I started out offering basic VA services back in 2007, not fully realizing the value of what I was providing. But over the years, I've learned some valuable lessons (and definitely made my fair share of mistakes) and transformed my approach to freelancing. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the myth of the "six-figure VA" and sharing the real strategies that have helped me and others in this industry reach higher income levels. Listen in to learn more about Why the "six-figure VA" myth is holding you back Strategies for switching from hourly pricing to value-based pricing The importance of niche specialization and finding your unique selling prop Practical tips for attracting those high-paying clients I want to help you make more money AND find fulfillment and purpose in your work.
