 Inspiring Success Stories from Real Virtual Assistants
Angela Ohme: From Stuck to Steady Growth On Her Terms
After two years as a Virtual Assistant with little growth, Angela was ready for change. She had three clients but was billing less than 20 hours a month—and didn’t know how to move forward.
After joining Belinda’s free training in June 2023, she enrolled in VA School and got to work.
In just three months, Angela landed three new clients and doubled her billing. By the end of the year, she had 11 clients, billed 25 hours a week, and took most Fridays off to volunteer in her community.
"My business doubled within three months. I confidently raised my prices, and it doubled again!"

Shamayne Brown: From Retail Burnout to VA Freedom
Working full-time in retail left Shamayne drained and dreaming of a more flexible life. She had the skills, but no clear path to turn them into a business.
After following Belinda’s newsletter for years, she joined the free training in 2023—and finally felt ready to leap.
Now, she’s billing 30+ hours a week, has tripled her hourly rate, and enjoys the flexibility to set her own schedule and live life on her terms.
"Becoming a Virtual Assistant has completely changed my life. I couldn’t be more grateful."

Casandra Taylor: From Corporate Cubicle to $60/Hour VA Work
After stepping away from her IT career to homeschool her kids, Casandra returned to corporate—only to be told to relocate just to sit in a cubicle and work remotely.
That’s when she found VA School.
With Belinda’s guidance and support, Casandra launched her business in December, landed her first client in January, and had recouped her startup costs by February.
Now she’s billing 10–12 hours a week at $60/hour, with a plan to grow to 25 hours—on her terms.
“My business now feels like a natural extension of who I am.”

Cindy Howard: From Struggling Single Mom to Steady VA Success
Before VA School, Cindy was stuck in a cycle of low-paying work-from-home jobs that left her frustrated and exhausted. As a single mom, she feared she’d have to take on two jobs outside the home just to make ends meet.
Then she found Belinda’s tree training—and everything changed.
She joined VA School in September 2022, and within two months, her business was up and running with two paying clients.
Since then, Cindy has maintained a steady client base, earns consistent income working part-time hours, and is now even saving for a house.
“I never thought this would be possible. VA School gave me everything I needed—support, resources, and a community that helped me succeed.”
—Cindy Howard, VA School Graduate

Laurie McAleenan:Â From Juggling Side Hustles to Sustainable Success
Before joining VA School, Laurie was an overworked, underpaid stay-at-home mom balancing volunteer work and multiple side hustles. With her youngest child about to graduate, she was ready for a new chapter—one with flexibility, freedom, and meaningful income.
She didn’t want to rebuild a traditional career. She wanted something better.
Within 30 days of starting VA School, Laurie landed her first client.
Within six months, she hit her first-year income goal—earning $2K/month working just 12 billable hours a week.
VA School helped her turn 18 years of experience into a real business—with mindset coaching, skill-building, and a supportive community that made all the difference.
“Trusting the process and taking consistent action made VA School one of the best investments I’ve ever made.”

George Betts: From Unsure to Up and Running with Confidence
When George started his VA journey in April 2024, he wasn’t sure he could do it. Building websites? Writing newsletters? It all felt overwhelming—until he joined VA School.
With Belinda’s step-by-step training and encouragement, everything changed.
He launched his own website, created a client-friendly payment system, and now publishes a monthly newsletter. With ongoing support from the VA School community, George continues to grow and gain confidence every day.
“VA School gave me everything I needed to start and grow my business—and shifted me from doubt to a can-do mindset.”
