“All of the scary parts of setting up my own VA business have been taken care of; the legal templates, terms and conditions and guidance with regards to insurance policies have been so useful”
Rachael (VA)
I’m Sarah Rugg, co-owner of My VA Business.
I’m on a mission to help you realise your potential and achieve a super flexible and rewarding work life.
Before I started my own VA business I was working 50+ hours per week in the corporate world. That was manageable in my twenties.
But then I had my two lovely kids and I knew something had to change. I’d returned to work part time and I was treated differently. I wasn’t able to put in the extra hours and in all honesty my heart just wasn’t in it. Life wasn’t just about work anymore!
So over 14 years ago I decided to set up as a Virtual Assistant and be my own boss. I made every mistake in the book on this journey and learnt the hard way. I now fast track others to VA success by teaching them what works and what doesn’t. I still run my VA business today (which has grown to a team of 20).
I LOVE the flexibility and balance I have…And this is where I can help you!
I’ve helped countless mums (and some dads) to achieve the flexible and fulfilling work life they craved.
With my new FAB-VA programme I can help you to do the same.
WHAT STARTING A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT BUSINESS CAN DO FOR YOU…
There are many reasons why you might want to start a VA business…
More quality time with your family
Nobody asking you to choose work over family ever again
No wasted time commuting
Just pop to your spare room or the kitchen table
Complete freedom over your working hours
Mornings, evenings or afternoons, make it fit around you
Full control over the work you choose to do
If you don’t want to do it… don’t. It’s liberating, trust me
Greater self worth, putting your skills to good use
Choose the services you offer. Do the work you love
No more ‘Mum Guilt’
Need to take the day off when your child’s ill? No problem
Financial freedom – you’re building this for you
On average VAs in the UK charge £25/hour
Unlimited potential to grow the business
A one (WO)man band or VA company, the sky’s the limit
WHAT SERVICES COULD YOU OFFER AS A VA?
It’s your business so you get to choose!
We guide you through how to define your services. The best thing about this? You in control, nobody will make you to do jobs you don’t want to do any more.
With my programme you design your perfect business.
You might be a PA / EA or have experience in:
✅ General Admin

✅ Diary Management
✅ Travel Booking
✅ Marketing

“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”

Escaping the Corporate World
Starting out as a VA I had huge concerns. Can I do it? Have I got the skills? Can I really run my own business? Will I end up back to the corporate world with my tail between my legs?
Sounding familiar?
Up to then, I’d always had a regular salary and although it nearly broke me earning it every month, leaving was really going to take me outside my comfort zone. I didn’t feel I had the confidence to do that on my own.
Meet my Business Coaches
For many years now I’ve been coached by professional coaches Michelle and Anna. They’ve helped me achieve things I never thought possible.
Some of the photos on this page are taken during a dream holiday that I’d thought was totally out of reach. Michelle reminded me before I went ‘Remember when this was just a dream? When you get there, I want you to stand on that cliff top, give yourself a moment and reflect on what you’ve achieved.’
So I did. That was quite an emotional moment for me. Especially given the lack of confidence I’d felt in the early days.
Benefit from Michelle and Anna’s Coaching
I can’t bear to see people who would clearly make an amazing VA, but their lack of confidence holds them back from that dream.
When I developed this programme, I knew if I could get Michelle and Anna on board it would make FAB-VA the complete VA business package. It would be another thing to set our programme apart from others out there. So I was delighted when they agreed to be part of it.
The FAB-VA programme includes their full video guided Confidence Course – BOOST – to support the success of your VA journey.
“The ‘Boost Programme’ gave me a completely new sense of self-esteem and confidence in my ability to do this”

Together we’ve built the perfect VA package
With experience of running a VA business and expertise of accountancy we’ve got the perfect combo.

Getting clients and delivering a great service to them is only part of running a business. Most of the people who join us have come from employment and have never had to think about the financial side of running a business.
“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)FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(with answers of course)
Does this course contain all the information I need to set up and run my Virtual Assistant business?
Yes. I’ve covered everything you need to know. All the information guidance and tips you should need to build your own successful VA business from scratch are included.
Are there any ongoing costs with you after I’ve paid for my programme?
Only if you take the optional monthly package including Private Facebook Group Support and Monthly Business Growth Advice. It’s just £4.99 with no tie-in period.
If I’d like you to build me a website, can I add this on at a later date?
Yes. You can add this and other products onto your package at a later date via our online shop.
What if I buy the FAB-VA Programme and change my mind. Can I get a refund?
Yes. There is a 30 day no quibble money back guarantee. If for any reason you change your mind, let us know within 30 days and we’ll give you a 100% refund.
How can I give this a try without leaving the stability of my current role?
I’ve designed this package so that it’s fully flexible. Many people set up and start to build this alongside their current jobs to keep income coming in.
How will I get clients?
As part of this package you’ll get my proven system to win clients and advice on how to retain them.
Will I be able to manage the financial side of running my own VA business?
We’ve made this side of things as simple as possible. Having Chartered Accountant Noel as co-owner, the financial advice in the programme is invaluable.
Is this only for PAs or is it available to other people?
We do get lots of EAs and PAs signing up for our programmes but we also get people with other skill sets who make great Virtual Assistants too. I personally came from the corporate world and I’d never officially been a PA, but I was competent at general admin, organised and had an eager attitude.
How quickly can I complete the programme?
Because this programme is fully flexible, you can pick it up and make progress in the spare time you have or you can go full pelt and complete it much quicker. The speed is entirely governed by you and how much time you dedicate to it. Many people are set up and ready to take on clients within a few months.
Do I loose access to all of the content if I don’t set up within a certain timeframe, say 12 months?
No. You can take as long as you need and course access remains open as long as you need it so you can always refer back or re-visit information for guidance in the future.
Where is the programme held and how do I access it?
It’s held on our learning platform that we refer to as ‘The Hub’. Once you’ve bought the course you will receive instant access. You’ll see a welcome video from me and then you can work through all the learning material in order. The step by step format is simple and well organised so that you don’t miss anything. You’ll have a unique username and password to log in and every time you do, you simply pick up from where you left off last time. Simple.
Can I buy this programme if I live outside of the UK?
The program is generally designed for people working as VA in the UK as part of the marketing covers local face-to-face networking and the legal agreements are for UK law. However, there is plenty of other content you could take and use if working from another country.
“My VA Hub literally answers everything, all of the answers are in there…the ‘Boost’ videos are really helpful as well”

HERE’S WHAT SOME OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAD TO SAY ABOUT OUR PROGRAMMES…
On the flexibility of training while still working
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.
KatrinOn the Learning Platform:
I have found it to be jammed with information. So much more than I would have done alone. It is a super guide to getting started especially if you are feeling a little hesitant. It covers everything you need to know.
MaryOn the videos:
They are extremely informative and break the course down into bite size manageable chunks.
Ali FNow she’s established
Honestly the best money you will ever spend …this has changed my life. I’m now able to work from home on a much better salary than before and fit it around the children – Sarah Rugg, is one of life’s inspirational people!
AnnabelOn the legal aspects of starting a business
What you are offering gives a background to how complex it is to start your own business, it has been an eye opener. Having you as a back-up has really helped with those guidelines.
Linda

My VA Hub literally answers everything, all of the answers are in there….the ‘Boost’ videos are really helpful as well.
KylieOn the resources
All of the scary parts of setting up my own VA business have been taken care of; the legal templates, terms and conditions and guidance with regards to insurance policies have been so useful.
RachelOn Changing Lives:
I just wanted to say a massive Thank You for all that you have done for me with My VA business. 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
On the Video Guided Support:
Love the videos. Really engaging & help keep me on track. Also find them really useful to get a quick overview which makes each section feel more manageable.
MarieOn the videos:
The videos are incredibly helpful as they are essential to me too for keeping on track with the programme. It’s unbelievably helpful to have context along with the information on The Hub, to have points elaborated on.
Hazel BOn our Confidence Boost Programme:
The ‘Boost Programme’ gave me a completely new sense of self-esteem and confidence in my ability to do this.
MartinOn the Whole Programme:
Totally supported the whole way along. Just literally following the program has been great.
AlisonOn the Members Facebook Community
There is a community there, we all help each other out, as that community is growing it is great because there are people posting questions that either I have thought of or maybe thought I can’t ask that question and then someone else asks it. You don’t feel alone you feel supported and we are all in the same boat, I think that is the great thing….. it is the personal support that I have really enjoyed and not feeling alone in it.
