Nathan, founder of Transform U Coaching, appeared successful but felt overwhelmed and unfulfilled. Leading hundreds each week, burnout and self-doubt took a toll on him. A few years ago, the constant demands drained him emotionally. But coaching led to a breakthrough—uncovering 7 keys to success that transformed his life. These keys became the foundation of The Transformation Formula, now helping others achieve their own breakthrough
The Need for the Right Support
“Nathan’s journey with his VAs wasn’t just about finding help—it was about finding the right fit. Before hiring his first VA, Nathan faced some major challenges in his business that were draining his time and energy.”
Technology: Nathan admits, “Technology is not my best friend; I need someone to help me with this.” His struggle with technology added unnecessary stress and took time away from the core aspects of his business.
Tasks He Didn’t Enjoy: Nathan didn’t enjoy the administrative work, repetitive tasks, editing videos, and sourcing photos for content. These were activities that drained him without adding value to his core goals of coaching and leading others.
Lead Generation: One of Nathan’s biggest challenges was lead generation. It consumed a lot of his time, leaving him little room to focus on what mattered most—building relationships and growing his coaching practice.
Nathan realised that he needed a virtual assistant (VA) who could alleviate these tasks and handle his social media to free up his time. However, it wasn’t just about hiring a VA; it was about finding the right one to match his specific needs.
The First VA: A Step in the Right Direction
Nathan hired his first VA on September 18, 2023, and the results were immediate. The new VA brought a fresh perspective and helped Nathan streamline key areas of his business.
Achievements in the First Month:
- Social media was consistently posted, bringing much-needed consistency to Nathan’s online presence.
- Administrative systems were updated and revamped, freeing up time for Nathan to focus on more strategic tasks.
- The sales funnel and nurture sequence were upgraded, ensuring a more efficient conversion process for leads.
Achievements in the Third Month:
By month three, Nathan’s VA freed up time for networking and sales. Social media grew, a reusable content bank was created, and the website was updated. The email list expanded, supporting lead generation goals.
Overall Assessment:
Nathan rated his first VA 6/6 for their positive attitude, proactivity, and consistency. Despite the success, their working styles didn’t align, leading to a parting of ways. It was a valuable lesson in finding the right long-term fit
The Second VA: Trying Again
On March 25, 2024, Nathan brought in his second VA, hoping to find a better match for his needs. This VA was enthusiastic, driven, and had a fresh approach to Nathan’s business operations.
Achievements in the First Month:
- The second VA developed brochures to enhance Transform U’s marketing materials.
- They also created a social media plan, helping Nathan to focus on content strategy rather than the daily management of posts.
Overall Assessment:
While this VA brought enthusiasm, tenacity, and resilience to the table, Nathan rated them 5/6. Their creativity and drive helped move things forward, but the partnership didn’t feel like the perfect fit. It wasn’t about the VA’s abilities but the alignment of working styles. The decision was made to part ways after three months, reinforcing the importance of mutual fit in the long term.
The Third VA: Finding the Perfect Fit
“The Right Match for Lasting Success.”
Nathan’s third VA, who started on June 10, 2024, was a game-changer for his business. This VA was not only highly skilled but also aligned with Nathan’s work style and goals.
Achievements in the First Month:
- The website was completely updated, with a fresh, more professional look and feel.
- Consistent social media posting helped to maintain an active presence and engage Nathan’s community.
- Administrative files were organized and updated, improving the overall efficiency of the business.
- A social media content calendar was developed, streamlining the process of creating and scheduling posts.
Achievements in the Third Month:
By the third month, Nathan saw a significant transformation in his business. The website underwent further development, and social media began to take on a more cohesive and engaging look.
This VA freed up over 20 hours per week for Nathan, allowing him to focus on his passion for coaching and serving his clients.
Overall Assessment:
Nathan rated his third VA 6/6.This VA was a perfect fit for Transform U Coaching, and their work has allowed Nathan to experience true freedom in his business.
The Right VA for Nathan’s Breakthrough
Nathan’s journey to success was a process of trial and error in finding the right support. His first two VAs brought valuable lessons, but it wasn’t until he found the third VA that things truly clicked. This VA allowed Nathan to break free from burnout, streamline his business operations, and focus on what he loves most—helping others achieve their breakthroughs.
Transform U Coaching continues to thrive, thanks to the perfect match between Nathan and his VA, proving that success is not just about what you do but who you do it with.
