Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Christine Campbell Rapin
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.
My very special guest today is Melissa Smith ...
Melissa Smith is the Founder and CEO of the Association of Virtual Assistants and The PVA. She is an accomplished author and mentor, recognized for her expertise in the virtual assistant industry. Melissa has been featured by major media outlets and has received numerous accolades as a trailblazing female entrepreneur.
She started her virtual assistant business to care for her daughter, initially facing challenges but finding success by niching down and providing value to clients. Melissa emphasizes the importance of consistency, building relationships, and remaining open to change in order to maintain a successful and enjoyable business.
Key Moments:
- Niche down to a very specific service that people love to pay you for. Focus on the smallest intersection point that you can solve.
- Your first clients are yourself. If you don't like something, you can't do it authentically.
- Consistency creates the best results. Don't do short-term challenges, build long-term sustainable habits.
- Focus on creating value, not just sales. Build relationships over time.
- You're often your own best client. Find the thing that comes naturally to you.
- Course correct often. Have a long-term plan but be open to changing along the way.
- The little things matter. Find joy and fun in your business.
- Have a coach to help keep you accountable and on track.
- Ask yourself what still centers you and brings you joy in your business.
- Make your business an alignment with who you truly are.
