can enter yourself in this week’s prize drawing for a full copy of the home-study course called ‘Pink Spoon Marketing‘ a 197 page workbook and 5 CDs (retain value $497) Pink Spoon Marketing represents over 5 years of coaching real-live businesses using the product funnel model…all packaged up in a handy-dandy binder.
As mentioned on the call, if we have more than 25 posts, we’ll raffle two of these prizes, if we have 25 or fewer, we’ll raffle one. Until next week, enjoy!
Hi!
Just got your email extending contest & Creating What Matters-all put in my Andrea folder!
But, that’s not why I write. My VA-OBM in the making- wrote me with ways to do marketing! How cool is that? We over-communicate! She’s just a dream & I’m her Ideal Client. And hearing your new book idea-confirmed my own,thanks!
Won an Outstanding Team award & comped into product class-perfect! So, now I have my product idea!
Keep writing & laughing-it’s so great!
I have another question:
What can you do to assure you’re attracting VA’s with an ‘entrepreneurial spirit?’ I ask because I feel that’s a integral quality I want in my VA’s. Someone who isn’t just looking for an hourly job but who’s excited to be paid commensurate with the results they produce. Sure, I can understand a ‘base payment schedule’ but where are the VA’s who say, “Yes, when I produce the desired results, that’s where I want most of my compensation to come from.”
After all, aren’t we self employed coaches paid based on our results? How do we find/attract such VA’s?
Simply and purposefully,
BRAD

I’m really enjoying the series! The 30 ways to get your list to respond were great, and I really want to be asking more questions, being more conversational and a bit provocative!
About the VA, I have one that I think I parachuted in. Good news is that we’re focusing on 1 project, and she does seem open to making a biz out of it for herself. I plan to share the 10 points in the mode of helpng her grow her biz as a VA. WE;ll see where it goes.
Please enter me in the drawing!
Thanks, Sarah Gillen
