Wanderful Academy

Let’s fast forward a few months from now…

You have decided you’re going to be a Virtual Assistant
You chose the services you want to offer
You created your website and…

You see a Freedom Call come in.
And another one.
And another one.

So many people want to hire you.
5 signed clients later, you realize that everything you’ve built is allowing you one MAJOR THING.

FREEDOM.
That kind of freedom where you don’t have to worry about rushing into work– you can eat your breakfast, journal, look out the window, and you have nowhere to be than exactly where you are.

Here’s the truth– becoming a Virtual Assistant has changed my life. I have way more freedom and I make more now than I did when I worked for a boss.

It’s allowed me to change the lives of SO MANY.
It’s allowed me to go shopping with my best friend during ‘office hours’.
It’s allowed me to end my workday at 3 pm and read in the sun.
It’s allowed me to go on a road trip with my dad.

Simply put…

It’s allowed me freedom.

I’ll never forget I chose to start my own business.
I had so many doubts.
I had no idea how to start my own business.
What got me to the other side of those doubts?

I chose myself!
I made the decision that I can do what makes me happy.
That I can wake up with so much energy every morning. That I can work from home, having slow mornings reading at my kitchen table. That I can go on a workation. 

All without having to change me. 
All without having to be more of an extrovert.

Becoming a Virtual Assistant was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and changed my life.
And I want that also for you.

But you don’t have to do it alone, babe. I didn’t when I started my VA business. I had help because I had no idea. So let me be there for you. I created the Wolfpack Membership with lessons on everything Virtual Assistant, a community where you can ask me all your questions, bi-weekly Q&A sessions via Zoom, and monthly training sessions via Zoom. 

Are you thinking HELL YESSSS I want this? DM me
