Managing Boundaries With Clients

Rebel Energy

Something I struggled with a lot as a new VA was that I was addicted to people pleasing. Maybe that sounds familiar. I’m in recovery now and it’s better, but I had to learn some hard lessons to get there.

Something I often see with my Rock Solid Academy clients is that the clients they land don’t really understand what to do with a VA and aren’t really ready for one. Your job is to complete tasks delegated to you… you are not a business coach.

Sometimes clients don’t understand that the processes you’re setting in place now won’t really show results for 6 weeks. Clients need to be educated on what you’ll be doing, how long results will take, and what they need to be doing to put the rest of the puzzle together.

Sometimes you’ll have to have the hard conversations so that your clients really understand the scope of your work. Your job as a virtual assistant is not to do all the market research and revamp their marketing strategy. If they don’t have a solid system set up already, they need a business coach, not a VA.
