Take It From People Who Know Me + My Teaching Style: My Students!
By all the information on the internet and confused about where to start... even though you're ready to get started (and would tomorrow, if you could)
Just not sure how to get started, what to do next, what to offer or how to get clients... even though you know you would kill it as a VA.
With all the fluff + filler found in typical training courses and you're tired of always wanting more... even though you're a pretty smart cookie and know it shouldn't be this hard.
To attract dream clients and make more money... working less hours and being your own boss!
Does All That Ring True?
Then NOW is the Right Time To Start Your VA Business!
But I know...
You probably have these doubts running through your mind at the moment...
So, let me know save you some time + give it to you straight (that's what I'm all about).
"I'm not ready yet!"
No one feels "ready"... for anything. But, do you still want to be where you are today in six months from now? Your success is up to you! What's stopping you?
"I'm already a Virtual Assistant"
Excellent! This course is designed for ALL Virtual Assistants, whether new or experienced, who are not getting the results they want or need.
"But, I don't have time!"
We're all busy - I get it. So, the question is, are you really busy or are you productive? This program is broken into bite-sized pieces so you can learn something new in as little as 15 minutes. Plus, it's all self-study - no deadlines!
"I can't afford it!"
This course is for those who are ready to invest in themselves and their future and for those who have tried other methods and found them lacking. If you commit to your success, you can pay the program back with your first VA client.
"This program is the same as all the others"
You won't be getting the same regurgitated stuff everyone else is teaching - guaranteed. What I teach actually gets results and includes ZERO fluff, filler or hype so you get everything you need in one place along with the skills, documents + mindest to help you reach your goals!
"I can learn everything I need to know from YouTube for free!"
Sure, you're free to wade through hours of content (some good and some questionable) and hours of struggle to try and make it work. Or, you can learn from my decades of experience and leap over all that!
NO-NONSENSE APPROACH
Your Business
Your Choice!
The long & short of it?
I'll get you results.
I've built 2, 6-figure VA businesses... from scratch
With no degrees, no experience, NO clue what I was doing...and a baby on my hip. After doing this twice, I've learned a thing or two (or 50) about building successful, profitable, and sustainable businesses.
"System" is my middle name
I'm a certified PMP with over 20 years of experience as a project manager. Which is basically a fancy way of saying, I'm a certified systems junkie who created this as a top-to-bottom, end to end system for success. All you have to do is follow the steps.
Teaching complex subjects is my game
I began teaching software way back in the 90's before the internet was even a thing and when the coolest thing about Microsoft was the "PacMan O" in the logo. I've taught DOS, Windows, Access, WordPerfect, Microsoft Office and even Lotus 123 to professionals who knew absolutely nothing about technology. Bottom line: I can teach.
10 years later, I'm no rookie
I'm not new kid on the block, I've been supporting the industry I'm passionate about for the past 12 years. I know what works and what doesn't based on years of real experience.
You're student number (somewhere in the) 1000+
I've taught thousands of people just like you how to start, launch and grow their own VA business. Most with no business experience or college education. What I teach gets real actual results.
I pratice what I preach
The systems + processes that are taught in this course are the very same ones I used successfully in my own VA business. In fact, I still use the same key systems in my business now. They're the key to your freedom and I'll show you how to create + implement them easily.
Check Out A Few Testimonial Snippets From My Students:
It freed me to create a business I absolutely love.
I know that my business will continue to grow as a direct result of working with Susan.
I truly believe that Susan's course is the best one for new business owners (VAs).
I recommend this program to anyone looking for a no-nonsense program.
This program is geared towards creating "be-your-own-boss" minded people.
No general search-your-heart-advice, but step-by-step activities that I could use.
INTRODUCING
It's a Virtual Assistant Business in a BOX!
A unique + comprehensive training program that teaches real strategies + systems for creating a sustainable business that attracts a steady stream of clients + makes you money.
Without filler or fluff!
In this program you'll learn...
The Foundations of every successful business so you can get setup for success from the start.
The ins and outs of the VA Industry, online marketing, branding, and sales so you're fully equipped to both build your own business AND help your clients.
The systems and structures that are going to support you as you start and as you
grow.
How to package, price, and sell yourself with confidence and clarity.
Here's How We Setup For Success:
In this module we focus on what the VA Industry is and is not.
VA Industry Overview - learn the ins + outs of the industry and why it's not cookie cutter.
Tools of the Trade - discover the must have tools when starting out, which free ones are best and when to upgrade.
Online Business 101 - we look at the difference between offline + online businesses and their overall structures.
Digital Marketing 101 - I introduce Digital Marketing, what it is, why you need it + the most important pieces to start with.
OBM, VA + PM - learn what these roles are all about + their differences.
Common Terms - learn what common terms mean and how they're used.
You're going to have to leave that employee mindset at the door. But don't worry, this mindset is much more fun - and you make all the rules.
In this module, you'll learn how to establish a healthy mindset for a successful business owner right from the start, so you can take the reins and make things happen - your way.
You'll discover...
How to fail-proof your mindset by defining your why and putting up safeguards around your fears, self-limiting beliefs, and self-sabotage.
The unshakable confidence and trust that's within you right now waiting for you to tap in, take action and make this happen!
The keys to going from employee to entrepreneur without falling into bad habits and while implementing a clean and clear structure for yourself.
Not every business is created equal.
You have to love what you're doing and HOW you're doing it. In this module, you'll learn how to create a plan for the business you want to build - and not a business you can't stand.
You'll learn how to...
Determine your services, set your rates, and decide if you'll offer retainers or packages so you can create the income you need to support the life you want to live.
Stay focused on what creates income in your business (even if you're still employed)
Get prepared for the most common challenges most VA's experience (and what to do about them).
Set clear goals so you can stay motivated and on track.
You're going to have to stick out from all the other VAs out there in order to get quality clients.
Good news: it's not going to be hard. You're pretty awesome already. In this module, I'll help you create all the elements you'll need to stand out and be seen as the go-to in your field!
You'll learn...
All about branding yourself and your business to stand out - including common branding terms and why you need to know them!
The elements of branding that you can leverage to differentiate yourself, like voice, story, and strategy that will create the like, know and trust factor your clients need!
How to create a Unique Selling Proposition to ask for premium prices.
Your business isn't going to set itself up... and this is a typical place for people to get stuck!
So we'll get you all set up with everything you'll need to run your business forever... no stress, no mess, no confusion.
You'll learn...
The legal and financial foundations of your business like type, taxes, salary, insurance and finance management.
What to set aside for start-up costs (don't worry - we can bootstrap this bad boy!)
How to set up your home office and what to fill it with (equipment and tools) that are the nuts and bolts of your business.
What boundaries are appropriate for clients (and family) to avoid getting run over and run down right from the start.
Without systems in your business, it will run you into the ground.
So, let's not make that happen and build out the 4 key business systems + technology that are the foundation of a sustainable + profitable biz.
You'll learn...
Marketing to a powerful niche and dream client with a clear marketing message that attracts just the right person at the right moment.
How to manage your workload and schedule as well as day to day operations and tasks without succumbing to overwhelm.
The secrets to successfully interviewing, onboarding, and managing clients to help them feel incredible about their decision to invest in themselves.
The ins and outs of customer service and getting paid while keeping clients coming back for more.
So... what are people going to pay you for?
Figuring out lucrative and smart ways to package your services will save you years of struggle and allow you to afford the life you want right out the gate. In this module we'll explore your options!
You'll learn...
All your options for pricing your offers to match what you want to take home each month.
How to wrap your amazing services into perfect packages that you're ideal clients just can't resist (and that will have you working less and making more!)
The tricks to keeping clients around for your next offer and identifying when the time is right to sell them up into a different (and better) package.
So you have a business... now what do you do with it?
Most VA courses drop you out into the (digital) world without a clue about how to make your way. In this module, you'll understand how digital marketing works and how to make it work for you.
You'll learn...
Digital marketing 101 so you can develop a unique strategy + plan for using digital marketing in your business.
ALL the components of digital marketing, from sales funnels and websites to email marketing and content creation to list building and automation sequences.
How you put your marketing on auto-pilot so you can attract clients 24x7 (including the tech and training you're going to need to do it!)
The red carpet has been rolled out, now you just need clients.
But there's no one-size-fits-all solution for getting new clients. In this module, you'll learn and experiment with different strategies to find the ones that work best for you.
You'll learn...
The easiest way to build confidence, gain experience, and get referrals.
The keys to networking and volunteering so you don't get stuck in the "free-zone" working for free forever.
How to stand out and make it easy for client's to say yes to you and your services.
In this module, we'll put it all together and launch your baby out into the world!
You'll...
Start to build buzz and announce your business to the world.
Double check all the pieces you've learned and make sure they're implemented and ready to go.

"Susan’s course is wonderful. It is full of useful information. She covers all of the basics and much more…and it comes with lots of great forms and examples. Everything that Susan covers is extremely helpful, for beginners to the more advanced. I can’t stress how helpful all the information has been, how clearly Susan presents it, and how wonderful it is to have found someone so trustworthy and knowledgeable as Susan!"
"This is the ideal program for anyone looking to begin their journey of becoming a Virtual Assistant. Susan’s methods of training are informative, interesting, fun and practical which makes you excited to get stuck into each and every module. I’ve been running my VA business for a number of years now and with the support I’ve received from Susan, I have gained the confidence to stand proud as an established member of the VA community."
"I wanted to let you know that I learned so much from our coaching sessions. While it is taking me a while to implement everything, I am so excited about the direction my business is headed. I have more traffic going to my site, my list is growing, and I’m building my network through LinkedIn by leaps and bounds. I have scheduled calls with potential clients as a result of being more engaged on LinkedIn. I can’t thank you enough for your teachings, suggestions and support. In a nutshell, you ROCK!"
"This program is awesome! If you’re spinning your wheels trying to figure out how to get a VA business started, then this program is for you! Susan takes you through step-by-step. I would have been lost without it. Thanks Susan!"
"In this inspiring and motivating course, Susan takes your hand and guides you through the jungle of all the overwhelming information you may find on the internet when you are at the beginning of your journey. It has tons of great materials, insights, and useful tips and tricks and I really feel well prepared for my new adventure. Even though Susan’s mantra in this course is “It’s action, not perfection”, I think the course is perfect! It is very structured, the information comes in perfect doses, and all the exercises are a great way to get your own business off the ground. Best decision ever to buy this course!"
"Susan’s course has been by far the best investment that I have made since starting my VA Business. Susan lays out very organized and detailed roadmap on how to launch your VA business. Her course is full of practical advice, action steps to take, wisdom from a seasoned professional, and consistent encouragement. I appreciate her straight forwardness and transparency about the mistakes she made and things she has learned in her business journey. I love Susan’s approach of getting your systems and plan in place first, before going after clients. With Susan’s “systems first” approach, I can go after clients confidently, instead of the “figure it out as you go” message that I see so often on VA websites and Facebook pages. I can’t recommend it highly enough, and I look forward to taking more of The Techie Mentor’s Courses."
"I have had the pleasure of taking multiple courses from Susan, The Techie Mentor. Susan has a way of explaining things that just make sense. The VA Industry is vast and there are plenty of opportunities, but without the right knowledge or guidance, it can be very discouraging and expensive. I have been a part of The Techie Mentor’s network for a year now and there isn’t a day that goes by that I can not reach out to the group members and not get an opinion or an answer – even Susan chimes in or if I have an in-depth question I can message PM or email Susan and she answers me back. I have grown to trust and value Susan’s opinion and knowledge. Thank you, Susan, because of you I now have 4 clients that I work with and new clients reach out to me all the time."
"This program is geared towards creating BYOB (Be your own boss) mined people. Extremely competitive skill building stuff to learn here. But it’s presented in such a step by step way with lots of guides, educational materials, video, live monthly Zoom chat/Q+A, and community to walk you through it all. Worth every dollar!"
"Susan’s program has supplied me with a wealth of valuable information, support, and guidance. I recommend this program to anyone looking for a no-nonsense, realistic VA training program."
"It took me a week after so much research on other courses to finally decide on enrolling to the Techie Mentor’s Getting Started System. It is the best decision I made! I truly believe that Susan’s course is the best one for new business owners (VAs). Not only has it helped me build a framework for my business where I now feel very much equipped with the tools I need, but most importantly it has changed my employee mindset to an entrepreneurial one. I feel more confident going through the process of setting up my business. Susan’s tips and tricks are very valuable as she has years of experience. I love how her way of teaching as it is straightforward and very systematized. Initially learning from this perspective influences me to do the same. I also especially appreciate how Susan explains realities in doing business – totally relatable! I also took advantage of her templates bundle and her action plan workbook – these have provided me great guidance. These are super great resources! I know that implementing the key takeaways from Susan’s course will help me build the business I want. EVERYTHING, as in EVERYTHING I was looking for to get started was in this course and more! Thank you Susan!"

Nope. This program works for anyone, anywhere. It is NOT location independent. I've had successful students from Australia, Jamaica + the Philippines.
Well.. in several ways. The biggest one being that this course teaches many of the things the typical courses don't. Like, how to market your business, how to niche down + what systems you need to automate your business so you can enjoy your life. It teaches you how to build an online service business, not just be a "VA". Plus, it includes ongoing support, including access to me.
Makes no difference! My business isn't called "The Techie Mentor" for nothing! After years of teaching non-techie people how to use techie stuff - I know you can do this. I haven't met anyone who can't figure this out. Promise.
You'll get automatic access to the bonuses (including any fast action bonuses you qualified for) 8 days after purchase.
Yes, I offer a 7-day money back guarantee. This gives you ample time to look over the course to decide if it's for you or not. Please note that if you consume more than 40% of the course you will not be entitled to a full refund.
Well, it won't drop clients in your lap out of thin air.
But, any program that promises that is absolutely full of it and you had better run the other way!
I promise, though, that if you follow this system and put in the effort, this system is PROVEN to help you set up a business ready to attract dream clients.
No worries, click the Need Help button in the lower right corner of your screen and we will be happy to answer all your questions.

Yes, it teaches you basic marketing and then deep dives Digital Marketing to help attract clients while you sleep.
I'm all about community so this program includes a student only Facebook group, monthly live calls + ongoing email support with direct access to me.
The VA Action Plan is a list of tasks you need to complete to set up + launch your VA business. It is all Do It Yourself and does not include any type of on-going support or community.
