VACT – where do I begin? I have put off writing this for a long time because there are no words that can ever describe how grateful I am to Amanda and the VACT team.
12 months ago, I did not know where to start. I didn’t have a business plan, any goals, contracts, insurance…. I just knew that I wanted to be a VA and work from home around my little one’s schedule. Amanda has taught me how to plan, how to use and understand the different social media platforms, where to look for clients and how to make sure they are well looked after, what software might help and things that I should make sure I have in place legally.
She has answered every stupid question that I came up with and has gently guided me to a different way of thinking when I was completely off track. She also told me to ‘JFDI’ when I was letting my lack of confidence slow me down.
The membership community is awesome (as is Amanda). It is hugely collaborative. I have learned so much from the other VA’s in the group and have made some great connections and even more importantly, some great friends (which in my view, is essential if you want to succeed).
I have recently been shortlisted for ‘VA of the Year, North East Region’. In my first year in business. This is down to Amanda, her advice, and her unwavering support. I can honestly say that without Amanda and the VACT community, I would still be trying to get my head around everything that I need to do to be an amazing VA but because of their support, I am getting to live my dream. Every. Single. Day.
Words can never fully express my gratitude, but I hope this gives you the idea.
Thank you, Amanda.
