You’re still doing it manually, aren’t you? 😅

You sit down to work, and suddenly your day disappears into follow-ups, reminders, manual messages, admin tasks, and all the little things that somehow keep landing back on your plate.

Someone comments on your post, you mean to reply, then life happens... This happens to me all the time! I'm just all over social media...

Someone DMs asking for your service, lead magnet you are promoting or training you are hosting... and by the time you see it, they’ve already moved on.

You copy and paste the same links into DMs at 9pm, even though you already worked all day.

I'm saying this with all of the love, but you don't have a system that is here to support your growth. Smart business owners use systems to do heavy lifting for them.

Tomorrow, we’re showing you how to fix it inside our free training:

**How to Run Your Business on Autopilot and Save at Least 5 Hours a Week of Your Time**

📅 Tomorrow, 12PM MST / 2PM EST, Live Inside Coach Academy Facebook Group!

Inside this training, we’ll walk you through how to simplify the backend of your business so it stops depending on you doing everything manually. We will cover:

✔️ How to spot the manual tasks that are quietly eating up your time every week
✔️ How to use automation to handle repetitive admin without making your business feel robotic
✔️ How to create smoother client communication and follow-up systems
✔️ How to organise your backend so fewer things slip through the cracks
✔️ How to use simple systems to save at least 5 hours a week

No boring theory or complicated tech talk.

Just practical examples you can actually use in your business.

If you’ve ever said, “I just need someone to show me how this is supposed to work,” this training is for you.

Did you know that you can save 5 hours of your time every single week with a simple automation?

If you are like most business owners right now, you are focusing on too many shiny objects and your every single day is full with daily tasks that you simply have to complete to grow your business?

I'm so excited to announce that next week we are hosting a brand new masterclass where we will talk How to run your business on autopilot and save at least 5 hours a week of your time.

I have been in the online business space long enough to see the same pattern play out over and over again.

Hardworking business owners doing everything manually, losing leads they worked hard to attract, and watching their week disappear into tasks a simple automation could handle.

It is time to fix that for good.

Loved the content I have been sharing? This masterclass is everything, but live and going ten times deeper.

The training is happening LIVE and in order to get your spot and receive the exclusive live gift you will need to register for free!

How to price retainers as a VA?

I see so many VAs overcomplicating this part or simply picking a number and hoping it makes sense.

Retainers are not random numbers and they are definitely not based on what “feels affordable” to the client.

There is a structure behind it.

If you’ve been second-guessing your pricing or changing it every time you get on a call, this reel is for you!

And make sure to follow me for more tech & VA tips ;)

How does an OBM support growth without burning out the team?

What I’ve seen in practice is that most business owners decide to hire an OBM when things are already stretched, when the team is at 100% capacity, everyone is busy, deadlines are tight, and growth feels messy instead of structured 😅

And usually, burnout didn’t happen overnight.

When strategies are changing weekly because there is a strong desire to grow fast, so the team moves from one direction to another, rebuilding funnels, adjusting processes, reworking tasks that were just completed, which slowly drains energy and focus 🔄

It also happens when there is no clear ownership, no defined responsibilities, and no real visibility over what actually moves the business forward.

So tasks get completed, reports get created but not reviewed, and a lot of work lives inside Asana or ClickUp without giving you any results.

When an OBM steps in, we don’t just add more management, we create structure by clarifying direction, defining ownership, aligning daily tasks with actual business goals, removing activities that do not convert, and building processes that allow the team to work with focus instead of constant urgency.

Growth without structure creates burnout, and gives your team the space to actually perform at their best without feeling like they are constantly catching up.

How to Avoid Burnout as a VA (Before You Start Resenting Your Clients)

Burnout in the VA industry is soooo frequent and it usually happens because a capable VA tender to say yes too many times.

For over 10 years now I see this pattern repeating.

Your VA business starts getting traction, new clients are coming in, and instead of pausing to calculate capacity, you keeps accepting projects because filling up the client roster feels like security.

What quietly gets ignored in the process is time ⏳

When you don’t properly organize your workload, you slowly move yourself into panic mode.

Deadlines start overlapping, constant slack notifications are annoying, and you finish one task already thinking about the next one.

At this point your income looks good on paper, but you don’t feel satisfied because you are constantly catching up.

And that’s the moment when resentment starts building up...

If you want to avoid burnout before it happens, there are a few things that need to be structured from the beginning.

First, boundaries should be set on the onboarding call, not three months later when you are already overwhelmed. Working hours, communication channels, turnaround time, and what is not included in your service should be clearly stated before work begins. Most boundary problems are created at the start (trust me, I learned this in harder way)

Second, you need a project management tool that gives you visibility over everything you are working on. When tasks live in emails, DMs, and voice notes, your brain becomes the main operating system. That is exhausting. A centralized tool allows you to see your real capacity instead of relying on memory 📋

Third, schedule a monthly workload review. Look at how many hours you are actually working, which clients you really enjoy working with and which ones are just adding more stress to your plate. Growth sometimes means letting go of high demanding clients that drain your energy, even if they pay well.

Avoiding burnout is essential in order to grow your business and move it to the next step.

The VAs who build long term stability are not the ones who take the most clients, they are the ones who build systems around their time.

There is nothing more uncomfortable than refreshing your inbox and seeing silence.

You post. You apply. You send proposals. And then nothing. And you start spiraling… am I bad? Is market saturated? Is everyone better than me? Should I just go back to safe job?

I had that phase again recently when I decided to test proposal process after 5 years. I sent around 30 proposals in one week. And I tracked every single one in GHL like analytical nerd that I am 😂 11 responsive. 6 appointments booked. 2 accepted. 1 rejected because price too high. That’s not magic. That’s numbers.

Consistency doesn’t come from hoping one post goes viral. It comes from building system that generates conversations. That means three lanes minimum:

1️⃣ Ongoing visibility on social media where you openly say what you do. Not hinting. Not being shy.
2️⃣ Active applications and proposals where you actually read the job description and customize your response. Two or three strong proposals per hour max. If you’re sending 10 per hour, they are weak.
3️⃣ Referral mechanism. Your existing clients should know they get incentive for referring you. Discount. Free hours. Something.

And here is uncomfortable part… most VAs are inconsistent with their own marketing. They go hard one week. Then disappear two weeks. Then complain pipeline is empty.

When I say first priority every day is your business, I mean it. Even when fully booked. Even when tired. Even when you think you don’t need more clients. Because the moment your biggest client leaves, and they will sometimes, you don’t want to panic and start from zero.

Consistent clients come from consistent visibility + consistent follow up. Follow up is underrated. So many deals close after 2nd or 3rd touch. But ego tells you “if they wanted it, they would reply immediately”.

If you feel like you are doing a lot but pipeline is unstable, comment PIPELINE and let’s analyze what’s missing in your structure.

When someone says “let me think about it,” they’ve already decided🤷‍♀️

How many times have you hosted a sales call, explained everything, answered questions, felt that connection, and in your head you were already thinking about onboarding when cliend said “Let me think about it.”

And they never come back.😅

This is one of the most common objections in the online space. So I did some digging and here are the most common reasons why people use it 👇

First, they are scared of the transformation.

During the call they start realizing what actually needs to change. It is not just about buying your program or hiring you. It is about changing habits, routines, mindset, priorities.

Sometimes that realization hits like a cold shower 🚿 Not everyone is ready for the path required to reach the result, even if they want the outcome.

They cannot clearly predict their experience inside your offer.

If someone does not see what working with you will actually look like week by week, they feel uncertain. Uncertainty creates hesitation. When the journey feels blurry, “let me think about it” becomes a safe exit.

They already decided no, but they do not want to say it directly.

Rejection is uncomfortable on both sides 🤷‍♀️ So instead of saying “this is not for me,” they delay the answer. However their silence usually confirms the decision.

Understanding this is important, so you can adjust your sales process and face the objection before it even appears.

The more clearly you communicate the transformation, the process, and the expectations, the fewer “let me think about it” conversations you will have.

Sometimes I sit down to write an email and I overthink it so much that I almost close the laptop.

What if it’s not valuable enough? What if I already said this before? What if they’re bored of me? 🤦‍♀️

And then I remember something I learned the hard way… people don’t unsubscribe because you repeat yourself. They unsubscribe because they don’t see relevance.

A while ago I audited a client’s email marketing. She had beautiful newsletters. Designed. Structured. “Professional.” And still no sales. When I asked her what she usually writes about she said, “Updates. Inspiration. A little bit of industry news.”

That’s the problem.

Your email list is not there for updates. They are there because they have a problem. Something that bothers them enough to give you their email.

And instead of speaking directly to that discomfort, we start being polite. Neutral. Safe.

If your audience downloaded a lead magnet about increasing visibility and your emails suddenly talk about random productivity hacks, that disconnect kills trust slowly. Not dramatically. Slowly.

What should you email about? The same pain point from 10 angles. The same transformation from different layers. The objections they didn’t even articulate yet.

And yes, you will feel repetitive.

But repetition builds authority.

Your emails should rotate between:

• Education that moves them one step forward
• Stories that show you walked the path
• Behind the scenes experiments
• Objection handling
• Soft and direct offers

If you are constantly “coming up with something new,” maybe that’s the issue.

Email is not about novelty. It’s about depth. 📩

If you’re stuck on what to write next, tell me your niche in the comments and I’ll tell you the angle I would start with.
