What to say on your first discovery call (even if you're nervous)

Your first discovery call as a virtual assistant can feel like a lot — sweaty palms, racing thoughts, and wondering if you’re going to completely blank when it’s your turn to talk. Trust me, I’ve been there.But here’s the truth: you don’t need a perfect pitch or years of experience. You just need a little structure, a little prep, and a whole lot of belief in yourself. This episode will walk you through exactly what to say, how to say it, and why these calls don’t have to feel like job interviews. HIGHLIGHTS<ul><li>Why most new VAs get stuck overthinking discovery calls</li><li>The real goal of a discovery call (spoiler: it’s not closing the deal)</li><li>Exactly how to introduce yourself without sounding awkward</li><li>What to say when you’re not sure how to explain your services</li><li>Simple ways to guide the conversation and end with confidence</li></ul> RESOURCES + LINKS<ul><li>Take the quiz to find out what VA service is right for you – <a href="https://www.aubreemalick.com/quiz" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">aubreemalick.com/quiz</a></li><li>Watch the free training – <a href="https://www.aubreemalick.com/freetraining" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">aubreemalick.com/freetraining</a></li><li><a href="https://aubreemalick.thrivecart.com/coaching-call/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Book a 1:1 coaching call with me</a></li><li>Follow me on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@aubreemalick?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/aubreemalick/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></li></ul>

How I'm rebuilding my motivation after feeling stuck

Even after years in business, you can still find yourself in a season where the motivation just… isn’t there. You’re showing up, but it feels heavy. You know what to do, but you don’t feel like doing it. And you start wondering if you’ve lost your spark or if something’s wrong with you.In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what my own stuck season has looked like — and how I’m slowly, intentionally rebuilding my motivation from the inside out. If you’ve felt off, quiet, or disconnected from your business lately, this is your reminder that you’re not alone. HIGHLIGHTS:<ul><li>What “stuck” looked like for me (and why it wasn’t burnout)</li><li>Why I didn’t blow it all up or start over — and what I did instead</li><li>How I’m reconnecting to purpose, joy, and momentum</li><li>Small things I’m doing differently in this season</li><li>A reminder that rebuilding doesn’t mean starting from scratch</li></ul> RESOURCES + LINKS<ul><li>Take the quiz to find out what VA service is right for you – <a href="https://www.aubreemalick.com/quiz" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">aubreemalick.com/quiz</a></li><li>Watch the free training – <a href="https://www.aubreemalick.com/freetraining" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">aubreemalick.com/freetraining</a></li><li><a href="https://aubreemalick.thrivecart.com/coaching-call/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Book a 1:1 coaching call with me</a></li><li>Follow me on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@aubreemalick?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/aubreemalick/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></li></ul>

You don't need a new plan - you need to stick with the one you started

If you’ve been second-guessing everything lately — your offers, your niche, your entire plan for growing your VA business — this episode is your gentle reminder: you don’t need to scrap what you’ve built. You just need to give it time to work.Inside this short but powerful episode, I’m walking you through the mindset shift that changed everything for me when I was tempted to “start over” every time I thought "I'm just not cut out for this." You’ll hear what to focus on instead of burning everything to the ground, how to recognize real progress, and why sticking with your plan is sometimes the boldest move you can make. HIGHLIGHTS: <ul><li>Why we tend to hit “reset” too quickly when things feel unclear</li><li>How to recognize the difference between a broken plan and a slow build</li><li>The small wins that signal momentum (even if you can’t see the full picture yet)</li><li>Why I recommend a 90-day window before making any big changes</li><li>A pep talk for anyone who’s tempted to burn it all down and start fresh</li></ul> RESOURCES + LINKS<ul><li>Take the quiz to find out what VA service is right for you – <a href="https://www.aubreemalick.com/quiz" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">aubreemalick.com/quiz</a></li><li>Watch the free training – <a href="https://www.aubreemalick.com/freetraining" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">aubreemalick.com/freetraining</a></li><li><a href="https://aubreemalick.thrivecart.com/coaching-call/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Book a 1:1 coaching call with me</a></li><li>Follow me on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@aubreemalick?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/aubreemalick/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></li></ul>
