Sarah Rugg – Owner

Hi, Sarah here

I’m on a mission to help you realise your potential. To achieve a rewarding career whilst working from home and being your own boss!

Back in 2005, I decided to set up as a Virtual Assistant and take charge of my own future. I no longer wanted to ask for permission to take time off to spend with my family and I wanted the flexibility to make work fit around my life.

I’d love to say it all went smoothly, but in all honesty I made every mistake in the book. I definitely learnt the hard way.

But it doesn’t have to be like that. In fact for some time now, I’ve fast tracked others to become successful VA business owners, by teaching them what works and what doesn’t. I still run my VA business (which has grown to a team of 40+) so you can be sure my advice is relevant to the VA industry now.

Having supported hundreds of new Virtual Assistants, as long as you’ve got the right skills and attitude, I’m confident I can show you how to become a Virtual Assistant too.

“I just wanted to say a massive Thank You for all that you have done. You won’t know this, but this business has literally changed mine and my family’s life. My business is steadily growing thanks to all the help and support that you guys have given to me.”

Jacinta (VA)

“My VA Business doesn’t just sell you the best package to base your business on, they look after you too. A really lovely bunch of people”

Margo (VA)

“I didn’t have the confidence to just jump away from my job and into something that was completely unknown, so I wanted to do something that was going to give me flexibility and let me do it alongside my current job until I saw that it was something that was going to work for me and that I could make happen and that I could then jump and make the transition when I was ready. You can do it in your own time, it gives you the flexibility, but it teaches you everything that you need to know as well”
