  • Are you fed up with the 9-5 grind, where you do the same thing over and over all day long, sit in a windowless office, have to be "on", dress to code, and cringe when you think of how long your daily commute is?

  • Are you a stay-at-home parent, a person with a disability, a semi-retired professional or an employee facing corporate downsizing who is looking for supplemental income?
  • Do you have a keen entrepreneurial spirit that's just busting to get out and try on self-employment?

The Online Working World Awaits!...

"I am sorry to see the end of the course!!  The only improvement would be
a bit longer duration – in length of the course.  4 weeks was too short!! 
Thanks, Georgian College and Pam Ivey for an amazing course!"
~ From a Georgian College Student Course Evaluation

If you've ever had the slightest thought about starting your own business, you NEED this information.

I know all too well what it's like to struggle with the daily pressure of going to the office, the mental and physical wear and tear, the politics, the pecking order, and the lousy pay.

Like you, I've worked in jobs where the boss treats me like the stuff you'd find on the bottom of your shoe, felt trapped at my desk, stifled in my mind, and never saw the sun until the weekend (in between periods of catch-up-after-a-stressful-week sleep).

And like you, my entrepreneurial inner voice kept reminding me that I was not cut out for the corporate rate-race and cubical life. I longed to work my own hours with people who respected and inspired me, and to have the time to be creative.

Well, I changed all that 10 years ago. And I know you can, too.

IMAGINE THERE IS A BETTER WAY ... A WAY IN WHICH YOU CAN DECIDE:

  • when you work (no more being forced to work overtime or have only once-a-year vacations - want to start work at 11am? No problem!)
  • what kind of projects are best suited to you (no more being the round peg trying to fit into the square hole, make the most out of what you love doing)
  • the types of clients you want (instead of one or two "bosses", YOU can decide the type of people you want to work with, what industries they're in, and how many)
  • what fees to charge (you don't have to settle for minimum wage, or the average office worker's hourly pay - some VAs make $75 an hour or more!)

THINK A VA IS A GLORIFIED SECRETARY?
THINK AGAIN...

When the VA industry began in the 1990s, most VAs did much the same work as they would have in an office; filing, answering the phone, typing up correspondence, etc., but today, the scene is MUCH, MUCH different!


Pam Ivey is hands-down one of the best instructors and VA advocates I know. Her passion and enthusiasm for helping VAs at any level is just simply part of her DNA. I know how tirelessly she works to mentor, support and train VAs, so anytime there is a chance to connect with her through any of these ways, you must do so! I have no doubt this course will be amazing, as everything else Pam does always is.

“I wish a course like this had been around when I was first learning the ropes. If I had been given a roadmap like this, it would have dramatically cut down my learning curve and helped me put my best foot forward from the very first step. Pam, is an incredible instructor and I just know you'll get a lot more than just materials to follow but a whole new world will open up!

Pam IveyHi, I'm Pam Ivey, and my passion is helping new and seasoned virtual assistants through mentoring, training and networking.

I've been a virtual assistant since 2001. They call that an "old-timer" in this industry. I was tired of working for "the man" (or in my case, a woman. I actually affectionately thought of her as "Satan's Wife". :-)

I searched and searched and tried a number of different options to try to generate enough consistent income to be able to work at home. I traveled 75 minutes each way to and from work (that's almost 3 hours a day!) and was sick of the lost time and expensive gas and car maintenance costs. Blah!

Now I run a very successful multi-VA company, known as My Creative Assistant (MCA), www.mycreativeassistant.com, plus, I've also developed three VA associations:

And I'm a member of countless others. Yes, I am a networking junkie! But all of the connections I've made with the many VAs out there have brought me a lot of great information, tools, clients, and a stellar reputation.

Since becoming a VA, not only have I had the pleasure of working with numerous interesting clients in several industries, but I've been able to put all of my skills - yes, from the old 9-5 office days, to work with everything I do - be more creative and inspired, and do what I love doing most!

“I have had the privilege of working and collaborating with Pam Ivey on a number of different events over the last couple years! Pam has to be one of the most knowledgeable and business-savvy people I have ever met. Given Pam's wealth of experience in running a multi-VA agency for many years, I think she would have to be THE best resource for any new VA looking for practical time-tested tips and strategies for getting their business moving in the right direction!

~Craig Cannings
Co-founder
www.VAClassroom.com

I haven't looked back - and I know many, many other VAs who haven't either. This kind of work can be very fulfilling in so many ways, and I want that for you too!

That's why I've put together the introductory course, so you can have a good sampling of what being a VA is all about. I'll walk you through it all, step-by-step, from A to Z.

When asked, What could we do to improve your learning experience,
one student responded, "Hire Pam to teach another course – many more
things to be learned from Pam! Well beyond my expectations – Fantastic!!!"

“Hello Pam ..... I wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I enjoyed my recent VA Blueprint online training.

That it is the most comprehensive end-to-end VA training I’ve encountered so far, with a staggering array of tools and templates to equip any VA, goes without saying.

But what was truly valuable was the module on Business and Marketing mindset – seriously, I listened to those parts 3 times! THAT’s the key differentiator between the VA Blueprint and all the other training material out there. It’s these key concepts that VA business owners really need to ‘get’. I keep my notes on this handy topic and refer to them frequently so I never lose sight of these learnings.

Wishing you continued success!

Believe me, I know what it’s like to stand at the threshold of a new door of opportunity in life.  I know it takes guts to strike out on your own and leave behind the “safety” of the work-a-day world you’ve been a slave to. And I know it’s not what you want. I’m here to help you change that.

Pam is definitely a Virtual Assistant who knows what it takes to be successful! She is a dynamic leader, whose passion for helping others in this profession is evident in all that she does. A Virtual Assistant, Author, and Speaker, she leads her program from experience rather than theory, sharing the necessary resources, tools and ‘know how’ for anyone considering becoming a VA.”
