The VA Live Lounge

The VA world isn’t what it was in 2020 — and that’s a good thing. In this episode of The VA Live Lounge, we’re talking about how the virtual assistant business model has evolved, what trends are shaping 2026, and what strategies are still going strong.
We cover:
✅ What’s out in 2026 (spoiler: hustling 24/7 and charging by the hour)
✅ What’s in right now — including productised services, AI support, and systems that sell for you
✅ The tools, boundaries, and mindsets you need to grow without burning out
✅ Our honest thoughts on where the industry is headed (and how we’re adapting)
Whether you’re just starting out or rethinking how you run your VA business, this episode is your 2026 reality check — and your permission slip to build smarter.
🎧 Tune in now and start creating a business that works for you this year.
