I’ve taken part in a few VA courses, and I can honestly say, Jacqui is a breath of fresh air. Jacqui has so much knowledge and experience to share and is a pleasure to deal with. Jacqui is open, non-judgmental, gives constructive and positive feedback and is a joy to learn from. You will get so much value from TVAP. – Tuesday Semmens

What is a Virtual Assistant or VA?
What is a Virtual Assistant or VA?
In Australia, a Virtual Assistant is a sole trader or a Company that provides solutions in business administration. They have an ABN number and may be registered for GST. Depending on the country you live in, the definition of a Virtual Assistant or VA may be different. So please check the relevant laws for your situation.
Virtual Assistants use their own technology, tools and resources and work from their office. They are responsible for their own tax, superannuation and insurance and, in some cases, may even employ other team members or subcontract them.
More often than not, those of you who want to be a Virtual Assistant have no idea of where to start, and that’s normal. The Virtual Assistant Project can help you find your way through all the confusion.
Do you know your ‘why’?
Do you know your ‘why’?
There are many reasons why someone may decide to become a Virtual Assistant. Unfortunately, though, it doesn’t always work out for them. This is because they start out not knowing their ‘why’. They don’t know what it is that will propel them to succeed.
The Virtual Assistant Project is about helping those who can help themselves. It wouldn’t matter how great or how good the material is; unless you know your ‘why,’ it won’t give you the outcome you expect. So take some time, work out your why and then come back here, I’d love to be able to help you, and together we can deliver on your expectations.
In the meantime, though, get on my list and stay in touch until you’re ready; then, The Virtual Assistant Project can help you.
Why the Virtual Assistant Project?
I was a successful Executive Assistant working in the fashion industry; my husband had had two heart attacks and had been in poor health for many years. I was the primary breadwinner, and at the end of the month, my excellent corporate wage left us with nothing until the next pay. This was not a sustainable lifestyle.
The Virtual Assistant Project started, and I was my guinea pig. I quit my job and started working from home. Granted, the first 6 months were a shock, my final pay from the corporate world was dwindling, and I needed to make my business work. I went from bringing home 5k to $500 per month; the bills needed to be paid, which wouldn’t cut it. I refused to join job boards where you bid against others for work. JMJ – EA for a Day was a long-term business, so I needed to think strategically. I knew the bare minimum we needed each month to get by, to pay the rent and bills.
Fast forward to now, I’ve been in business since 2011 and have gone from $500 per week to 6 figures a year. I will share with you exactly how I did that, warts and all. We went from paying rent to owning our home on 1 acre of land and debt-free. Using the skills I learnt in being the first member, I’ve gone on to help others do better and be better.
The Virtual Assistant Project is about helping you achieve your potential and changing your lifestyle.
