In this episode of The Profitable VA Podcast, we’re tackling two of the biggest roadblocks stopping VAs from leveling up—fear and imposter syndrome when choosing a niche.

If you’ve ever thought: 🤔 “What if I pick the wrong niche?” 🤔 “What if I’m not experienced enough to specialize?” 🤔 “What if no one actually wants to pay for this?”

You are NOT alone. These fears keep so many VAs stuck, overworked, and underpaid—but not after today.

By the end of this episode, you’ll: ✔️ Understand why imposter syndrome happens and how to stop letting it control your business. ✔️ Learn why choosing the ‘wrong’ niche is NOT the real problem—it’s staying stuck that costs you the most. ✔️ Get a simple action plan to finally move forward—even if you don’t feel 100% ready.

Because the truth is? You don’t have to be perfect to be profitable.
