The VA Bootcamp

The 12 week programme to help you launch your VA business and land your first client

Because your 9-5 isn’t the only option… Let’s build you something better.

You know you want control over your time, the power to decide your income, and the flexibility to spend your days how you choose (whether that’s with your kids, travelling the world, or being able to take a midday yoga class without having to ask for anyone’s permission).

And after doing your own research (*ahem* endless scrolling on Tiktok), you’ve seen virtual assistants thriving: booking clients, working on their own terms, and creating real freedom in their lives.

But right now? You’re stuck at square one, unsure where to even begin.

You can’t shake the feeling that this could be your way out of the 9-5 grind.

Let me guess

Part of you is fired up, ready to get stuck in…but then there’s another part of you second-guessing yourself (and second-guessing the skills you know you already have!)

Afterall, you’ve never created a business before, and have no idea where to start with pricing, marketing, signing clients – and keeping them!!

You’re sure you could get a couple of paying clients through word of mouth, but you don’t really want to solely rely on your mum’s friends and your hairdresser.

No, instead, you want a proven system for marketing so you’re able to sign clients on repeat – replacing your 9-5 income and feeling secure in a business that will allow you more freedom.

And you want to know the services you’re offering are in demand, the legalities of becoming a business owner, the systems you need in place, and how you can set boundaries with your clients to protect your freedom (without sounding arsey).

That’s exactly where The VA Bootcamp comes in, giving you a clear, step-by-step plan to launch and grow a real VA business that gets clients and is built for sustainable success.

And creates an income stream that allows you to finally quit the 9-5 that has been draining you all these years.

Sit with me for a while, and picture this:

  • 12 weeks from now, you’re not just “thinking about” being a virtual assistant: you are one.
  • You have services you feel confident offering and know that business owners are looking for your skills, rates that reflect your worth, and you know what to do to get a client (if you haven’t landed one already! So many of my Bootcampers land their first 1-3 clients during the 12 weeks – take a look at my testimonials below for receipts!)
  • Because with my training, guidance, and personalised feedback, you won’t just be guessing your way through it. You’ll have a proven roadmap to build a business that actually works.

It’s time to stop the endless scrolling through social media, wondering how everyone else is making it happen, and start building your own profitable, flexible VA business that lets you work when you want, for who you want, from wherever you want.

Introducing

The VA Bootcamp:

The 12-week group programme to help you launch your VA business and become the obvious choice for clients 

The VA Bootcamp gives you the exact roadmap to launch your virtual assistant business and land your first client in just 12 weeks, helping you lay the foundations, grow your audience, nurture prospects and turn them into fully-paid clients (all without the confusion, second-guessing, or overwhelm!!)

Inside The FREEDOM Framework

Here’s how we make it happen:

Wow - what a bootcamp! I have really enjoyed it from start to finish and I am proud to say that my business is now up and running and I have a client already thanks to the information that Steph gives alongside her encouragement, support and push to take action where you can. I am actually going to miss having Steph by my side with her positive, enthusiastic style.

What’s included in The VA Bootcamp?

The VA Bootcamp isn’t just another “how-to” course that’s going to lie untouched in your inbox (trust me, I’ve bought far too many of those to know how useless that kind of course can be!) It’s a step-by-step group coaching programme designed to help aspiring virtual assistants just like you take action, stay accountable, and launch a fully operational VA business in just 12 weeks.

When you join The VA Bootcamp, you’ll get:

  • Complete VA business training: Self-paced video lessons covering everything from setting your rates and finding clients to contracts, onboarding, and scaling – with lifetime access so you can revisit it anytime.
  • Weekly group coaching calls: Get real-time support with additional mini-trainings, hotseat Q&A sessions, and direct access to my expertise.
  • Action assignments: Because just watching a course won’t build your business. These built-in challenges keep you accountable and ensure you’re taking the right steps to launch in the 12 week timeframe.
  • Ongoing accountability & community support: When you join you’ll receive access to our private Slack channel where you can connect with fellow Bootcampers, share wins, and stay motivated between calls. Plus, I’ll be in there M-F answering any questions you may have!
  • Personalised feedback from me: I’ll personally review your rates, services, marketing, and onboarding so you can launch with confidence, knowing you’re doing it right.
  • Weekly job opportunities: Because finding clients is half the battle! Get handpicked job leads sent straight to the group every week.
If you’re looking for a hands-off coach who isn’t involved, this isn’t the programme for you. But if you want to work closely with me, following my tried and tested FREEDOM Framework, designed to get you fully launched as a VA in just 12 weeks, you’ll want to be inside The VA Bootcamp!  

PLUS as a student in the Bootcamp, you’ll receive access to these TEN bonuses:

When I first discovered the virtual assistant industry, I was juggling a demanding 9-5, dreaming of more freedom, and inhaling every free resource I could find: podcasts, freebies, Pinterest posts… you name it.

I knew I was done with asking for permission for time off, and I wanted to be able to travel while still making money –

So when I finally launched my business, I knew this was it. There was no way this was going to fail. I would do whatever it took to make it my 9-5 exit plan.

And this commitment to just take action, without worrying about the outcome, is what led me to where I am today.

In just two months, I was fully booked as a VA. Two months after that, I quit my 9-5.

And I’ve spent the last 2.5 years travelling the world, supporting multiple, dreamy clients, replacing my full-time income working just four hours per day, while helping over 50 1:1 and Bootcamp students do the same.

I’m living proof that with a bit of commercial strategy (which I’ll teach you), a commitment to take action (you’ll hear all about my 51% rule inside the programme), and a whole lot of courage, it is possible to change your life – fast.

What you can expect by the end of the 12 weeks

You won’t just know how to become a VA… you’ll actually be a VA with a business that is set up for freedom and flexibility (and a minimum hourly rate of £30!!)

But not just that – you’ll also have:

✔️ Clear (in-demand!) services you feel confident talking about, safe in the knowledge that business owners are looking for your exact skillset

✔️ The ability to pitch yourself without overthinking every word

✔️ A marketing strategy so you know what to say, and how to say it in a way that appeals to the kinds of people you’d loveeee to work with

✔️ Boundaries in place to protect your new freedom-based lifestyle

✔️ The confidence to hand in your notice when the time is right

✔️ A community of others in the same boat, cheering you on every step of the way

And you might even have landed your first client – just like these previous Bootcampers

TThe truth is, there has never been a better time to become a virtual assistant. It’s more expensive than ever to hire an employee – meaning business owners are actively searching for skilled freelancers to support them instead.


And that’s where you come in: ready to step up, stand out, and build a business that gives you freedom, flexibility, and financial security.

Who is this for?

Let’s be real… you don’t need another ‘inspiration’ video telling you to just go for it. What you need is a plan.

A roadmap that actually works. A proven framework that has helped countless others before you achieve what you’re dreaming of.

You’re ready to take your transferable skills (yep, the ones you already have!), package them up into something irresistible, and become the obvious choice for those looking for support.

And if that sounds like you, you’ve just found the programme that is going to help you become a virtual assistant.

Maybe you’re looking for a way to bring in extra income, or maybe you’re done with your 9-5 and are ready to finally be your own boss.

Either way, when you launch your virtual assistant business using the proven, step-by-step FREEDOM Framework inside The VA Bootcamp, you’ll have everything you need to fast-track your success: without the guesswork, the overwhelm, or the endless scrolling for answers.

Let’s get you back to scrolling Tiktok for funny dog videos, and Sicily travel inspo – rather than trying to piece your new VA business together using it.

NEW FOR 2025:
Learn In-Demand VA Skills That Clients Are ACTUALLY Hiring For!

The VA Bootcamp has always been about teaching you how to launch and run a successful business – but in 2025, we’re taking it one step further.

Not only will you learn how to attract clients and grow your VA business, but you’ll also get hands-on training in three high-demand services – so you can start offering them immediately and position yourself as a must-have hire.

Inside These New Service Trainings, You’ll Learn How To:
  • Manage your client’s inboxes like a pro – Say goodbye to their unread email chaos. You’ll learn how to filter, organize, and take control of their inbox so they can finally stop checking their phone every 30 seconds.
  • Take over diary management – Keep your clients on top of their game by scheduling meetings, setting reminders, and even adding personal touches (like making sure they don’t forget their partner’s birthday or scheduling in a lunch break!)
  • Create standard operating procedures (SOPs) that save clients TIME & MONEY – Help businesses streamline their operations by documenting workflows and processes, making you indispensable to their growth.
Because learning how to run a business is great… but learning how to run a business AND offer in-demand skills? That’s how you become fully booked.
In three years as a virtual assistant, I’ve NEVER been let go by a client. Because when you know how to stand out, over-deliver, and make yourself irreplaceable, clients don’t just hire you—they depend on you.
 
And that’s exactly what I’ll be teaching inside The VA Bootcamp.

The VA Bootcamp gave me all the information I needed to know to start up, and gave me the confidence to actually start and get a client. The challenge weeks also helped me keep accountable and actually reach out to people, and it was so motivating joining the weekly calls and seeing where everyone was at - it was probably my favourite time of the week. Steph was amazing, and answered all questions, not just on the calls but when you personally messaged her and was just so helpful! All the weekly calls were recorded to, so anytime you couldn't make it, or even if you just wanted to watch it again, it was all there for you!

FAQs

The Virtual Assistant Bootcamp has been designed with beginners in mind – taking your business from idea to reality in just 12 weeks.

Absolutely! Ahead of each call, students are welcome to submit their questions (including if they can’t make the call). All calls are recorded and shared with students – so even if you aren’t able to join us live, you can still receive answers to the questions you have.

Yes – but only if it’s a relatively new business. I’d say if you’ve already got your first client and you’ve been a VA for longer than six months, it probably isn’t the programme for you (and instead, I’d say it’s worth reaching out about 1:1 coaching instead!)

No! Absolutely anybody can join, whether you have a niche, don’t have a niche, or aren’t sure what a niche even is.
If you’re feeling drawn to becoming a virtual assistant, but are overwhelmed by where to start, this programme is for you.

Yes! This programme gives you everything you need to know to launch your business in 12 weeks – but it’s down to you to take action and see it through. You owe it to yourself to commit to trying something you can’t stop thinking about, and that could give you the freedom you could otherwise only dream of.
