Dear VA – Letters to the VA I Once Was
Real experiences, lessons learned and little reminders that you’re not alone on your VA journey.
Have you ever wished you could go back to the beginning of your VA journey and tell your younger self a few things you know now?
Perhaps you’d reassure yourself that finding clients takes time, that not every opportunity will be the right one, or that it’s ok not to have all the answers.
That’s exactly where Dear VA – Letters to the VA I Once Was began.
I’m Amanda, founder of Virtual Delegation, and I’ve been working as a VA since 2012. Over the years, I’ve experienced the highs, the challenges, the unexpected lessons and the realities of running my own VA business.
There are so many things I wish I’d known when I started out, and Dear VA is my way of sharing those experiences with other VAs.
Whether you’re thinking about becoming a VA, just starting out or have years of experience behind you, I hope you’ll find something here that resonates with you, because no matter how experienced we become, there’s always something new to learn and sometimes, we all need a little reminder that we’re not alone.
The E-Book
Dear VA – Letters to the VA I Once Was is a collection of 52 letters inspired by my experiences as a VA.
Each letter explores a different aspect of VA life, from the early days of finding your feet to the challenges, decisions and lessons that come with running a business of your own.
This isn’t a step-by-step guide to building a six-figure business. It’s something much more personal. It’s about the things we learn along the way, the moments that shape us, the mistakes that teach us something valuable and the reminders we sometimes need to hear.
Written with honesty, warmth and a little encouragement, these letters are for VAs at every stage of their journey.
This book is for you if you want to:
- Reflect on your own experiences as a VA.
- Feel reassured that the challenges you face are part of the journey.
- Learn from the experiences of someone who’s been working as a VA for over a decade.
- Find encouragement when business doesn’t quite go to plan.
- Remind yourself how far you’ve come.
If you’ve ever wished you had someone to turn to who understands what being a VA is really like, I hope these letters feel like a friendly conversation with someone who’s been there.
The Flashcards
Sometimes, you don’t have time to sit down and read a whole letter. Sometimes, you just need a few words that speak to you in that moment.
That’s why I’ve created the Dear VA Flashcards.
Inspired by the book, the collection contains 52 individual digital flashcards, each featuring the same title as one of the letters, alongside a short snippet from that letter.
They’re little bite-sized reminders of the experiences, lessons and thoughts behind Dear VA, designed to give you a moment to pause, reflect and take something positive into your day.
What’s included?
- 52 individual digital flashcards.
- A snippet inspired by each of the 52 letters.
- One convenient ZIP download containing all the files.
- The flexibility to browse through the cards whenever you need a little encouragement.
Keep them on your computer, revisit your favourites or print them.
Choose a card that catches your eye, find a snippet that resonates with you or simply take a moment to remind yourself that you’re learning and growing, even on the difficult days.
Whether you’re a new VA finding your feet or an established VA navigating your next chapter, these little reminders are here to offer encouragement along the way.
Please note: The flashcards are a digital product supplied as a ZIP file containing 52 individual files. No physical cards will be posted.
