Hey Abbey. This is me Ahmed. I am 23 years old from Pakistan.I am really interested in joining your community but I don't have enough funds. I am a heart patient so for that I can't go outside and do any normal job. I did a free real estate virtual assistant course but couldn't get successful in it cuz it required me doing cold calling. Although I am fluent in English still the prospects whom I called thought I was a scammer and stuff. Now I am looking to learn a new VA skill. Do you think you can help me?

Great insight Abbey. It's mind blowing and exciting to listen to you. Next time do a video on how to gain clients especially for us VAs in Africa. Kenya in particular 🤗
Hi @benedatte8209, thanks for watching! You might be interested in watching the marketing videos here on our channel. Here's one to get you started: ua-cam.com/video/m_Yz9xFp3p0/v-deo.html
Abbey, thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. I came across one of your videos about 1 month ago and was truly inspired to become a VA given my 19 + years in the corporate world. I want to eventually scale to a VA agency as you identified in your video. I'm currently saving money towards starting your course. However, I'm from the Caribbean and was wondering if the course and area of business is suited for me. For instance, I came across the vault with the contract templates and noticed it's suited for US based citizens only. Kindly guide me. This opportunity will certainly help me acheive my goals. As a Mom of 2 boys, I want to spend more time with them - freedom, provide for my boys, buy my home, travel the world etc
This is a really great question, @kmacm6529. One of the best things about starting a VA business is that you can do it from anywhere in the world! The SavvySystem can totally be for YOU. As you mentioned, we are U.S. based. We highly recommend that you educate yourself on your country's regulations and tax requirements when starting a business. The contracts that we have inside the SavvySystem are U.S. based. We recommend that you have them reviewed by a local representative available to you to make any specific changes that you need to meet your country's requirements. This is actually the same advice we give to U.S. based students as well since business and tax laws can vary from state to state. I hope this helps! Rooting for you always!
Hi @2EmptynestersHomestead, This is a common question and the reality is that you likely have a valuable skillset already to start serving clients!!

We totally understand! I encourage you to check out all the free videos here on our channel and in the blog (www.thevirtualsavvy.com/blog) Here's a free Checklist so you know which steps to take and in what order to get you started: www.thevirtualsavvy.com/checklist Rooting for you!
I want to do my own business, but I am 64 years old. I want to travel and need an income. I was an administrative assistant for 15 years. Now I'm retired and doing child care. I can't travel working 45 hours a week.
That's amazing! Being a VA can be a great way to earn income while still enjoying travel. As long as you have a reliable computer and internet source you can take your work nearly anywhere you go. And, as the business owner, you get to set your rates and availability. Rooting for you and your goals!
What did you learn from watching this video? Is Virtual Assistance a good fit for you?
I luv virtual assistant, I wanna thank you for clearing the misconception that I must be in the US to be successful as a VA.
I would like to do this, but for the medical field. I've been in the field for 20 yrs tons of experience on different things..

That's it's good to get practical about your big hairy audacious goals. They come true through practicality!
Great point! Set your goals and start taking imperfection action. You got this!
Mine is definitely not living in the United States. Lost all hope after receiving rejections from companies in the US
I need this
So glad you found the video! What were the key points you took away from watching?
I am 62 and I would like to do this to make a little extra money, but I have no experience.

I wish I could do your course but as a stay -at-home mom my monies are limited to taking care of the needs of my school-going child.
