Want a Coach in Your Purse?

Yes, really.

Personalized business mentorship with Tawnya Sutherland — daily access, clear direction, and accountability that actually moves the needle.

Ever wish you could carry a business coach in your purse?

Now you can.

Through weekday Voxer access and monthly private strategy calls, you’ll get real-time guidance and support — whenever you need it — from someone who’s been in your shoes (and probably your inbox too).

Feeling stuck in your business?

You’re working hard — maybe too hard — but the momentum just isn’t there.

You’ve got clients, ideas, and ambition, but not enough clarity or consistency to turn all that effort into income.

I get it. I’ve been there.

I’m Tawnya Sutherland, founder of the Virtual Assistant Networking Association (VANA) and coach to thousands of Virtual Assistants, freelancers, and service providers since 2003.

Over the past 25+ years, I’ve built multiple six-figure online businesses from the ground up — all while raising three kids solo and figuring out the digital world long before “remote work” was even a thing.

Now I help service-based entrepreneurs like you do the same — without the years of trial, error, and exhaustion it took me to get here.

When I was thinking about starting my Virtual Assistant business, I invested in her VAC System and opened my business. I signed on for additional coaching sessions and her advice and knowledge truly helped me propel my VA business forward to the six figure mark. The level of knowledge she has of Internet Marketing and also everything Virtual Assistant related really gave me the boost I needed to get my business going and going well. Her experiences are varied and very valuable; Tawnya started her own VA business from scratch and has many bits of advice that any new or newer VAs would do well to listen to and to take to heart. ~ Kathy Colaiacovo

What “Work With Me Daily Coaching” Really Means

This isn’t a course, and it’s not a one-off pep talk.

You’ll literally have me in your back pocket every weekday — through Voxer voice and text access (Mon–Fri) — plus a private 1-hour Zoom coaching session every month to deep-dive into your goals, strategies, and next steps.

We’ll work side-by-side on exactly what your business needs — no fluff, no filler.

You’ll get daily access for questions, feedback, ideas, and accountability — so you never spin your wheels or second-guess your next move again.

Who This Coaching Is For

You’re a great fit if you’re a:

  • Remote Worker like a Virtual Assistant, Freelancer, or Service Provider who is ready to grow
  • Business owner tired of second-guessing every move and craving clear direction
  • Go-getter who wants daily support, not just a once-a-month pep talk
  • Action-taker who’s ready to stop planning and start doing
  • Entrepreneur who wants to add new income streams (like affiliate marketing) and finally feel confident about your pricing, offers, and next steps
  • This coaching is designed for people who want a hands-on mentor — not just advice from afar.

Tawnya is an amazing coach. I’ve had the pleasure to work with her one-on-one as one of her coaching clients. She helped me streamline my website, find my focus for a specific niche and create my very first product – a video course. Tawnya is very professional to work with and she always knows the best ways and resources to help her clients. She is an expert in the field of Virtual Assistance and Internet Marketing. I highly recommend Tawnya to any Virtual Assistant looking to take her business to the next level. ~ Sarah Santacroce

I had the same client for years, then found myself needing to market for clients. I was feeling very stuck. I knew that I had great value to offer, but I had no idea how to present my services. My website was very out of date, to say the least. Through our coaching sessions, Tawnya gave me specific solid advice on how to match my skills to the updated services the market was asking for. She took me from being completely stuck to a freshly updated website, a great referral program, updated social media profiles, several ideas on how to build my email list, how to expand my services with current clients, and solid, doable tips on obtaining new clients. I had a business breakthrough after putting into place her revenue generating ideas and suggestions. I have gained confidence and clarity, a good solid game plan and more specifically have already signed on a new client.

    Meet Tawnya Sutherland

    I’ve been where you are — juggling clients, deadlines, and self-doubt while trying to build something bigger than just another job.

    Since launching my first Virtual Assistant business back in 1997, I’ve:

    • Built multiple six-figure online businesses over and over again

    • Founded the Virtual Assistant Networking Association (VANA) — the longest-running VA community online

    • Coached thousands of freelancers and service providers worldwide

    • Earned certification as an Internet Marketing Business Strategist from the University of British Columbia

    • Specialized in affiliate marketing, client attraction, and business automation for over two decades

    When you work with me, you don’t just get another coach — you get a partner who’s been through it all, learned the hard way, and knows how to fast-track your success.

    My coaching sessions with Tawnya Sutherland were even better than I’d hoped. Tawnya had me fill out a questionnaire ahead of time, and she considered all of my answers before we even met. She tailored our coaching sessions to what I wanted and needed. Tawnya patiently worked with me on my website and editing service packages and helped me narrow my focus. After meeting with Tawnya, I felt motiVAted(!) and ready to take on the next steps for my VA business. Access to the recordings is a wonderful bonus because I can go back to them anytime to make sure I haven’t missed anything. THANK YOU, Tawnya!! What a blessing you are to the virtual assistant community!
    Irene Chambers

    YES, Tawnya, I’m EXCITED to work with you and kick my virtual business into high gear.

    After being in a virtual assistant business for a few years I decided to invest in Tawnya’s coaching to revamp my website. With her experience in the VA and affiliate industry, I knew I would get results. During our sessions, she put things in perspective and let me use my creativity. Now a year later, my site is going strong. My podcast is about ready to launch! The end result showed the investment paid off. ~ Collette Schultz

    Having Tawnya by your side to mentor you through the growing pains of entrepreneurship is invaluable! Tawnya was my secret weapon during those times in my business growth and development when I wasn’t sure if I had what it took to be successful. Not to mention that I couldn’t help but absorb her amazing (and proven) marketing intuition. If you’re looking for a generous, compassionate coach who will help you find your inner compass for biz success, call Tawnya Sutherland! ~ Karri Flatla

    Q. Can I get you to coach me for one month only?

    A. No, I only offer my coaching with a minimum 3-month commitment. I’ve coached thousands of VAs and service providers over the years, and I’ve learned that success doesn’t happen overnight.

    It usually takes at least a few months to implement what you’ll learn and start seeing consistent results — and I want to be there to guide and support you through that process. ?

    Once you’ve completed your initial 3-month investment, you can continue month-to-month coaching for as long as you’d like.

    If it’s been over a year since we last worked together, you’ll just need to start fresh with a new 3-month commitment so we can get re-acquainted, review your updated goals, and build from there.

    Q. How does the Voxer coaching work?

    A. Voxer is a free voice and text messaging app that works like a walkie-talkie for business coaching. Once you sign up for my coaching, I’ll invite you to connect with me on Voxer so we can chat back and forth Monday through Friday.

    You can send me one focused business question per day — anything from pricing and marketing to clients and mindset — and I’ll reply with personalized feedback and guidance.

    Some questions I can answer quickly, while others may spark a short conversation as we work through it together. Either way, you’ll have me right in your pocket (or purse!) to keep your business moving forward between our monthly Zoom sessions.

    Q. Does one Voxer question about my business daily mean you will reply once only?

    A. Not necessarily! Sometimes your question can be answered in just a few words, but if it’s something more complex that needs a little back-and-forth, we might exchange a few messages to cover it fully.

    The idea is one focused question per day — not a limit on messages — so we can keep things productive and avoid overwhelm.

    Q. When does my coaching start after I sign up?

    A. Once you complete your purchase, you’ll receive a welcome email with a link to fill out your coaching questionnaire. After that, we’ll schedule your 20-minute onboarding call to review your goals and get you started on Voxer.

    Q. What days and times are you available on Voxer?

    Q. Do you coach on weekends or holidays?

    A. Nope — I take weekends and holidays off to recharge (and I encourage you to do the same ?).

    I work on the premise that there are 4 coaching weeks per month, which means for yearly clients, you’ll receive 48 coaching weeks per year.

    Yes, I do take holidays just like you should! But don’t worry — I always give plenty of notice and we’ll work around them together so your coaching time and momentum aren’t affected.

    Q. How fast will I see results?

    A. Everyone’s business — and pace — is different. Some clients experience quick wins and clarity shifts within the first few weeks, while others take a bit longer as they work through new strategies and build confidence.

    What I can promise is that if you show up, do the work, and stay consistent, you’ll make progress every single month. My job is to guide you, keep you accountable, and help you find momentum faster than trying to figure it all out on your own.

    Q. Do you offer refunds?

    A. No refunds are offered once coaching begins since you receive immediate access to my time, expertise, and guidance.

    When you join, I set aside specific hours just for you — time that can’t be rescheduled or offered to another client. Because this is a personalized coaching relationship, your success depends on your active participation and commitment.

    That said, I’ll be right there beside you every step of the way, helping you get the most out of our time together. ?

    Q. What if I’m brand new to business — will this still help me?

    A. Absolutely! I coach both new and established service providers. If you’re newer, we’ll focus on setting up your foundations (pricing, offers, marketing plan). If you’re established, we’ll focus on growth, scaling, or adding new income streams like affiliate marketing

    I have had the opportunity to attend Tawnya’s coaching sessions and I can’t say there wasn’t a time I didn’t take away some knowledge and resourceful reference tools. I’m, for the most part, a very self-taught person, but even so, it was beneficial to me, and it will be for you to latch on to getting her as a coach regularly to gain helpful insight into establishing or growing a business. When I initially started my virtual assistance business, I knew my talents covered a variety of areas, which made it harder to figure out what I wanted my niche to be. During one of our coaching sessions, she offered ideas from observing my talents and made suggestions on how to go about in honing in on a niche. I felt she provided me with a clearer path on how to move forward. Also, she has been very supportive of my endeavor. I didn’t feel alone in my quest. She was easy to speak with and easily accessible. ~ Angela Atanasio-Medeiros
