Do you find yourself in the new year feeling as if your circumstances will never change? Did you have a sinking feeling when you had to go back to work? Are you still battling with finances even though you receive your monthly salary, yet it never seems to be enough? Feel like you want to do more with your life, but have no idea how to achieve this so you just stay stuck because you do not know how to move forward? Then this blog is for you sis!
Review your circumstances
There is no worse feeling in the world than feeling terrible about your circumstances – all the time! Do you feel absolutely frozen with fear because you really do not have any clue what you need to do to change them? I am only writing this because this has been me for most of my working life in corporate. I was so tired of sitting at my desk, doing the same repetitive work over and over and having to deal with “corporate” gossip, drama and everyone’s mood swings. I was SOOOO frustrated, I knew that I could be better, do better and most importantly earn MUCH more than what I was told I was worth. It was time to take action. Many people think I had it easy …. NOOOOOOOOO, quite the opposite.
- I had no plan
- I had no extra money
- I had no support
- I had no know-how
- I had no information
but things had to change and fast. So the moral of the story:
- You don’t need the big picture right away
- You don’t need to have it all figured out
- You don’t need to wait until circumstances are perfect … because honestly they never will be
What you need now is to acknowledge your circumstances, and that you want them to change … that’s step number 1.
Most of you already know my story of how I set up my VA business 8 years ago with nothing but my Personal Assistance/Admin experience and how many mistakes I made (way too many to share), and how I still made it. I left my full-time job because I was earning MORE than enough money to resign and transition and went on to make more than 5-6 figures more than my corporate salary in my international VA biz. It wasn’t easy, but here I am training ladies just like you to take your hand and guide you through the entire process because without the right plan and process failure is inevitable.
Here’s what took place when I had my VA biz:
- I didn’t even know what to do with the fact that absolutely no one had control over my time anymore
- I couldn’t get over the fact that I never had to report to a nasty boss EVER again, and I got to call the shots
- I was upset with myself for not starting this business earlier to make the money I was actually worth
- I got to take holiday when I wanted NOT when someone else gave me permission to
- I didn’t have to feel bad for going to the dentist, Dr, school plays or the grocery store in the middle of the day
- I never experienced that “Sunday” feeling where I knew Monday was coming and I had to restart my entire week over at “that” company again – I actually look forward to the new weeks
- I never had to sit in traffic EVER again
- I FINALLY felt the freedom and the “completeness” that I was doing what I loved
And you know what? I did this transition whilst having a SUPER demanding full-time job, no support from those around me and ZERO additional money to do this. The only important thing is that I made the decision to change my circumstances. The reason why I help ladies to start their own VA businesses from A-Z is that I know that you can do this, you just need the right foundation and the right steps in order to be successful (and no I don’t train ladies to become freelancers or apply like crazy for online jobs which most likely are a SCAM!) You are so fortunate, because you come to me not knowing anything about how you will do this, and you get every single step ready for you to take immediately!
So here is how I can help:
- I have an online A-Z 6-week VA certification course (that you can do at your own pace) ~ many ladies have come back from leave and have missed out on the old price of R450 – so I am still offering this price until 7 January when the price will be going up on my system to the original price of R1,999.

- I design beautiful and professional websites that will ensure you attract the right clients.

PS If you take course + website together there is a large discount, speak to me about that here: melissa@melissanicholson, and while you are at it when I say you are welcome to ask me questions you are welcome to email me and I will answer for you x
This is the time sis! I believe in you and I WANT to see you succeed and as I have always said, how much is your future actually worth? Don’t go down the rabbit hole of trying to start this business on your own with no help or worse still the wrong help, it will take you yeaaarsssss to become successful, trust me that’s what I tried to do. With my help, you can change your circumstances today!
With love always.
