If you’ve been in the virtual assistant world for more than a minute, you’ve probably heard coaches talk about “investing in yourself.” But how do you know when it’s actually the right time to hire a virtual business coach, and not just another thing to add to your to-do list or drain your savings?
Let’s break it down.
You’re Stuck in a Loop of DIY Mode
You’ve downloaded the freebies. You’ve binge-watched the webinars. You’ve even saved all the Instagram carousel posts with “how to find VA clients.” But your business still feels… stuck.
Sound familiar? This is a sign that information isn’t your problem, implementation is. Almost all of my clients have all the knowledge they need, but they are lost how what exactly to do with it. A virtual business coach helps you sift through the noise and take the right next step, instead of the 17 possible ones you’re trying to do at once.
You’re Booked (or Burned) Out With No Strategy
Maybe you’ve landed a few clients. You’re making decent money. But you’re working more hours than you thought you would, and somehow still don’t feel in control. You’re reactive, not strategic.
A coach helps you zoom out, look at your offers, schedule, and pricing, and actually design a business that feels good, and grows with you.
You Want to Make More (Without Doubling Your Hours)
This is a major reason VAs turn to coaching. You know you’re capable of more, but you’re unsure how to raise your rates, offer higher-value services, or make your income more stable.
A virtual business coach can help you:
- Audit your offers and pricing
- Identify passive or scalable income opportunities
- Create boundaries and systems to protect your time
You’re Craving Direction (and Maybe a Bit of Hand-Holding)
Let’s be real: when you’re growing a solo business, it can feel like you’re making it all up as you go. A great coach gives you:
- A roadmap tailored to your goals
- Feedback when you’re second-guessing yourself
- A gentle push when you’d rather hide behind your laptop
Sometimes you don’t need another diy freebie. You need someone to say, “Here’s what to do this week. Let’s go.”
You’re Ready to Go All In
This is the biggest green flag.
Coaching isn’t just about learning new strategies, it’s about showing up in a new way. If you’re ready to treat your VA business like a real business (not just a side hustle), coaching can be a powerful accelerator.
You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t need to be making 5K/month already. You just need to be ready to take the next step, with support.
So… Is Now the Time?
If you’re nodding along to everything above, yeah. It might be.
Hiring a virtual business coach isn’t about “fixing” your business. It’s about fast-tracking what you already want: clarity, clients, confidence, and sustainable income.
And if you’re looking for a coach who’s been where you are, and built a VA business that works while traveling full-time, supporting creative clients, and staying booked, I’d love to support you.
