Loading ...You know, there are lots of people out there who aren't doing you any favors.
It's especially unhelpful that there are so-called "industry leaders" telling Virtual Assistants–and your marketplace–that VAs are "virtual staff."
Gawd, this shit just drives me bananas! It's one of the reasons I loathe using the term "industry leader." Because every ol' loser trying to pick your pockets rolls out of bed and decides to call themselves an industry leader. Lord almighty!
You are NOT virtual staff. And don't let any "industry leader" out there get away with calling you that or teaching your marketplace to view you as such. You will never, ever make any kind of real money or a freedom-filled life if you allow youself to work with clients as if you were still an employee.
You are a separate business entity. If you are part of a client's staff, guess what? You're an employee!
If you want to earn well–6 figures even!–and create a business where you actually do get to have a life and time to enjoy it, you have got to get concious about what your relationship with clients is, the mindset you have about your work together, as well as how you work with your clients. Otherwise, it sets up a dynamic that will just keep you underearning and slaving away.
