About this episode
Warning! F-bombs ahead!
The topic of holidays never used to be a subject worthy of our rants. Oh, how things have changed!
3 years ago, when we first started coaching virtual assistants, we had NO clue as to the mind blowing number of VAs NOT taking regular time off.
But nowadays every week we’re hearing stories of VAs who are burnt out and falling out of love with their clients and businesses.
More often than not these same VAs have not taken a proper holiday (let along a long weekend off!) in years! YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!
This is absolutely unacceptable.
Stop putting your clients’ business growth and personal wellbeing before your own!
There's a very good reason that most countries have laws ensuring they are giving their employees regular time off.
You did not come into the VA space to have LESS freedom and flexibility than you did as an employee.
NO. MORE. EXCUSES!
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why there is no excuses for not taking regular time off.
- How you can regularly take holidays without losing income or neglecting your clients.
- What will happen if you continue to put your client’s health and wellbeing before your own.
Just starting out on your VA journey?
Are you an established VA looking to scale?
