I always knew I was meant for more and wanted to do something bigger with my life. Like most people, I believed a full-time corporate job was the only way to secure a steady income. I gave my all—110%—to every Personal Assistant role I held, but deep down, I longed for something different. I craved a flexible lifestyle where I could be in charge of my own time and unlock my true earning potential. Yet, I had no idea how to break free from the daily grind or make my dream of being my own boss a reality.

Then, one ordinary day in 2014, as I sat at my desk feeling exhausted, stressed, and alone, it hit me: I could use the same skills I brought to these corporate jobs to build my own empire instead of someone else’s. Determined to take control of my future, I started working tirelessly in my free time to launch my Virtual Assistant business. I had no guidance, no resources, and no support—but I didn’t let that stop me.

Despite the countless mistakes I made along the way, within three months, I secured four South African clients. By the six-month mark, I had added two international clients to my roster and was earning five times my previous salary as a Personal Assistant! That leap of faith turned out to be the best decision of my life.

Let me take a moment to reflect—it wasn’t an easy journey. Building the successful business I have today required thousands of hours of hard work, dedication, and persistence. I poured my energy into delivering exceptional results for my clients and fostering strong, lasting relationships. Along the way, I made countless mistakes—some so significant that I had to start my virtual business from scratch. But each time, I learned, adapted, and improved.

In the early days, I heard “no” far more often than “yes,” but I refused to let that discourage me. I kept pushing forward, and that determination made all the difference. The secret to success lies in perseverance—continuing to move forward, no matter how difficult it gets.

After eight years as a successful international Virtual Assistant, I started receiving daily messages from women asking how I made it work. Many of them had tried to build their own businesses but struggled because they didn’t have the proper foundation. And I’m not talking about piecing together advice from blogs or Google searches—I mean a clear, step-by-step guide with the support to set up everything you need for guaranteed success in your VA business.
