PREPARING FOR THE JOURNEY

Just by visiting this blog you have already begun an exciting journey as a traveller in the online world… You may by now have also downloaded my free video, audio and eBook which shows 37 reasons why choosing to become a virtual assistant changed my life completely. If you haven’t got a copy grab one now >>

The articles on this blog contain a wealth of free information that will help you on your journey to becoming a first-class, successful virtual business owner, specifically in the online services industry. But if you want to take things a few steps further and learn from ‘start to finish,’ how you set up a successful, profitable and entirely paperless, mobile company, which focuses on providing consulting, project management or virtual assistant services, from anywhere in the world, then keep reading!

There are 2 ways to go about this, and the choice you make could determine the success or failure of your business. There is the half-hearted, cutting a few corners sort of way, piecing information together from a variety of sources, which often leads to going round in circles never connecting all the dots you need to complete the entire picture, or there’s the ‘proper’ way, choosing a quality direction, which offers a complete solution. This guide walks you through the latter.

STEP 1: THE VA BUSINESS

The first step I recommend you take is to Download My Free eBook – “The Virtually Anywhere Business.” This will help introduce you to the virtual world, and the possibilities available to you in the virtual assistant industry. There are many roles that are open to you depending upon your experience, they range from virtual assistance to online consulting and business management. Once you read it, you’ll know if this path to joining the VA industry sounds like the one for you.

STEP 2: THE VA COMPANY

Next, take a little field trip to Visit My Online Business Consultancy and Virtual Assistant Services Website, “Virtual Miss Friday.” For me, this is where it all began in 2005 as a start-up freelancer, at the end of 2007 I opened a solo virtual assistant practise with just myself, within 4 months I was hiring a team, within 2 years the company was making 6 figures and within 4 years, multi 6 figures. But regardless of the financial success of the company, the most important factor to keep in mind is that I have never compromised on quality and service. The company is operated using my unique business model, professionally and to an impeccable standard.

By visiting my website you can see The Company That Generates A Multi-6 Figure Income All While I’m Travelling In The ‘Real World’.

STEP 3: THE VA PASSPORT

Get your feet wet in “The VA Passport.” This is the ultimate Entrepreneur’s passport directly into the virtual world, a continuously growing host of professional resources for your online business. The adventurous entrepreneurial members of “TVAP” are a vibrant group of a variety of online service providers in different sectors of the VA Industry.

The forums are active daily, where I visit during most weekdays, the terminals are updated each week. Every month there is a new ‘live’ u-stream video broadcast which members are invited to participate in for coaching support and a question and answer session. Also each month we create a new PLR article pack for you to use in your business and a new VISA (virtual internet skills assistance) tutorial, showing you a virtual process, skill or system. The members area is evolving and improving all the time. This just touches on the resources available, please visit http://www.thevapassport.com for a bigger picture.

STEP 4: THE VA APPRENTICE

Now you’ve got your passport, if you’re really serious now about taking the journey to your own personal success online, then the next step is “The VA Apprentice.” This programme will teach you, step-by-step, how I created my company, how I run my company, and how I developed the company into 6 figures in the first 2 years of business, hired a team, and removed myself from ‘billable time’ into an online business consultant and manager. In addition to the learning modules, I am on hand with a range of coaching options, and my team from Virtual Miss Friday works with you to build your website, and implement various other creative and technical projects essential to the success of your virtual assistant company – no other virtual business programme provides such a comprehensive, in-depth practical hands-on support service, or unique business model to follow. To see the full curriculum, implementation options, available tutorials and range of bonuses which come as part of the programme, please visit http://www.thevaapprentice.com

STEP 5: THE VA BLACK BOOK

Once you have taken the programme, you can apply to be entered in my directory, “The VA Black Book” — the most elite virtual assistant directory on the Web. Clients are fully aware that not just anyone is able to apply to enter the directory, and that’s the way I like to keep it. The VA companies in the directory are personally endorsed by me, primarily because I have spent several months during The VA Apprentice programme working with them first-hand, and because they have taken The VA Apprentice programme, they can also receive an accreditation, demonstrating to clients that they have a unique, ‘customer focussed’ business model.

THE FINAL DESTINATION

With a virtual business, there are no limits on what you can do with your life, whatever destination you choose professionally and personally, owning and running a profitable, flexible VA company can help get you there. It may happen quickly for you, or it may take time, everyone is different. You need to persevere, to work hard, to be patient and to never forget why you are doing this and what your end goal is. Always remember, you only ever get out, what you put in.

8 Months In Italy, 2011

In just a few years I created my ideal VA company all while I was already living my ideal lifestyle – I didn’t wait for that part, life is too short. I am first-hand proof that an ‘ordinary’ person can take charge of their own destiny, and become whatever they want or need to be. I am also a believer in fate, life presents us with opportunities and it’s up to us whether we take them. Did you land on this page by coincidence, or was it fate?

Now you know what to do, I am here if you need me, every step of the way…
