In this very special episode of The VA Lifestyle Podcast, I invited my friend Krista Dickson to talk about how she is preparing for her maternity leave as an online business owner!

Many of us in the virtual assistant world are moms first, business owners second. I want to start bringing in more content specifically for moms because I know there are so many of us that started our virtual assistant business or want to start a virtual assistant business so we can be at home with our babies. Me included! Let me know if you enjoy this episode and if you want more mom-related content on The VA Lifestyle Podcast!

Krista is a Course & Launch Strategist, the founder of kristadickson.com, and lover of all things Harry Potter. She helps female entrepreneurs create wildly profitable online courses so they can scale their business while working less.

She is also expecting her first baby very soon! I asked Krista to tell is a bit more about how she is preparing for her first maternity leave in her online business and what she recommends virtual assistants do before they start maternity leave.

I know that starting a virtual assistant business can be super overwhelming. I totally understand because I was there too. I’m a quick starter so I was able to get it up a really rough foundation for my business in a few days based on other experiences I had as a business owner. But, it was rough. I had to learn the hard way how to get things right. I wanted to make money, work the hours I had available and work with clients I liked. Well, I screwed all of those up at first. So, let me share these 3 mistakes I made as well as what I see lots of new virtual assistants make when they are first starting out so that you don’t make these mistakes and can focus on building a strong foundation for your virtual assistant business so you can thrive.

In this episode, I also share details about my VA Career Kickstarter Self-Study program and all the amazing bonuses! If you listen until the end, I share a gift to save you $$!

I also talk about what makes our community so special and possibly the only one of it's kind!

Before we get into the goods on how you can build trust as a virtual assistant before even interacting with clients, I share my highlight of the summer so far and how I manifested an amazing moment with a special critter on my holidays to Tofino! Check out the video on Instagram here! 

Then I will chat about a simple strategy that all VAs need to use to build trust and sell their services! I share everything you need to know so that you can collect the information you need and where to use this information to attract virtual assistant clients who are very likely going to sign with you.  Listen to learn my step by step process for building trust as a virtual assistant!
