ENROLLING NOW! 〰️

Join this 12 week live group program to help you start your Virtual Assistant business from scratch.

We'll be starting from the very beginning covering all things from narrowing in on the skills you already have that you can start charging clients for, to finding clients that you're excited to work with, to building your website, to marketing your business for success.

If you want a life and business built around freedom and flexibility as a Virtual Assistant, this program will help you get there! 😊

Does this sound like you?

You’re unhappy in your current 9-5 and you day dream about ways that you can leave.

You hate your commute, you dislike your micro-managing boss and your toxic colleagues and you’re frustrated because you know you were meant for more than this.

OR…

You’ve got your beautiful babies at home (or maybe you’re on maternity leave or planning to start a family soon) and you HATE the idea of having to leave your kiddos at home to go work for “the man”.

OR…

You were born to wanderlust. You live to travel and see the world. But you know you can’t fulfil your dreams if you’re chained to a desk in a single location.

You KNOW that there is more to life than this. You’ve talked about it with your partner and you’ve researched ways to make it work.
😊


(How many times have you googled “Work from home jobs”. Be real!)

We’ve all been there (I have too!)

And you DON’T want to do MLM, Direct Sales or anything else that makes you feel icky.

WHAT IF YOU COULD DO THIS INSTEAD?

Imagine what your life could look like if you did this instead:

  • Started your own business working when you want, WHERE you want (with your babies or fur babies by your side)

  • Woke up every morning, with your favourite cup of coffee in hand knowing that you have a joy-filled day ahead of you

  • Did work that excited you - and that you were GOOD at

  • Only worked with clients that brought you joy

  • Earned an income on your own terms (and that wasn’t capped)

  • Lived a flexible life, always being able to put the important things first

HERE’S HOW I CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE THIS

My big passion in life is helping women start location-independent businesses as Virtual Assistants!

Even if you don’t have prior admin experience. You can start exactly where you are! 🎉


I help you:

  • Design your dream business and work with you to create a roadmap for getting there

  • Discover the skills you already have that you can package up and offer a service

  • Teach you the most in-demand skills business owners are looking for right now

  • Build an irresistible brand that attracts your ideal clients

  • Develop an aligned marketing strategy so that you can onboard clients over and over again

  • Create a strategy for scaling so that you’re able to serve more clients (by working less)


    At the rate online business is growing, Virtual Assistants are more in-demand than EVER before. There is a massive opportunity right now for anyone looking to become a successful Virtual Assistant!

    Don’t let this opportunity pass you by!

Hannah earned her investment back 9x in 1 month!


I started out not knowing which direction to go with my virtual assistant business. After having an hour strategy session with Maria I knew which way to take my virtual assistant business. With Maria's guidance I have gone from zero clients to a team. If it was not for her advice, encouragement, and, sometimes, a little tough love I would not be where I am today. She knows the right questions to ask to get you to your goals, through your goals, and beyond those goals. She is hands down one of the most amazing people in the industry.

Michelle started working with her ideal client 2 weeks into the course!

Maria is incredibly talented and a natural coach. Her guidance challenged me to get out of my comfort zone, look beyond the day to day and focus more on building a business that would incorporate all my passions and strengths. Her knowledge and willingness to connect me to her network garnered me my first client within our first few weeks working together. Her uplifting, positive, and fun personality make her easy to open up to and wonderful to work with. She has not only been an amazing coach but also a caring mentor, and the lessons she has provided have inspired and motivated me to live a life aligned with my values and passions. Maria is truly one-of-a-kind, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an intuitive, sincere, and deeply passionate coach.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Maria Carras
CEO, Maria Carras Creative
The Inner Circle for Virtual Assistants

Hello, hello! You're probably wondering why I'm the best person to teach you how to be an awesome VA. Well, here goes...

I started my business as a virtual assistant back in 2012 and eventually turned my one-woman show into an agency, Maria Carras Creative supporting coaches, creatives and online educators with their admin, marketing and copy needs.

I've worked with lots of different clients all over the world in a variety of different industries and I've learnt loads along the way. And gosh, has it been FUN!

We continue to work with clients until this day and have our finger on the pulse of what’s working and what’s not in the online space. Alongside working with clients, we also run a monthly membership for Virtual Assistants called The Inner Circle for Virtual Assistants.

Over the years, we've helped dozens of virtual assistants find their ideal clients and have matched over 600+ businesses with virtual assistants from The Inner Circle.

I help women live a life of freedom to make their own choices: where they work, when they work, who they work with, how much they make. I help them take days off to spend time with their kids or fur babies without having to ask for permission. And I help them say no to clients that aren't a good fit for them.

And they do all this while building a happy and abundant life.

I want the same for you. I want to share with you exactly how I managed to do this for myself and the steps I took that got me to where I am today.

It's really not hard. It's just about knowing what those steps are and actually taking action on them.

And this program is all about sharing these steps with you and guiding you through them. It's about holding you accountable so that change is inevitable.

I’m sharing everything I know about starting and building a thriving virtual assistant business in my Launch Your Virtual Assistant Business 12-Week Group program and I'm inviting YOU to join us on this exciting journey!

Are you in?

GOT QUESTIONS? I'VE GOT ANSWERS.
 

  • It's a high-touch, group program where I work directly with you in a group setting to help you launch an amazing and sustainable Virtual Assistant Business. You get lots of amazing bonuses too! You can learn all about the program here if you scroll above! ☝🏻☝🏻

  • The program starts on April 22 and our first meeting is on Weds April 24. It lasts for 12 weeks until July 10! So excited! :)

  • We meet on Zoom for one hour every week for 12 weeks. You'll also need an additional 1-2 hours per week to complete your weekly assignments. All in, I would say you'll only need about 3 hours per week to get through the sessions and materials.

  • The live calls are currently listed as taking place at 6pm BST / 1pm EST / 10am PST / 5am (Sydney) next day. If you can't make the live calls you'll get the recordings. If we find that a better time suits the group, I am open to changing the time! But we'll know more once we see who's in the program :)

  • ​Yes, absolutely! We have two options for payment -- and are currently offering HUGE savings with our Early Bird offer that expires this Tuesday, April 16. The discounted rates for payment right now are:

    1) Discounted Payment Plan: $799
    USD x 3 payments (normally $997 USD)

    2) Discounted Full Payment (Best Value)
    $1,997 USD x 1 payment (normally $2,497 USD)

  • You get 12 weeks of high-touch support from me in a group setting to help you launch an amazing Virtual Assistant business. You'll learn how to set your pricing, create your packages, build your portfolio, create your website, set up your systems and market yourself so you're attracting your dream clients. Plus so much more!

    The program is comprised of weekly hour-long Zoom calls. There are 6-modules in the program and we dedicate two weeks to each module. One week is for teaching and assigning homework and the following week is for reviewing homework and giving feedback.

    You ALSO get these amazing bonuses 🎉

    - Lifetime access to The Inner Circle for Virtual Assistants (worth $1,999)

    - An opportunity for a paid internship once the program is fully completed

    - Savings on any future products or programs I create

  • Definitely! I want you to feel like you can connect with each other in an intimate space so we'll have a private messaging platform to connect with each other.

  • I'm only accepting 10 women into the program as I want this to be a small, supportive group and I want to be able to give you my undivided support and attention.

  • All you need to do is visit this website, pick the payment plan that works for you and complete payment. Once you're registered you'll receive all the info you need to log into the learning portal and get ready for the program 😊.

    Go here if you're ready to enroll: www.mariacarras.com/groupprogram

  • Yes, absolutely! My teachings are not tied to a specific country! The things you'll learn in this program will help you to build your business and brand and attract clients no matter where you are in the world!

  • I completely understand where you're coming from! It's a scary (but exciting time for you) - but I think also a time of amazing opportunity. You now have all the time in the world to spend on yourself and on your goals and really commit to them, but it can be frustrating not knowing what you need to do first and how to take it from there. That's what's so special about the group program, I guide you every step of the way -- not to mention the amazing accountability you'll get not just from me, but from the other ladies in the program.

    BUT, I also want to add that I don't want you to do anything that you're not financially comfortable with. If it's not feasible for you right now, then I would not recommend you do it. You need to be in the right mindset to get the most out of the program and I don't think you should be coming into it from a place of fear or anxiety. If you have any concerns about this, please reach out!

  • I (Maria) have over 10+ years experience in the Virtual Assitance and online business space. I’ve worked as a one-woman show, I’ve run an agency, I’ve helped Virtual Assistants get hired and I’ve helped businesses hire Virtual Assistance. I’ve been through the trenches and have come out the other side smiling and thriving! ☺️☺️

    I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table and not only that, but I’ve created a system and process to share it with my students in an effective way that gets them the results they seek! I’ve done the hard stuff so that you don’t have to!

    Not only do you get the knowledge, resources and templates you need to start and grow but you also get the paid internship opportunities that I haven’t seen other programs offer before!

  • I only run it once a year so now’s your chance to jump on it!
