Build a booked-out, soul-filling virtual assistant business you LOVE to work in
Through courses & coaching. All inside The VA Foundry — a dedicated learning hub for ambitious VAs.
Figuring out how to launch — and then scale — a virtual assistant business isn’t easy.
But whoever said you had to figure it out alone?
Whether you’re hoping to quit your 9-5 & launch your own business or you’re an established VA looking to scale, we’re here to help you reach your version of success.
Not through hustle and burnout. Through expert education & resources designed to help you step into your role as CEO of your business — a role that empowers you to dream big dreams, make big moves, and feel the relief of all those messy puzzle pieces finally *clicking* into place.
Information overload isn't just a problem for your computer.
It’s kinda taxing on your brain, too
In some ways, it’s AMAZING there’s so much content available at your fingertips 24/7.
The only downside?
The ‘facts’ are a bit contradictory. And the ‘experts’ telling you what success should look like aren’t always… ahem… verified.
- ‘You must post on Instagram twice a day!’
- ‘You must aim for multiple six figures!’
- ‘You must embrace the hustle!’
- ‘You must grow a 30-strong team!’
- ‘You must start your day at 5am!’
- *insert every other pearl of 🫠-inducing ‘wisdom’ here*
Truth be told — success looks wildly different to everyone.
We do have something in common though, us ambitious business owners: we want success to feel as good in our soul as it looks in our bank account.
We want to enjoy the work we do. We want to work with epic clients. We want that elusive work/life balance so we can stop watching the clock all day.
If you’re nodding along (or screaming YES!!) — you’re in the right place. We’re here to tell you this is all within your reach.

“You know the phrase when the penny drops? Well, I had more like ‘when the $2 coin drops’ moments in my last coaching call.
The process was logical, relaxed, and inspiring.
In the end, I had a coherent plan of action, direction, and an enormous amount of excitement for my future business plan and goals.”
~ Wendy Brown
“Taking part in the 'Launch in 30 Days' course was the best decision I ever made for my business. The course gave me clarity and tons of tips/best practice methods that had never before crossed my mind.
Sam & Jo know their stuff 100% and the other amazing ladies who participated in the course created such an encouraging and supportive environment. We cheered each other on, shared our progress, and together elevated our skills and businesses.”

Let’s make sure you’re first on their wish list.
“I give 100% credit to The VA Foundry for where I am today (and a little bit of me of course).
I went from low self-confidence in a corporate company where I felt everything I did wasn't 'right'...to feeling empowered and proud that I have set myself up to earn more income than I was earning in that job – with more freedom and flexibility.”
~ Tash Budd
“I’ve been a part of the Mastermind for a couple of years now and honestly, I don’t foresee myself leaving.
Sam and Jo have built a community of exceptional virtual assistants — so you not only get your coaches' expertise, but the expertise of your fellow VAs.”
~ Tuesday Semmens
“I’d been entertaining the idea of becoming a VA but really, where to start!? Then I saw the opportunity to complete this 7 step formula mini course and it just fit.
The steps are clear, concise and manageable. Jo and Sam's way of sharing knowledge and encouragement is also super relatable.
So just do it! Get out of your head and take that next step.”
