VA Coach, Mentor & Trainer
“If you are anything like me, you absolutely love being a mum but you’re also career driven and ambitious.”
Which is what led me to begin this journey..​
​
Hey, I’m Ash
CEO of Next Stop Employment and mum of 2 boys.
I’m on a mission to help women build a thriving virtual assistant business giving them the freedom & flexibility to work on their own terms!
​
My Values
Family.. Integrity… Connection.. Community.. Fun
Family–Empowering women to achieve genuine work life balance.
Connection – Fostering a supportive and inclusive environment built on connection, mutual respect and trust.
Community – Embracing community over competition.
Fun – Infusing more fun and enjoyment in the learning process.
​
What makes me unique
I support you navigate every stage of your VA business – Startup, Growth & Scale through various programs, courses and mentoring. I don’t provide you with a blueprint to success because there is no one size fits all approach. Instead, I deliver bespoke and tailored support & strategy so that you can build a business that is uniquely yours. A business that reflects your values, your goals and your lifestyle.

“I wanted to be there for all those precious milestones whilst doing something I absolutely loved.”
How it all started
Like most mums, the thought of returning to a 9-5 job whilst on maternity leave didn’t sit well with me. I wanted to stay home with my baby boy and be present for all those important milestones. So in 2017 I started a side gig as a resume writer. In small pockets of time, I built a career services business supporting women return to work with confidence through coaching, interview preparation and application writing. 18 months later I added VA services to my business model, helping SME’s with their admin, recruitment and marketing and within 4 months I was fully booked working less than 20 hour weeks around my toddler.
After building 2 successful businesses I wanted to teach other women how to create success online too, so 3 years ago I moved into VA Coaching.
​
Where we are at now
Since 2021 I have supported almost 350 women build their work from anywhere business
The Startup Virtual Assistants Australia community has grown to almost 8k members
I have created a range of group coaching, mentoring and self paced study options to help women build and grow their VA business
I’d love to chat with you further to see if I am the right coach for you!
