Hey there, I'm Sam.
I have been exactly where you are...
A little over a decade ago, I made the decision to kick off my journey as a Virtual Assistant. At that time, I had just moved to a new country, my kids were still tiny, and honestly, I was exhausted, overwhelmed and feeling very guilty.
You see, I loved my corporate job BUT I knew that there had to be a sacrifice at some point because I could no longer pour my heart and soul into both.
I didn't want to sacrifice my time with my kids when they were still little. I wanted to be there after school - to help with homework, take them to their sports practices, and be with them during school holidays. I also wanted the energy for that quality time in the evenings before bed.
To be honest, I also wanted more time for myself...time for gym, coffees with friends, and the ability to head to the grocery store outside of peak traffic hours.
I also knew being a stay-at-home wasn't going to work for my family, we are a two income household plus I want to earn my own money, in my own time, on my own terms, and be my own boss.
I had heard about the term "Virtual Assistant" and decided to head to Google and Facebook to find out more.
I won't sugarcoat it; it wasn't a walk in the park.
I took the hard route, signing up on every job site imaginable. I was scared, questioning whether I had the skills to make it online (truth be told, I didn't). I spent countless hours each day scouring and responding to job posts on social media, but it seemed like I was getting nowhere. This was alot harder than I thought!
And when I did manage to land some clients, they turned out to be the wrong fit—people who didn't appreciate my work and paid me peanuts.
It took me a year to streamline the process, and while it's not rocket science, having a strategy is crucial.
Here's the deal—you can have what you want.
Time for yourself, time for your kids, the flexibility to work from 10 am to 3 pm and still pick up the kids and truly enjoy being a mom. You can win fantastic clients who not only recognise the value you bring to their business but also become your friends.
Working just 5 hours a day can still earn you a great income— even more than your corporate job!
It's all within reach, but you need a game plan and someone in your corner who's walked this road before.
I'm genuinely thrilled for you to join me in Fourways on Thursday. Whether you're a brand-new VA or you've started but feel stuck, this will give you the clarity of knowing exactly what tp expect, and boost you need to lift your VA business off the ground with a GPS of knowing exactly what to do to ensure its a success
Looking forward to meeting you in person!
