About us

Having independently created highly successful VA businesses of our own, in 2019 we combined our decades of knowledge and experience to show aspiring VAs around the world what it takes to launch and grow in-demand and fully-booked Virtual Assistant businesses. It just makes sense to learn from those in the business who are already successful. Those that have put in the hard yards. Those that have made the mistakes, learnt from them, tweaked their approach and then grown some more. Whether you're just starting out, or you've been around for a while and are now looking to bring on a team, we've got you covered. We're here to take the guess work and stress out of scaling your very own VA business. Back in the day, we both muddled through alone, making mistakes along the way (some were doozies!). But you don't have to - because you've got a secret ingredient ... us! We're so thrilled to be sharing all our tips, tricks, secrets and lessons we've learnt along the way. Sam + Jo

  • What word best describes how you want 2025 to be? Think of your Word Of The Year as your guiding word for the year ahead. It’s the word that will help you stay aligned with your vision, it’s the intention behind everything you’ll do, and it’s what will keep you grounded in what matters most. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of client work and before you know it, you’re saying YES to everything and everyone, leaving nothing left in the tank and ending up with a business (and life!) you’re not entirely sure you recognise (or want). Setting yourself word for 2025 is a perfect addition to your goal-setting for the year ahead and could be the single most powerful decision you make this year. On this week's episode#221 of The Sam + Jo VA Show, we chat about why setting a Word of The Year is such a transformative exercise and how to do it in a meaningful and intentional way.
