Why attend?
Whatever your situation, this seminar (from 10.30am to 1pm followed by a private coffee with me, Carmen MacDougall to continue to pick my brains), will give you a full insight into what to consider and which tools you need to build the first level foundation of your VA business. This is very useful if you just want to dip your toe for now.
Even if you are not ready just now, perhaps you have just taken on a temping contract, or you are waiting for y
our children to start school, or perhaps redundancy or retirement will be happening in a few month’s time, PLEASE NOTE, this is not something that happens over night; it can take a few months to build your VA business in the right way because of the pre-launch and launch stage you should wisely prepare for. It is advised that you allow yourself at least four to six months to fulfil any training and prepare for the launch of your business, as well, of course, to then start the process of marketing to get the clients on board. Avoid leaving it to the last minute.

And as someone who, not only has had two children whilst setting up two businesses after redundancy, I am also expecting my third child, and so I can share with you my secrets into how to get a business started and running with limited time available to you.
“I had been thinking more seriously about becoming a VA for a while, and the taster workshop came along at just the right time. There was a lot of very useful information, both on a general level and answers to more detailed questions. It was great to meet like-minded people, and to be reassured that this was the right move for me. Carmen was professional, confident and approachable and the discussions really showed that she is an expert in the VA coaching field. I am really pleased that I took this opportunity and am looking forward to following up and taking my ideas forward with the Mastery Course.” S. Holland

Carmen’s friendly nature helped me overcome my doubts and she worked with me to build the foundations of a solid business plan. Carmen’s experience in the VA industry is invaluable and the course provides a plan of action for your business, no matter what stage it is at. I am pleased to say that due to participating in the VA Mastery course I have exceeded my original goals and I have won the VA of the Year Awards due to the success I have achieved in a relatively short space of time.” S.
