• Lisa Tennant • Season 1 • Episode 2

In this episode of The VA Live Lounge, Lisa and Kirsty are tackling a hot topic that too many VAs learn the hard way: getting paid upfront.

From awkward client convos to chasing invoices like it’s a full-time job (ugh 😩), we’ve been there—and we’re here to make sure you don’t have to be.

We’ll cover:
✅ Why upfront payments protect you and your time
✅ The easiest ways to introduce upfront payment terms
✅ What to say when clients push back
✅ Our favourite tools for smooth payments and contracts
✅ Real talk on boundaries, confidence, and valuing your work

If you've ever felt nervous about asking for money before starting a project, this one’s for you. Tune in, take notes, and start getting paid like the pro you are. 💼💰

Hit play, and let’s make money talk less awkward and way more empowering! 🎧✨
