The Freedom To Work When And Where You Want

What I Do
I teach real strategies and systems for getting started, getting clients, and creating a profitable business that supports the lifestyle you crave. No fluff or filler included!

Who I Help
I help professional women who love systems take control of their future by running their own successful VA business as consultants, not assistants.

Who I Am
I’m Susan Mershon and I started The Techie Mentor™ in 2013 to teach my no-fluff approach to the strategies, systems and skills Virtual Assistants need to create, build and grow a profitable and sustainable business.

How I'm Different
I teach what the majority of VA courses don’t: In-demand specialty skills that can earn you up to 4x more than typical admin work + how to market your biz to land dream clients using digital marketing strategies that get results.
I Help VAs Charge Premium Rates…
+ Land Their Dream Clients. So They Have The Freedom To Work When And Where They Want.
