What is a Virtual Assistant?
A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a self employed professional providing administrative, secretarial and support services on a remote basis. Working from their own fully equipped office, VAs work with a variety of different clients helping them in their businesses on an ad hoc, regular or project specific basis.
By partnering with their own VA, businesses and individuals can make more money by focusing on what they do best and growing their business.
Take a look through our website to see the types of services we offer, the benefits to using a Virtual Assistant and look at our frequently asked questions section.
Who is Emma Walker?
My first business venture in 2005 was a West Midlands based Virtual Assistant business, www.ckpa.co.uk, which specialised in helping coaches, entrepreneurs and home-based businesses concentrate on the money making activities within their businesses by providing full PA support.
I am also Co-Founder of VA Success Group, teaming up with another successful Virtual Assistant industry leader, Justine Curtis, to provide aspiring and existing Virtual Assistants with resources, training and products to help them create their perfect VA business.
In 2010, I transformed my virtual assistant business into its current form – a business mentor, which helps mothers to succeed in business and become ‘mumpreneurs’. The Mumpreneur’s Mentor offers a variety of products, tools and resources designed to help mothers transform their ideas into successful businesses, the easy way!
I have teamed up again with business partner Justine, to create the Academy for Online Business which helps mumpreneur’s, self employed professionals and solo business owners start their own online business empire and stop trading time for money – whilst earning more!
I fit running my different businesses around my young daughter, Megan. Being my own boss has allowed me to devote extra time to Megan, and to watch her grow and develop into an amazing little girl, who is the inspiration behind everything that I do.
I am a serial entrepreneur, author and busy mum.

I am really passionate about the Virtual Assistant industry as it is truly supportive and full of some amazing people. One thing I don't like is when the small minority of people dictate what skills, experience and knowledge you need to become a Virtual Assistant.
Having established my VA business, I was keen to share my knowledge as I felt there was a gap in the market for information relating to starting and operating a business, especially a virtual assistant business with all the basic information you needed.
So You Want To Become A Virtual Assistant eBook was created as a platform to offer this information to anyone interested in starting their own VA business.
Who is So You Want To Become A Virtual Assistant eBook for?
It is for all aspiring Virtual Assistants who want to find out some of the basics of starting and running a Virtual Assistant business in the UK. There are some great books out there but the majority of them focus on America or Canada – we do things slightly differently in the UK and I wrote this book to reflect those differences.
This ebook is also for Virtual Assistants who have already started their business and want some practical and honest advice from someone who has been there.
So whether you are looking for basic information, practical advice, proven strategies or motivation… So You Want To Become A Virtual Assistant eBook is for you!

Testimonials about So You Want To Become A Virtual Assistant eBook
"The book is full of valuable information in a simple, easy to follow format that clearly defines all the areas a VA needs to address at start up and beyond. I wish there had been something like this around when I started up in 2001 – it would have made life a lot easier!
Even though I've been in business for a while now I still found little gems in there that have ‘jump started' my enthusiasm and got the juices running again.
Well done, great book and I'm sure many future VAs will find it invaluable to their start up."
