Not everyone\u2019s VA business is going to be the same, but we\u2019ll give you some solid framework to build yours the way you want, and make sure that it will be a money making model for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-background\" style=\"background-color:#784e241f\"><strong>Lesson Two: Balls in the Air<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting and staying organized is a big part of virtual assistant work. When you work with more than one client, things can get busy very quickly. Priorities are important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this module, we will talk about how to manage work for multiple VA clients, how to collaborate online with them and how to keep it all organized so you maximize your non-billable time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-background\" style=\"background-color:#784e241f\"><strong>Lesson Three: Seriously, What Do You Do?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What services to offer clients can be a sticking point that stops many VAs in their tracks. The notion that you have to learn skills to become a VA is not something I believe in and that\u2019s what I\u2019ll teach you in this class! There are lots of clients that need what you know &#8230; right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this module, we talk about starting with what you know \u2013 and you know a lot more than you think! We\u2019ll decide what you can do best, and who you can do it for, as we cover your service offering and your targeted clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-background\" style=\"background-color:#784e241f\"><strong>Lesson Four: Connections That Count<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The online world can be a scary place when you\u2019ve only sat at a desk before. Where do you go to find people? What do you say to them? Getting clients online is simple but taming the marketing piece of your business is challenging if you don\u2019t know how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this module, we talk about everything online. What you need, what you don\u2019t need, and what to say. How to get your website up quickly and easily, where you need to be on social media. And what your marketing message should be saying so that people hear you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-background\" style=\"background-color:#784e241f\"><strong>Lesson Five: Virtual High Fives!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A whole module on finding Virtual Assistant clients! Why? Because it\u2019s the hardest thing to do. But it doesn\u2019t have to be! You just need to learn how to do it effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this module we will talk about your marketing message, and your strategy for networking and finding VA clients. We will learn about how to have a sales conversation and how to get people to work with you. It takes a strategy and goals, and now\u2019s the time we put it all into action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-background\" style=\"background-color:#784e241f\"><strong>Lesson Six: Moving and Shaking<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This week we put everything you have learned together and we go through your plans. We make sure you have all of the answers you need to start connecting with potential clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-background\" style=\"background-color:#784e241f\"><strong>Lesson Seven: What Is Your Next Step?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This week we will review what you have learned and wrap up the program and send you on your way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to teaching you about each of these parts in detail,&nbsp;<strong>you will also receive templates<\/strong>&nbsp;for every part that you need \u2026 from your business plan, goal setting, website setup, content creation, all the way to your client contract, so&nbsp;<strong>you will have all the resources you need<\/strong>&nbsp;to plan your business and sign clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are you waiting for?

I did the full VA starter course when I was just starting out just 2 years ago and I wouldn\u2019t be where I am today now without her. Don\u2019t miss this opportunity! ~  Jude B<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tracey, I want to tell you how much I am enjoying your VA course. You\u2019ve included so much helpful information and answered my questions already. While there are many VA sites out there yours is the most helpful to me and most professional. You deliver what you promise and I know that when you post of offer something it\u2019s valuable. You emit class and trustworthiness and I look forward to continuing my training with you. \u2013 Theresa O<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-gray-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">Every established VA should have taken a course like Tracey\u2019s Getting Started course before we even registered our companies. We would have saved a lot of time, money and heartache. I feel that our pride in what we do is only surpassed by our willingness to promote and provide the highest quality of service. And I really feel that what Tracey is doing for new virtual assistants will carry our trade to the next level because the ones coming behind us will already be on first base. Kudos, Tracey! ~ Vickie M<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tracey\u2019s Getting Started as a VA course was amazing! As a VA who had been in business for 6 months already when I took it, I really enjoyed getting back to basics and learned so much from Tracey! I was able to start implementing Tracey\u2019s teachings right away to beef up my business foundation. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone starting out in their VA business. I just wish this had been around when I first started mine, it would have saved me a lot of trial and error, not to mention time! &#8211; Jennifer J<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-gray-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s been a number of years since I have been looking at the whole VA industry. I have been doing courses here, going to webinars, listening to this and that, but I have never really sat down and put things on paper the way you have instructed. Nobody showed me like you did how to sit down and write these things out. You have a direct, step-by-step plan from getting from A to B. And for that I am very thankful. &#8211; Beverly H<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your VA Mentor is a wonderful tool for all VAs! Not only does Tracey\u2019s Getting Started course explain the step-by-step process to setting up a successful VA business but it\u2019s practical and extremely helpful! Tracey is a great teacher and explains everything clearly and thoroughly! I highly recommend taking her course if you want to get your VA business off to a successful start! &#8211; Jenna N<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-gray-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">Much thanks!

You teach with practicality and are direct in what is needed for me to achieve my goals. Thank you so much! &#8211; April M<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks,&nbsp;Tracey, for the very practical training that was jampacked with value!

Tracey, you inspire me and have been since day 1!

I began working from home in 1995. I studied catering management in college and offered consulting services to food and beverage establishments, and specialized in helping them with controllable costs. It was a great service, and I was able to work from home so that I could help as many businesses as I wanted, and still be close to home for my family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I struggled with finding clients. I struggled with marketing my services. I struggled with getting paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It quickly became less fun than I expected. The paying clients were those who had the money to open restaurants (but there were not too many of those near my home, which meant I had to travel to earn money). The local clients didn\u2019t think they needed the services I could provide \u2026 or worse \u2026 they didn\u2019t think they could afford my services (and I clearly wasn\u2019t showing them my value!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 8 years of trying to find my place, I did some soul-searching to figure out what to do with my business. I realized that I could use all of my knowledge and experience in administration, and simply find a better niche of clients to serve \u2026 and I did. In the process, I realized that this amazing Virtual Assistant industry existed \u2026 and that\u2019s what I was!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started marketing my business&nbsp;<em>as a VA business<\/em>, hired business and marketing coaches to teach me what I needed to know about the online world and finding clients, I got very clear on my services and who I could best serve, and I haven\u2019t looked back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I learned these business and marketing skills ONCE, and I have continued to apply them to my changing business over the years. Let me teach you how to do the same thing for yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-gray-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">Getting Started as a VA is just what I was looking for to get started as a Virtual Assistant. Tracey gives easy to follow, well thought-out lessons. I don\u2019t know how she managed to pack so much material into just 8 weeks. Tracey\u2019s knowledge, coupled with her easy-going \u2013 straight-forward personality made my decision to become a VA, a very easy one. I recommend this course to everyone who is just getting started in the business, and to anyone considering a career change. Thanks Tracey, you made it very easy for me to learn and I was always looking forward to the next class. I\u2019m just sorry that it was only 8 weeks. &#8211; Jen S<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting Started as a VA is the perfect program for new VAs just getting started, or thinking about starting a Virtual Assistant business. Tracey will save you countless hours and point you down the path to success right out of the gate. Your VA Mentor also provides an extra advantage to established VAs who have been in business a year or two, and just want to make sure they have a solid business foundation to grow from. Tracey has a natural gift for teaching and is so giving and willing to share her knowledge, and the real-world experience she has gained through years of running her own successful VA business. &#8211; Terri L<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-gray-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">When we put together one of our high level training programs for our students, we knew that in order for our clients to grow their businesses, they need to really understand the importance of getting support in various ways. We asked Tracey (who was our own VA at the time) to teach the support and technical pieces of our program, and we are very glad that we did. Throughout the program, our clients got the information, resources and support from Tracey that they needed without feeling overwhelmed, and they were able to better understand that part of their businesses. Tracey is an easy going teacher and she shares her wealth of knowledge about being a virtual professional freely. &#8211; Paige and Brian S<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Getting Started as a VA \u2013 Self Study<br><strong>$97<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/ncp\/payment\/84PD5UVVJRUQ2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"55\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.yourvamentor.com\/getstartedva\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Register-Button-Brown.png?resize=225%2C55\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for a career change or a way to earn extra income?
