Hi, I’m Susan Mershon – The Techie Mentor.
I created my Free Virtual Assistant Training because there is SO much information out there about being a Virtual Assistant. Some good and some NOT. And I know how overwhelming trying to figure out the basics of getting started, getting clients, and earning money as a Virtual Assistant can be.
The membership is subject to the Free VA Training Vault Membership Agreement.
I was overwhelmed with all you could find online about becoming a VA. I took the free training vault course with Susan, and it opened my eyes to what I can accomplish by trusting myself, investing in good training and of course, lots of hard work. I learned a lot from Susan, and especially how to get clients. Thank you, Susan.

“Thanks so much for free access to your course. It was a real eye-opener, and it has already shaped how I am preparing to open my business by getting all my ducks in a row for September, when hopefully I go live. Like you, I am a systems freak, so this training has ticked so many boxes for me. Can’t believe you give this free! I’m going to be getting the blueprint next and techie u soon. Thanks for everything, Susan, you’re an inspiration!”

“Hi Susan, this is a very helpful video. Your passion shines through! Looking forward to watching the rest of these videos.”
~ Sian G.
“I’m in the beginning stages of setting up my VA business. I joined Susan’s Facebook group and found out about her Free VA Training Vault. I’m about 80% through the training videos and it’s an amazing resource! I’ve learned so much from her. Susan has a no-nonsense approach which I really like. She gets right to the point and each video is chock full of really useful information. After I finish the free Virtual Assistant training, my plan is to read all her blog posts and subscribe to her YouTube Channel. I highly recommend these training videos for anyone interested in learning more about the VA business. Thank you, Susan!

“Hey Susan, thank you for offering some form of structure and information for those of us out here that do not have a lot of expendable cash at the moment. This gives me a very good look at what being in the VA field is like and I’m finding this is exactly what I’ve been looking for – I feel like I can trust you, that you’re leveling with me, and not putting up so many walls that create a barrier to entry. I’m currently saving up to choose what course/coach I want to go with and I’ve got to say that you’ve definitely been the only one I’m considering thus far.”
~ Roan C.
“Thank you, I have been researching becoming a virtual assistant for a couple of years, Yes YEARS, getting lost in so much conflicting information and jumping from Guru to Guru, as a result, I have become completely overwhelmed, and have got nowhere. I love your no-nonsense; tell-it-how-it-is approach. I know I can do this but needed someone that would lay out what I need to do to get started and be successful. I am going to clear out my email subscriptions, unfollow a lot of VA fluff from my Instagram and Facebook feed and concentrate on creating a solid foundation for a successful business.”

How is this different than your Business Launch Blueprint?
The Business Launch Blueprint (formerly The VA Action Plan) is a do-it-yourself to-do workbook that includes tasks and documents for setting up your systems and processes when starting and launching a VA business. Unfortunately, the Free VA Training Vault does not have any of that.

Yes. But I invite you to judge for yourself. Sign up and try it out for yourself. What do you have to lose? It’s all free! This is the same training that people are charging hundreds of dollars for!

“I would like to thank you for the free VA Training Vault. The information you have in there is great. Thank you for your support and assistance.”
~ Vanessa
“Thank you for the follow-up, Susan. Yes, I watched a lot of your videos, they are insanely helpful as the VA industry sounds amazing and yet very overwhelming. You have given me a lot of clarity as to what a virtual assistant is and the tools to use to provide services. Another important thing you brought up is doing something that you’re passionate about. I was trying to break in doing the same thing I do now and hate. I am going in as a coach for fitness, which has been my happiness and passion all my life. Planning on using the tips and tricks to build an online coaching business. First focusing on me and learning the tools. I look forward to watching more videos to educate myself about the industry. Thank you for all that you do.”
~ Jenn
