Starting At The Top for Virtual Assistants.

In 2005 I had nothing but a laptop and a couple of suitcases of clothes, and I knew one thing for sure - I never wanted another 9-5 'job' or to be tied down to one place. I write this post now, as a 3 location independent woman, who's currently running a business and raising a family of 5 kids (it's not all sunshine and cocktails you know... well, actually it is a lot of the time ;-) I've been through an array of challenges, ups and downs, major successes, epic fails and served over 100 clients and hundreds of customers to build a multi-6 figure business.

This reminds me of a passage from an incredible business coach called Marc Winn, and there's something he said to me in an interview many years ago, that I've never forgotten, and this is it...

"The uber successful people are where they are because of how big they can think, and really there’s less competition the higher up you go. So the guys who really succeed really quickly are the ones that think at the top, they don’t think at the bottom. A good classic is someone starts up in business, probably in the onset and they say, “I’m going to work with small businesses,” and it’s like what everybody is feeding them at the bottom. Everybody is working for small businesses and things like that, so immediately your price point goes down and you’re saying well actually you can technically use the same skills, so let’s say for argument’s sake, 'I’m going to be a VA for a billionaire, what do I have to do to achieve that?' Immediately the way you think about what is it you’re going to do radically transforms your ability to succeed.

I think there’s a lot of people that want to start at the bottom for some reason to gain confidence when actually in some ways it’s easy to start at the top. So really successful people just think they’re going to start at the top, go for it and then worry about how to do it later. They’ll gradually work out a way."

Wise words... When I created 1nSourcing, I'd like you to see it as thinking at the top. You may of heard me mention 1nSourcing before...

THE HYBRID OUTSOURCING MODEL - 1NSOURCING

I haven't reinvented the wheel, but I've created a hybrid - a hybrid of the best bits from all the outsourcing solutions out there, to create something that works well for everyone involved, the clients and the VA's. As always I put this to the test in my own business, I have the details of how it works, and of course, up-to-date income reports for you guys to reassure you with the proof. It's a simple, elegant way of providing services, that solves the real key problems that VA's face in this industry.

This 1nSourcing model has the ability to shift how we sell and provide services.

IT'S SIMPLE.

Providing services online can give you a headache when there's so much to grasp - in this model, we break it down into single digits so your to-do list for building up to a multi-6 figure business (and beyond, but multi-6 is all I have evidence of now) becomes straightforward and easy to grasp.

IT SERVES ALL INDEPENDENT VA'S.

No man or woman gets left behind - I really hate competitiveness, like it's all a race to get the client first - it's not in my nature to be competitive but to work together. In this model is a place for every kind of VA - there are 3 groups of people in the industry, this model caters to 2 of these groups, Entrepreneurs and their team members, the VAs who are independent, and the 3rd group are usually employees - Basically, if you're not employed as a VA in the traditional sense, and you're independent then there is a place for you in this model - even if you have no prior clients.

IT'S PROFITABLE.

The ongoing problem with charging rates is that most VAs charge by the hour, package, service or the task and feel uncomfortable quoting larger numbers through fear the client may pick it apart and come to the conclusion it may be 'too pricey' - "OMG I'm not paying $X for that when I could get it for $X somewhere else" type thing, even the value based pricing model has kinks to iron out when trying to explain to the client what they're paying for, it can often feel like trying to justify yourself or educate people who don't quite get it to see the value in it, again not something I feel we should need to do, it would be easier if it was obvious - and I can show you how to make it obvious - this is the cream of this hybrid model, it completely eliminates the 'conclusions' that clients may jump to about pricing and no matter what you charge, it will make your service obviously of incredible value - which of course should be all true, especially if you follow my training 😉 

Awesome, right... that's a huge breakthrough.

So now, I'm on another mission, whether you're just starting out with no clients, or you have developed a team, I can guide you and help you establish your place in 1nSourcing - this is so you can have a profitable, freedom-based online business, so you can be there for your family, travel, and help clients around the world to simplify and streamline their businesses, so you can become a pioneer for a new breed of online service provider, a 1nSourcer, and do it all in the most elegant way I know how.

We needed some sort of dramatic music with that last paragraph!

SO NOW I BET YOU'RE WONDERING "GREAT - NOW WHAT?"

Good question...
