Welcome to The VA Connection®

Hi there! I'm Belinda.

I bet you're here because someone you trust told you to check out being a Virtual Assistant. Or maybe you've been Googling "work from home" and stumbled upon one of my videos, blog posts, or webinars and want to learn more. However you got here, welcome. It's nice to meet you!

In 2019, after 9 years as a successful Virtual Assistant, I was inspired to help other women launch their own Virtual Assistant businesses so that they can have life-changing flexibility and freedom too.

No matter your starting point, this site is filled with valuable resources to get you on your way.

From start to finish, I'm here to lead you through the process, step by step, so you can skip the struggle and get to work.

Will You Be Our Next Success Story?

I stumbled upon your VA Kickstart, which led me to your course. I feel blessed that I did. I was at the point of giving up. Due to what I learned from you, I now have six clients. I can't thank you enough for sharing your wisdom, advice, and tools. You saved my business and I now feel motivated, fulfilled, and worthwhile.

I like the VA School group is so small. Therefore you CAN teach and support us kind of individually when needed. I've been in a few paid coaching groups, and there were hundreds of participants and therefore you weren't really heard. The bigger the group gets, the more the individual gets lost. VA School is exactly what I always wanted, I love it, and I love Belinda's genuine way of teaching.

Being a part of VA School has been an amazing experience. I enjoyed learning from Belinda and sharing ideas with this amazing group of women that are all dedicated to helping each other succeed! I looked forward to each class with much anticipation. Thank you Belinda and everyone who was part of VA School. Cheers to our ongoing success!

When I started I had just lost my job of 10 years... within 8 weeks my husband was informed that he could no longer be paid at his job... so lots of things!

However... drum roll... when I started I had ZERO clients and was a nervous wreck. After joining VA School I now have 6 clients. I'm so thankful for Belinda and her excellent and practical teaching.

This has been a great experience in many ways. First, Belinda is so personable and knowledgeable. She shared from her experience and research. I had a lot of questions regarding how to do what I need to do and was provided instructions, examples and templates that made what I was learning very clear. Additionally, everything was recorded so that I can fall back on each session. The live Study Halls were awesome. The shared knowledge and questions of those who did attend, the live sessions were priceless and added so much value to the learning process. The guest speakers, the templates. Awesome experience.

Don't Overwhelm Your Prospects

November 4, 2024

I remember when I was first starting my career as a VA 14 years ago – I would routinely overwhelm my prospects on our 30-minute free Discovery calls. I didn’t do it on purpose, but over and over I could hear when I had crossed the line and felt their strong desire to get off the phone – quickly!

In this blog post, I'll give you tips on how to avoid this problem.

Get Your Focus Back

October 28, 2024

Virtual Assistants always have lots of balls in the air. That's just the nature of the work. The downside of so much activity, however, is that sometimes we fall into a habit of doing what's in front of us instead of thinking through the best next step on our ever-growing to-do list.

In this blog post, I'll share three things to do to get back on track.

When You Have More Work Than Time

October 21, 2024

At the beginning of life as a Virtual Assistant, it may seem like you’ll never have enough work. But things can change quickly. When they do, and you bring on a steady stream of new clients, you may be surprised by how quickly your work can outstrip your available time. This is a tricky situation. On the one hand, it’s not a good idea to slow down the flow of work. On the other, you still need to meet your deadlines and keep your promises.

In this blog post, I'll share some tips to help out when this happens.

Your Most Valuable Business Asset

October 14, 2024

As a Virtual Assistant, your email list is the most valuable asset in your business. More valuable than your computer, your office furniture, and even your software, no matter how much you invested.

In this blog post, we will explore the often underestimated power of email list and its important role in the daily routines of virtual assistants.
