Welcome to The VA Connection®

Hi there! I'm Belinda.

I bet you're here because someone you trust told you to check out being a Virtual Assistant. Or maybe you've been Googling "work from home" and stumbled upon one of my videos, blog posts, or webinars and want to learn more. However you got here, welcome. It's nice to meet you!

In 2019, after 9 years as a successful Virtual Assistant, I was inspired to help other women launch their own Virtual Assistant businesses so that they can have life-changing flexibility and freedom too.

No matter your starting point, this site is filled with valuable resources to get you on your way.

From start to finish, I'm here to lead you through the process, step by step, so you can skip the struggle and get to work.

Will You Be Our Next Success Story?

I stumbled upon your VA Kickstart, which led me to your course. I feel blessed that I did. I was at the point of giving up. Due to what I learned from you, I now have six clients. I can't thank you enough for sharing your wisdom, advice, and tools. You saved my business and I now feel motivated, fulfilled, and worthwhile.

I like the VA School group is so small. Therefore you CAN teach and support us kind of individually when needed. I've been in a few paid coaching groups, and there were hundreds of participants and therefore you weren't really heard. The bigger the group gets, the more the individual gets lost. VA School is exactly what I always wanted, I love it, and I love Belinda's genuine way of teaching.

Being a part of VA School has been an amazing experience. I enjoyed learning from Belinda and sharing ideas with this amazing group of women that are all dedicated to helping each other succeed! I looked forward to each class with much anticipation. Thank you Belinda and everyone who was part of VA School. Cheers to our ongoing success!

When I started I had just lost my job of 10 years... within 8 weeks my husband was informed that he could no longer be paid at his job... so lots of things!

However... drum roll... when I started I had ZERO clients and was a nervous wreck. After joining VA School I now have 6 clients. I'm so thankful for Belinda and her excellent and practical teaching.

This has been a great experience in many ways. First, Belinda is so personable and knowledgeable. She shared from her experience and research. I had a lot of questions regarding how to do what I need to do and was provided instructions, examples and templates that made what I was learning very clear. Additionally, everything was recorded so that I can fall back on each session. The live Study Halls were awesome. The shared knowledge and questions of those who did attend, the live sessions were priceless and added so much value to the learning process. The guest speakers, the templates. Awesome experience.

Do You Really Need to Niche? Let's Talk About It.

July 7, 2025

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “The riches are in the niches.” And while it sounds clever, here’s what I’ve seen again and again:

Trying to pick a niche too early can actually slow you down.

In this blog post, I’m breaking down the three main ways you can niche as a Virtual Assistant—and why I recommend starting broad instead. You don’t need to have it all figured out on day one. Clarity comes from taking action, not sitting on the sidelines.

How I Became Proudly Unemployable

June 30, 2025

When I started my business as a Virtual Assistant in 2010, I had no idea how much my life would improve. I enjoyed working in various roles in corporate America for 17 years. I was accustomed to a regular paycheck, healthcare benefits, and three weeks of paid vacation. I never understood why anyone in their right mind would give that up and start a business.

And then I became a mom, and I understood precisely why.

In this blog post, we'll explore why having your own business is better than working for someone else.

June 16, 2025

When I first started as a Virtual Assistant, I didn’t realize how much I was settling for what felt familiar—even if it wasn’t really working.

What helped me move forward was getting honest about what I was accepting by default—and gently deciding who I wanted to become instead.

In this new blog post, I’m sharing 3 simple mindset shifts that helped me move from feeling stuck to finally building momentum—and they might be just what you need too.
