Today This Secret Could Flip the Switch.
Aug 31, 2026
I want to share some numbers with you.
Not because I love data. But because these numbers tell a story most women don't know.
According to the Harvard Business Review, more than half of small and medium businesses in North America have either hired a Virtual Assistant or plan to within the next year.
More than half.
The Virtual Assistant services market is $6.5 billion today. By 2035, it's projected to hit $43.4 billion. That's not a trend. That's a shift.
Here's why this matters to you.
On one side, we have women leaving jobs that don't fit their lives. Done with the commute. Done asking permission. Done being undervalued.
On the other side, we have small business owners who are drowning. They're managing their own calendars, answering their own emails, posting their own social media, chasing their own invoices. They need help. Real help.
That's not a problem. That's an opportunity.
And when you look at what Virtual Assistants actually get hired to do, the biggest categories are not complicated technical work. They're everyday administrative support and marketing. Together, more than 60% of all VA work. Calendar management. Email. Research. Writing. Scheduling. Social media. Customer service. Project coordination.
And if you're already a Virtual Assistant but you're not seeing these kinds of results - if you're stuck at lower rates, struggling to find clients, or wondering why it's not clicking for you - it's not because the opportunity isn't there.
The opportunity is there. What's missing is the system.
Whether you realize it or not, you've been doing this kind of work your entire adult life. In jobs. In volunteer roles. Running a household. Keeping things moving for other people. The difference is, you've been doing it for free or for someone else's dream.
What if you did it for yourself?
The Virtual Assistants I've trained charge anywhere from $40 to $85 an hour. Part-time hours. Real income.
15 hours a week at $50 an hour is $3,000 a month.
20 hours a week at $60 an hour is almost $5,000 a month.
25 hours a week at $70 an hour is $7,000 a month.
Working from home. On your own schedule. With clients you choose.
And three out of four businesses hiring Virtual Assistants want someone in their own country. Time zones, trust, communication. They're not shopping for the cheapest option. They're shopping for capable, reliable, and professional.
That's you.
I'm not saying this is easy. I'm saying it's real. And I'm saying the opportunity is bigger than most people realize.
If you've been wondering whether this could work for you, I'm hosting a free training called the VA Business Launch Pad.
