  Building a VA Business from the Inside Out with Hannah Goodman

  Jul 6, 202632 min

  Most advice about building a VA business tells you what to do. It rarely tells you whether it applies to your business specifically. In Part 2 of our mini-series, Hannah Goodman walks through the VA side of the partnership — how to figure out your services, find your niche, and land those first clients without reinventing the wheel. Drawing on her experience as both a successful VA and mentor, Hannah shares practical advice to help aspiring virtual assistants avoid common mistakes and create a flexible business that fits their lifestyle. In this conversation between two business-owners who've learned these lessons firsthand, we talk about: why your best niche is probably hiding in your professional history, why niching down gets you more clients, not fewer, and how to find your first client without starting from scratch.

  Why the Reasoning Matters More Than the Decision

  Jun 17, 20266 minS3

  We recently looked at why action sometimes feels hard, even when the decision is clear (S03E11). But does it matter what the reason behind the decision is, if the decision itself doesn’t change? In this episode, we look at the question from two perspectives. First, from the perspective of personal decisions on pivotal times in our careers. Then, what happens when we anchor the same decision to different reasons at the leadership level—and the potential fallout from both scenarios. Connect with Julianna: LinkedIn Newsletter

  Why Inaction Persists Even When the Decision Is Clear

  May 5, 202621 minS3

  <p>There is a particular kind of frustration that shows up when you’ve made a decision, the path forward is obvious, and yet nothing moves.</p><p>This isn’t a capability problem. It isn’t a discipline problem. And it rarely improves with more structure or pressure.</p><p>Across leadership contexts, what presents as procrastination or indecision often traces back to something more precise: an unexamined assumption, a misaligned expectation, or a perceived risk that hasn’t been fully surfaced. </p><p>Until that layer is seen clearly, we stall—sometimes quietly, sometimes with a constant feeling of dread.<...

  Accountability as the Currency of Trust with Hanna Bauer

  Apr 6, 202638 minS3

  <p>Hanna Bauer introduces a perspective on leadership that reframes accountability as the underlying structure that makes trust possible. Rather than treating it as corrective or punitive, she positions it as a shared system that enables alignment, clarity, and forward movement.</p><p><br></p><p>The conversation moves beyond accountability as individual discipline and into how it is shaped between people. We explore how unclear expectations and unspoken standards quietly erode trust, and what begins to shift when accountability is treated as something shared rather than enforced.</p><p><br></p><p>Connect with Hanna:</p><p>Website: https...
