Hi everyone 👋
I’m a Virtual Assistant with experience in customer support, inbox management, scheduling, and client communication across fast-paced environments.

I’ve supported both service-based and operations-heavy roles, and I’m currently exploring how VAs can add more value in startup settings.

I’d love to hear from professionals here: what skills or tools have helped you stand out most while working with startups?

Being specific in those skills. How did you support customers? How did you manage an inbox, and what outcome did that have? I find spelling it out stands out best.

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

So, I just joined a startup. No processes, no clear strategy, just one goal: selling. Getting leads. When ever I try to build a strategy, they (founders) swamp me with blablabla stories and not a single action plan. Is this the usual at startups? Also,no real company culture. At all. No HR. I am reaaaally struggling to get a sense of belonging here. What should I expect?? Tia

I don’t know weather we should charge on the higher spectrum because of our experience or lower because of our business infancy.
