How Teagan Built a Thriving VA Business from Scratch

In this episode, I sit down with VA Mastery client Teagan, who went from 17 years in the same job to building her own fully booked virtual assistant business. We unpack her journey, the mindset blocks she had to overcome, and the real strategy that helped her land dream clients early on. This is the behind-the-scenes story you need to hear if you're thinking of starting but holding yourself back.

✨ In This Episode, We Cover:

• How Teagan transitioned from corporate to self-employed VA
• What fears came up (and how she moved through them)
• The strategy she used to land her first client before even launching
• Why your biggest challenge won’t be competition — it’ll be self-doubt
• Her honest experience inside the VA Mastery program
• The importance of community, financial clarity, and not waiting for perfection
• What she’d do differently if she had to start all over again.
