Set Up Your Own VA Business with Confidence
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be your own boss? To set your own hours, choose the clients you want to work with, and build a business around the skills you already have? If you’ve been a secretary, administrator or PA and are now thinking about stepping into the world of Virtual Assistance, you’re not alone. More and more people are looking for flexible, independent ways of working, but the thought of starting a business can feel overwhelming.
That’s precisely why I wrote Business Start-Up 101. This book is designed for beginners, including those who have been working as a PA, secretary, or admin for years, or perhaps even doing VA work as a side hustle, but are now ready to take that next step and set up their own VA business.
The Problem So Many New VAs Face
The hardest part of starting is not knowing where to begin.
- What should I focus on first?
- Am I missing something important?
- What if I make a mistake?
- Can I really make enough money to live on?
It’s normal to feel nervous about giving up the security of a regular job. Many of my readers tell me they’re excited by the idea of being their own boss, but terrified of the unknown. They don’t want to dive in unprepared, but they also don’t want to waste years figuring it all out the hard way.
I know exactly how that feels, because I’ve been there myself. I’ve been a VA since 2005, working independently, building a team, and making plenty of mistakes along the way. This book is everything I wish I’d had when I started out.
The Promise of This Book
By the time you’ve worked through the exercises in Business Start-Up 101, you’ll have more than just ideas — you’ll have:
- A blueprint for your business, tailored to your skills and goals.
- A clear business plan that maps out your services, pricing, and target clients.
- Confidence in handling finance and money management.
- A step-by-step approach to marketing your VA business.
- The knowledge to protect yourself with contracts and terms.
- A solid starting point that takes you from uncertainty to your first paying client.
This isn’t a book to skim in one evening. It’s 102 pages of practical, hands-on exercises and guidance. If you do the research and planning properly, it may take you several months to complete — but that’s the point. Building a VA business takes time, and this book ensures that your time is well spent.
What’s Inside
Here’s a quick look at the four main sections:
Section One – About You
We start by looking at your skills and passions, because the best VA businesses are built on what you already do well. Together, we’ll figure out where your niche lies and how you can stand out.
Section Two – Sales and Marketing
Sales doesn’t need to feel scary. You’ll learn how to talk about your business with confidence, how to network without the awkwardness, and how to create a simple marketing strategy that brings clients to you.
Section Three – Finance
Yes, we have to talk about money. You’ll discover how to set your rates, track your income and expenses, and avoid common financial mistakes that trip up new business owners.
Section Four – Running Your Business
From contracts and terms to setting boundaries with clients, this section helps you run your VA business professionally while also protecting yourself. You’ll also learn the importance of looking after your most important client, you.
Why This Book is Different
There are hundreds of business books out there, so why this one?
Because it’s written by someone who has walked in your shoes, I know what it’s like to move from being employed to running your own micro-business. I know the fears, the doubts, and the excitement too. This isn’t theory. It’s real-world experience from someone who has been a VA for twenty years and made a good living from it.
Unlike generic start-up guides, this book is specifically tailored to VAs. It takes into account the unique challenges and opportunities of building a VA business.
The Transformation You’ll Experience
When you begin this book, you might feel unsure, maybe even scared to take the leap. But if you put the work in, you’ll finish with:
- A business plan you can be proud of
- A clear vision for your VA business
- The confidence to call yourself a business owner
- The pride of landing your first client
That’s the transformation I want for you, from feeling uncertain to stepping into your own business with clarity and confidence.
