Today we’re talking about:
How Gina made the transition to self-employed first as a freelance writer, then as a Virtual Assistant. How Gina rearranged her schedule to work on her side hustle. Why Gina decided to create a course teaching others how to build a successful VA business. How Gina stands out with her marketing, and some niches that VA’s aren’t currently targeting that could be great opportunities for you. Traits of an ideal Virtual Assistant Why you should make mistakes and embrace failure in your side hustle. How to figure out your hourly rate. Gina’s advice for someone who is struggling to grow their side hustle. The one belief Gina had to change about herself to get where she is today.My favorite quotes from Gina:
“I’m helping people realize their goals and their dreams while being authentic and real at the same time.” “Find your kind of people by showing yourself. Including your flaws, you’ll connect the most when you are authentically you.” “Position yourself [to your ideal clients] as an investment and not an expense.” “The mistakes and failures are where you learn the most.” “[Being] business-minded is a learned skill and trait.” “If you don’t dream big, you’re not going to get big results.”Connect with Gina:
