  • Getting More Value from Your Business Payments
    Mar 2 2026

    Most VAs don’t have a revenue problem.

    They have a cash flow timing problem.


    In this episode, Kerrie is joined by Nishane Karunaratne from Pay.com.au to unpack how smart payment strategies can completely change the way you experience money in your business.


    Because paying bills isn’t just admin, it’s leverage.


    They dive into how virtual assistant business owners can:

    • Improve cash flow timing
    • Earn rewards on payments like BAS, rent and supplier invoices
    • Simplify recurring expenses
    • Avoid common mistakes with points and reward systems
    • Build smarter financial habits early


    If you’ve ever felt cash-tight despite making good revenue, this episode will help you rethink how money moves through your business, and how to make it work harder for you.


    Because every point matters.

    And every payment is an opportunity.


    Hit play and start treating your payment systems like the strategic tool they are.

  • Networking is like a High Performance Sport
    Feb 4 2026

    Networking isn’t small talk.

    It’s not business cards.

    And it’s definitely not “selling yourself.”


    It’s a skill and when done well, it’s more like a high performance sport.


    In this episode, Kerrie is joined by Jon Sermon, Head of Partnerships & Alliances at Your Empire Buyers Agents and founder of the BIO networking community, to unpack what real networking actually looks like.


    Together, they break down how to move from awkward, transactional conversations to intentional relationship-building that creates referrals, partnerships, and long-term opportunity.


    Because in a digital world, your network is your leverage and the VAs who thrive aren’t just doers… they’re the people everyone calls first.


    You’ll learn how to:

    • Approach networking with confidence and intention

    • Choose the right rooms for your stage of business

    • Be memorable without being salesy

    • Position yourself as a trusted referral partner

    • Turn conversations into real opportunities

    If you’re ready to stop hiding behind your screen and start building relationships that actually grow your business this episode is your playbook.


    🎙️ Hit play and start treating networking like the leadership skill it really is.

  • The Financial Wake-Up Call Every VA Needs
    Dec 29 2025

    If you’re bringing in revenue but still feel unsure about your money, pricing, or what’s actually left at the end of the month this episode is for you.

    I’m joined by Lauren Evans, Chartered Accountant, Fractional CFO, and founder of Finance Like a Boss, to unpack the financial blind spots holding many VA business owners back.

    We talk profit vs revenue, why being busy doesn’t equal a healthy business, and how to stop guessing when it comes to pricing, tax, and cash flow without jargon or overwhelm.

    In this episode:
    • Profit vs revenue (and why it matters)
    • Pricing mistakes VAs make
    • Setting aside money for tax, super & leave
    • Simple financial systems that actually work
    • How to know if your business is healthy not just busy

    If you’re ready to stop winging it and start running your VA business like a CEO, this is your financial wake-up call.
