Is good but the basics.

By Audreana Laxa on 12/14/2021

Very informative lectures. Although there were many lectures, they were cut pretty short which was good for me because I have a short attention span. It gave me a good idea of what to expect & prepare for as a virtual assistant & business owner before diving into the actual thing. Overall very happy with what I learned. It was definitely worth the money!

By Laura White on 8/1/2021

This was such a great course to start with! Tina makes everything very easy to understand and really dives into the why of each topic, which is huge for me. I now have a very clear picture of how to start my business, how to set my rates, how to write my contract, how to communicate effectively with clients, where to invest money and where to find quality free resources, and also what tools to learn more about first - plus, lots of great extras! This course is worth every penny. I can not thank Tina enough!

By Cristina Guevarra on 11/15/2020

Yes, so far so good.

By Tonia Lepper on 11/15/2020

Awful! I can't sit for hours staring at a picture during a "lecture". Very basic filler information. Not what I paid for!

By Chelsea Alexandra Gibbs on 11/8/2020

Excellent so far I am very impressed

By Tunde Bodri on 11/8/2020

Great course, lots of information, useful materials. I still want to do it, but have some learning to do before I start.

By Dyna Natalia on 10/27/2020

So far the materials are very insightful :)

By Christina Qvam on 10/19/2020

First and foremost, I found the best effect of this course was to streamline my own head a little bit. What to focus on first and then next in preparation to start my own VA business. The templates were also simple enough, but just like with the information, little which I wouldn't have been able to put together on my own or didn't knew from before. I also wasn't too much of a fan with the overall "can't do this and don't do this" tone of the course, but that's just my personal taste. It's a good enough course for the discounted rate, but I'm happy I didn't pay more :)

By Karla Zamor on 10/17/2020

It's very informative. It's a good match for me.

By Katherine Dawson Malone on 10/12/2020

Yes very interesting so far
Mentioned topics I didnt even think about
