In your own space, in your own time, doing work that you're passionate about, and earning good money at the same time?

I've been doing exactly that as a Virtual Assistant for the past 7 years.

From starting out as a one-woman show charging $7/hour (yes, don't judge), I've now grown my business into a Virtual Assistant agency which basically runs itself.

Now that I have a team to help me with clients, I can focus on what I've always wanted to do and that is to teach YOU how you can grow a location-independent business too!

REVIEWS

"If you are on the fence about signing up for Maria's coaching, please read this. 

I started off working with Maria last summer with a one-hour strategy call. In that call, she helped me nail down my ideal client. I just went through her VIP coaching and just the calls are worth the price of the program. She helps you work through anything that is holding you back.

Because of my coaching with Maria, I am now growing a TEAM!!! I do not have a website, Facebook page, or Instagram. I have very satisfied clients who send me more clients. Maria is amazing!!"

"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."
