“I have no idea how to make this BUSINESS work”
Sound familiar?
You’ve probably spent many hours searching for answers, looking for the “perfect path” to starting and growing this freelance business.
You know what you want:
- To understand exactly what you need to get started as a freelancer or Virtual Assistant
- To follow a step-by-step, systematic process; you do well with a clear, actionable plan; and can make use of resources like templates, checklists, and trackers
- To know about “all the moving parts” of earning income as a freelancer, like where to find clients, how to talk with and land them, and how to get paid
- To know about what it actually looks like to work with clients and topics like onboarding, communication best practices, and asking for referrals, for example
You’re already nearly there
You understand that establishing a solid foundation is vital for any business and you want to get it right the first time.
You’re interested in building a legitimate, viable business that you can craft any way you’d like and can scale both professionally and financially.
You also know what you absolutely don’t want
- A lack of autonomy and choice in the work you do
- Not finding your work fulfilling or enjoyable
- Not feeling connected or cared for in your work setting
- Not being able to set your own schedule
- Spending more time at your job than you do with your family and other interests that bring you joy
- Limited opportunity for professional or financial growth
- A lack of security - the pandemic taught millions of people that “job security” isn’t as secure as we’d thought
Pretty much all of us started here...
right where Brooke, Essy, Debra, and Paula were…
I’ve always wanted to work from home, but I never thought it would happen for me.
-Brooke A.
I had no idea how to even start building it [a business] or where to find clients.
-Paula H.
I was at a point in my life where I felt stuck.
-Essy M.
I had a lot of anxiety and self-doubt.
-Debra K.
Unhappy, unfulfilled, and dissatisfied with our options for earning income with the “traditional” 9-5 model.
Feeling stuck and unsure about what to do about it.
Clueless and overwhelmed about where or how to get started on a different, better path.
Anxious and mistrusting of our own capabilities.
What comes after those thoughts, though, is even more powerful...
An unwillingness to keep doing what you’ve always done – and receive what you’ve always received.
The tension between where you are and where you want to be becomes… undeniable.
As does the thought of living the rest of your life, day in and day out, repeating the same cycle of dissatisfaction and marginal results when it comes to your joy and quality of life.
Those thoughts are completely normal. What’s important is what you do with them.
All four ladies mentioned above? They made a decision to take action and do something about the chronic discomfort.
They took a chance on themselves and their futures, trusted in their abilities to learn and ask for help, and mostly – made a commitment to their success.
- Brooke is running a successful freelance business from home while she takes care of her four children.
- Essy’s full-time VA business is thriving as she’s scaling her client roster and income – and she’s learned that she’s “capable of accomplishing more than she ever imagined possible.”
- After recently completing our flagship course, Fully Booked Foundations, Debra has started working with her first client and is in the process of landing more so she can travel with her husband and live location-independent.
- Paula landed her first two clients and began earning income as a freelancer before finishing Fully Booked Foundations.
There’s no magic here, no “secret formula.”
Anyone can make a permanent change in their work and quality of life with the right information and mindset.
Including you.

The 3 Pillars of Success
You can read all of the blog posts, download countless free resources, sit through webinars, and spend weeks/months/and even years contemplating your options, but at the end of the day there are three things that are going to make you successful:
Make a Decision and Commit
If you’re serious about improving the quality of your work, income, and life, part ways with “I’m thinking about doing this thing.” Your inner voice will likely tell you 179 reasons not to, but that’s okay. It’s totally normal, and it’s just your mind trying to keep you safe by maintaining what’s been sort of comfortable and the status quo. But if it was that comfortable, you wouldn’t be here.
Stay in Consistent Action
If you’re looking to make a change and achieve your goals, you have to do something, not spend hours scrolling, or reading more “resources". Take action, get into motion. Even small, tangible steps toward your goals matter. The cumulative effect of weeks and months of consistent action has a greater impact on your future than doing nothing at all.
Find Ways To Be Supported
Going out on your own as a freelancer, VA, service-based business owner means… being on your own. There’s no break room to gather in or water cooler to stand around. It doesn’t need to be a solitary endeavor, though, even if you’re a “business of one.” Instead, surround yourself with other people who are doing what you’re doing. It’s one of the most powerful ways to keep driving at what you want to achieve.
Commitment. Action. Support.
That’s your three-pillar strategy to success within this (and any other) endeavour you take on.
But we’re not leaving you there…. that’s just the beginning!
You Will Also Learn
When you enroll, you’ll have instant (and lifetime!) access to our Fully Booked Foundations course.
It walks you step-by-step through the process of launching your VA business: from choosing your services, pricing them and getting people to actually pay you…
… all the way to managing clients, delivering an amazing experience and setting your business up for long-term success!
Everything you need is right here.
Fully Booked Foundations has helped thousands of aspiring VAs turn their dreams of becoming self-employed into reality. Now, it’s your turn.
Fully Booked Foundations will help you to…
Craft Your Plan
Learn how to set doable, inspiring business goals to keep you focused on the path to landing your first client (or 3!) and earning an income on your own terms.
Plus, we’ll show you how to select 5 options for services you can confidently start offering to clients, based on what you love, are already good at or are willing to learn (because you don’t have to be perfect to start getting paid).
Bonus Resource: Hourly Rate Calculator to set an initial price for your services that you feel good about — so you can start replacing your current salary or hit your first income goal FAST!
Find Clients
Learn the 7 ways you can source potential clients and a step-by-step process to connect with them… even if you worry that you don’t have a big network or you don’t know anyone who could hire you.
All the scripts and real-life examples you need to nail it are included! Plus, see actual exchanges I’ve had with potential clients, and templates you can use to pitch and talk to potential clients in a way that sells your services… without being awkward, pushy or weird.
Bonus Resource: The FBVA Pitching Challenge to get you into action and out of overthinking.
Get Hired
Know exactly what to do when someone is interested in working with you! Steal our approach for having interviews with prospective clients to determine if you’re a fit and how to follow-up (without the sweaty armpits).
We’ll also show you how to increase your hourly rate with new or existing clients, or even transition to “set” packages that allow you to better serve your clients and charge a higher rate.
Bonus Resource: Interview follow-up templates that increase your odds of getting a YES!
Nail Your Process
Show clients a professional level of service that blows them away right from the start. You’ll learn how to send a proposal, cover your bases with a contract and onboard clients effectively to set expectations and boundaries.
We’ll also show you how to set up your process for getting paid by clients consistently and on-time, and our favorite tools and methods to manage your projects and stay on top of your responsibilities with ease.
Bonus Resources: Client onboarding worksheets, proposal and contract templates.
Manage Clients
Navigate client tango like a pro. Discover how to build amazing work relationships with clients that leave them feeling satisfied and eager to send you referrals.
Learn how to communicate with clients, deal with mistakes when they happen and set yourself up for success long term.
We’ll also share how to regularly evaluate your client relationships to make sure each project aligns with your goals… and ensures maximum enjoyment (and profit) of your work!
Bonus Resource: Client Exit Worksheet to help you breakup gracefully with a client who is no longer a fit.
Get Efficient
It’s time to make your own business run smoothly (not just your client’s!). Learn how to build effective work processes that allow you to get more done in less time.
Avoid doubling up on work by planning your week in a way that makes sense, and build value for your clients by helping them develop Standard Operating Procedures that save time and confusion.
From task batching, to effective habits, time management tools and more, we’ll show you how to make sure your work doesn’t take over your life.
Bonus Resource: Develop a workflow that works with the Map Out Your Ideal Work Schedule Worksheet.
Grow Your Income
Now that you’re in motion, learn about the 5 core specializations you can choose as a VA and how to decide which one (or a mix!) is right for you.
When you specialize your services, you’re able to build a deeper skillset in an area that clients value — and one that you enjoy. Specialization allows you to reduce your workload, cut down on overwhelm and most importantly, raise your rates while becoming more “referable” to your ideal clients!
Bonus Resources: Exclusive, niche-specific interviews with FBVA students who are ROCKING their area of specialty… so you can too!
Get Online
Learn how to build an online presence without being chained to social media or your laptop 24/7. We’ll show you a simple, effective process for growing the visibility of your business and “planting your flag” online.
We’ll show you how to use social media strategically to show clients you’re legit, craft a simple online resume and choose your initial brand name and colors… without getting overwhelmed or stuck on the details that don’t really matter.
Bonus Resources: Online resume template to quickly summarize your core skills and experience to potential clients (even if you’re worried you have none)!
Go Full Time
Learn the legal side of setting up your biz so you’re 100% bona fide. If, like many of our students, you have your sights set on taking your VA business full time, we’ll show you how to craft a game plan to do exactly that.
We’ll explore how to give your own biz the same amount of love you give to your clients, how to take time off without stress and how to address things like healthcare benefits and retirement savings when you’re self-employed.
Learn how to ensure your business supports your long-term financial and lifestyle goals… and map out your plan to make it happen!
Bonus Resource: 90-day Marketing Planner to help you create a sustainable marketing rhythm that helps you stay top-of-mind for your perfect peeps!

If you want to work from home or you’re miserable in your current job… you can do so much better.
“I’m a mom of four kiddos and I’ve always wanted to work from home, but it’s something that I thought would never happen for me. I worried that I wouldn’t be able to make enough money to replace my day job, especially when there’s not that many options in the small town I live in.
I’ve worked part time as a VA before, but only as an employee, so I’ve never had to pitch a client or take care of my own marketing. I signed up for Fully Booked Foundations to sharpen my skills and hopefully land a couple of good, solid clients when the timing is right. Thankfully the program covers that in depth!
I’ve been a student of Fully Booked VA since 2017 and I’ve always trusted them to deliver on what they promise. They are who I go to when I want to keep my skills relevant so I can provide the best services for my clients.
So many of my friends tell me they’re miserable or hate their jobs. They’re smart and skilled and I just want them to know this is an option for them. You can do so much better!
I cannot describe what a blessing it is to be able to stay home with my kids (especially during the pandemic). And the freedom? You can’t put a price on it.”
BROOKE ANDREWS
Fully Booked Foundations Student
Is Fully Booked Foundations for you?
ABSOLUTELY, if you are:
currently employed, and looking to earn some additional income
You’re currently employed, and you’re exploring your options for a better, more fulfilling way to work (and live)…
Congratulations! And, you are definitely not alone.
Congratulations because while you’re still employed, you’re being strategic and very wise about positioning yourself for a more aligned and rewarding career.
RECENTLY LAID OFF, FURLOUGHED OR RETURNING TO THE OFFICE
Like thousands and thousands of others, you’ve found yourself either laid off or “ordered” to return to the office post-pandemic…
While we know this can be an extremely anxiety-inducing time for you, as we’ve seen with many of our members in the last few years it can also become an opportunity.
ALREADY SELF EMPLOYED AND ON YOUR JOURNEY TO BEING A FREELANCER OR VA
The majority of our members (and the ones who are the most successful!) are career changers and at some point, they were just like you.
Tired of their circumstances, fed up with just “going through the motions” every day in their careers, and mostly – ready to make a permanent change.
Or maybe you’re one of countless others…
Most of our students fall into one of these categories, but not always.
For example, we also see people entering the world of freelancing and service-based business such as:
- Those nearing or in retirement
- Stay-at-home parents
- Military spouses seeking location-independent work
- College students preparing to enter the workforce (but in a more fulfilling and profitable way!)
Regardless of where you’re coming from, there has never been a better time to become a freelancer.
Cutting out the middleman of an employer by providing services (that you already know how to do) directly to businesses as a freelancer, Virtual Assistant, or independent contractor (the title really doesn’t matter!) has been on the rise dramatically.
It’s a model that’s been around for quite some time, and as the pandemic helped establish – it’s a way to work that just makes sense, both for you and for business owners (i.e. your future clients).
And, when you consider things like the 305,000 people who were laid off in the US alone in 2023, creating your own job security also… just makes sense!
So, congratulations on looking into this very rewarding way to work (and live)…
It says a lot about your ability to think outside the box and to take bold steps toward a better, more aligned way to earn income.

hear from our students:
“Fully Booked VA was one of the main reasons I was able to leave my full-time job to become a full-time entrepreneur. The lessons are easy to follow with step-by-step exercises to implement along the way. I was able to see that I could earn an income online and had their support for any questions that came up. I completely recommend the program to anyone who realizes the opportunity to earn income online and wants the guidance to make it happen!”
“It’s official! Today – 365 days ago – I joined this VA program. Year 1 was figuring out if I could create value for others and get them to pay me for my work, all while working part-time hours. Turns out, I can. 6 Clients, $29k and several new friendships later – I’m really glad I made the choice to start this journey. Thanks for sharing your story and opening doors for others!”
"The day I went full-time with my VA business – just 8 months after finishing the course – was one of the happiest of my life. I love working with my clients from all over the US and in all kinds of different niches, giving them valuable time and energy back for doing what they love and want to do
You might not realize it, but you have a very specific skill set that someone needs. The team helped me find mine, so I could create a life where I like to go to work every single day.”
“Within 60 days of implementing these VA growth strategies, I had a small handful of clients. After 4 months I was actually able to leave my 8-5 corporate job because I had a full roster of clients plus a waiting list!”
“Without this program, I wouldn’t have a business. I had no idea how to even start building it or where to find clients. The course gave me the direction and tools I needed to get my business going. And before I even finished the Fully Booked Foundations course I had TWO clients!“
“I landed my first client through the VA Leads program – and it was my first pitch ever! I started off as a producer/host for online trainings, and things just grew from there. I now average about 20-25 hours per week with this client at approximately $35 an hour.
The course provides a ton of valuable tools for anyone serious about starting a VA business. The foundational course gave me the resources and confidence I needed to leave my corporate career of 22 years for a stress-free life of being my own boss!”

Still Got Questions?
You’re making a big decision to change your life – and we’re here to support you!
Don’t be embarrassed!
VA stands for Virtual Assistant and basically means that you’re helping someone out from afar. I.e. You have a service to offer, they are in need of your valuable skills and you make a deal to trade time (or task) for pay.
There are TONS of services that can fall under the VA or virtual assistant umbrella – services like writing, social media, email or blog management, graphic creation, accounting… the list goes on!
You bet! Most tasks aren’t time-sensitive, so you can do them on your schedule – around your current 9-5, your family, etc.
You might end up working with clients all over the world that are in completely different time zones. Our team is 100% remote and live globally, and it works great!
Sure! There are tons of students living outside the U.S. who have built successful VA businesses after joining our program. That’s the beauty of virtual work!
One thing to keep in mind though, is that if you want to work with English-speaking clients, you should have a strong handle on writing, reading and speaking English too.
No matter where you reside in the world, you can work with anyone – regardless of where they live!
It really depends on you, your schedule and your work ethic – VA Foundations is self-paced.
Some students have made their way through the course in as little as a weekend, while for others it takes them a few months.
So, it’s really up to you!
You sure can!
We get emails each and every week from students sharing their successes and how they just landed their first paying gig (or quit their 9-5!). It makes me smile every time!
But success doesn’t come without effort…
In addition to reading the material, you’ll need to complete the module Action Plans.
While it may seem scary at first, putting yourself out there and asking to be hired via pitching (the freelancing term for prospecting or applying for work) is what’s going to get you there – you’ve got this!
The short answer is… nope! You can certainly put any previous experience or training you have to work in your new VA business, but you definitely don’t need any kind of fancy degree or letters after your name.
In fact, when it comes to education, we provide you with what you need to become a successful VA. And, once you’ve completed our VA Foundations course and passed your final exam, you’ll become Fully Booked VA Certified.
Your certification is a powerful way to let folks know you’re a legitimate professional, that you’ve invested the time, energy and money into yourself as a remote service provider, and that you’re officially open for business
You may not realize it, but right now you already have at least ONE skill that can be translated into a service you can get paid for!
That’s right, you totally do, and in the Fully Booked Foundations course we walk you through exactly how to figure out what those profit skills are and how to start offering them – right away!
Yes! You can enroll today for $197 and complete your payments for the following two months (3X$197, monthly payments).
We’re putting EVERYTHING in our student’s hands to set you up for success – including earning your investment back ASAP.
All YOU have to do is dig in and follow the plan we’ve laid out for you! If you’ve followed our plan and haven’t made your money back, we’re here to support you.
Due to the nature of our digital products, we can’t offer a refund, but we are committed to your success and will offer you a free private business coaching session if you are struggling.
Here’s what we’re asking you to do before requesting additional support:
Successfully complete our cornerstone course, Fully Booked Foundations, and receive your FBVA VA Certification
Send a minimum of 100 client pitches (including follow-ups) and submit a completed Pitch Tracker (an editable tracking spreadsheet found within Fully Booked Foundations)
We’ll ask you to provide evidence that you’ve done all these things before you request your private coaching session.
We can’t do the work for you, but we’ll support you all the way and give you every opportunity to succeed!
Please see our Terms and Conditions of Sale for more information.
Awesome – we appreciate you purchasing from us in the past!
You’ll still have lifetime access to your previous purchases under the courses platform (i.e. you can log in as you always have), regardless.
We’d love for you to join us over here too – it’s completely optional, however, and dependent on the goals that you have for your VA business.
As your business grows, we’d love to continue to support you, and we’ve developed FBVA to help you book clients, build confidence, and refine your skills as you work toward growing your income and hitting your goals.
