Ever feel like you’re winging setting up your VA business?

✔️ You’ve got the skills, but don’t know where to start
✔️ You’re piecing together freebies
✔️ You’re constantly questioning your pricing, packages, or systems

It’s exhausting. And it’s not a strategy.

Here’s the truth: building a VA business doesn’t have to feel like throwing spaghetti at the wall (and hoping it sticks!). With the right support, it can feel safe, intentional, and profitable.

That’s why my mentoring exists. It is the support I wish I had when I started over 13 years ago!

We map out your services, pricing, and offers.
We build a lean backend that won’t crumble (or blow the budget!).
We create clarity so you can confidently say yes to the right clients.

Because you don’t just want a business, you want one that lasts.

Book a no-obligation complimentary call through my website, and let’s chat about how mentoring could support your next step 🤍

I stopped calling myself “just a…” and everything shifted. But that wasn’t the whole story.

Even after I dropped the “just,” I was still bouncing between titles that didn’t quite fit. We offered VA services. We offered OBM services. Two very different things, but both part of what we did. Neither one on its own captured the full picture, though.

We were embedded in businesses, shaping how they operated from the inside out. Building systems, implementing processes, managing teams, executing strategy, and handling the day-to-day. All at once. All tailored to what each client actually needed.

But I couldn’t find the words for it. And when you can’t name what you do, you can’t fully own it either.

It took feedback from incredible clients who described what we did better than I ever could.

That’s when it clicked. We weren’t offering VA or OBM services anymore. We were delivering operational support and management. Bespoke, high-touch, and deeply integrated into each business we work with.

The moment I named it properly, everything aligned. The right clients found us faster. And for the first time, what we said on the outside finally matched what we’d been doing on the inside all along.

Your business is allowed to evolve. Your title is allowed to change. You’re allowed to outgrow the box you started in.

That’s kind of the whole point IMO.

So if you’re feeling stuck and things just aren’t adding up, try this: seek out honest feedback (yes, like a 360-style review, for those of you ex-corporates who didn’t just break out in a cold sweat at the thought 😉), take a proper moment to reflect, and ask yourself if the box you’re operating in is even the right one anymore.

Chances are, you’ve already outgrown it!

I keep seeing the same thing on repeat right now.

Business owners working long hours, feeling exhausted, and wondering why there’s never enough money left over to pay themselves properly.

So we dig into the numbers together.
Spoiler: Most of the time, they need to do their homework first and start actually tracking their time!

And almost every single time? When we work out what they’re actually earning per hour... it’s less than a kid working the checkout at Woolies 😬

Not because they’re doing anything wrong. Because nobody ever told them to track their time properly and price from the truth!

Here’s the thing: time tracking isn’t just for people who bill by the hour. It’s for every business owner who wants to actually know their numbers.

When you track everything (client work, admin, emails, quoting & invoicing, socials, all of it) you stop guessing and start making decisions based on reality.

No need to add another paid platform to your tech stack - Clockify or Toggl are my free top picks. No excuses.

You deserve to be paid what you’re worth (plus, plus, plus!!). But first, you need to know what the bare minimum actually is!

So if there is one thing you start doing this week - for the love of margaritas, please let it be starting to track your time 🫶🏻

The power of small beginnings 🥹

I still remember sitting at my first client’s kitchen table, laptop open, figuring it all out as I went. Then it became two clients, then a few more - all while studying and working full-time.

Here’s the truth: you don’t need a big launch, a perfect website, or to quit your 9–5 to start your business.

In fact, I recommend not.

That steady wage? It’s your safety net - it takes the pressure off, gives you breathing room to learn the ropes, invest in yourself, and build something that can actually scale when (or if) you decide to leave the corporate world.

But… be prepared for the sacrifices. Late nights. Weekend work. Saying no to some things so you can say yes to your future. I’m not going to sugar-coat it - it’s not always easy.

You’ll be tired. You’ll doubt yourself. But if you’re committed, those small steps compound into something bigger than you can imagine.

And while I won’t sugar-coat it, I will be the gal who helps you collapse your business timeline and passes you a margi when you need it 🍸🖤

Your dream business doesn’t need a grand opening. It just needs your first yes.

Are you in? ❤️‍🔥

I’m just going to leave this here for anyone juggling too much at once 💌

Too many tabs open in your brain? Too many decisions, too many “shoulds,” too much to-do? It’s not you - it’s the system you’ve been trying to run solo.

Imagine what you could create if some of that weight (yes, all those open tabs 😉) was lifted.
