Ep212 The Workweek Reality for VAs: Why You Can't Bill Every Hour You Work

Before stepping foot into the VA space we need for everyone to understand the difference between billable and non-billable work.

Just cos you may be available to work X number of hours a week, doesn’t mean all of those hours will be spent supporting clients.  Anyone that tells you otherwise is delulu.

The reality is, in order to make this VA gig a profitable, successful one where you’re not working more hours than you were in your 9-5 and you're earning more than minimum wage, you can't be spending 100% of your available working hours on billable client work.

It's time to take your head out of the clouds when it comes to your available working hours and how they will be spent so you're accurate when forecasting your future revenue.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• The percentage of your time you’ll need to spend on non-billable work as a Freelancer and Agency Owner.
• The non billable tasks you need to make a priority.
• Why your non billable hours increase even more as an Agency Owner.
• Why working ON your business is equally as important as working IN your business.
• How to ensure you’re pricing profitably, working at capacity and avoiding the dreaded Feast and Famine Cycle.
