Think being a Virtual Assistant is all about diary management, sorting through emails, and keeping the books tidy? Think again! The world of VA work is evolving, and it’s time to break out of the box we’ve been put in. Are you a Virtual Assistant or an Online Business Manager?
Beyond the Basics
Starting the Dazzling VA Academy was driven by a passion to redefine what it means to be a Virtual Assistant in today's world. The VA world has changed significantly since I started over 10 years ago. For a start people have an idea what a VA is now, when I started I spent A LOT of time having to explain.
This is a call out to all aspiring and established VAs to raise their game beyond the traditional tasks of email and diary management. The digital space offers a HUGE playground for VAs to explore and excel in areas like social media management, content creation, blog writing, email marketing, podcast support, website maintenance, customer relationship management, membership/course building, launch management and so much more. These areas open doors to not just support businesses but to actively contribute to their growth and success.
Being a VA offers the incredible perks of being your own boss and enjoying the flexibility that comes with it. You can design your work around your life, not the other way around, making it a perfect career path for those seeking a balanced and fulfilling professional life. But there’s more to it than just ticking off tasks. Thinking on a project level, being proactive, and anticipating the needs that push a client’s business forward is where you move from being a VA into an Online Business Managers role. It becomes about seeing the big picture, understanding the end goals, and implementing strategies that weave those goals into reality.
At the Dazzling VA Academy, we're not just about creating task-takers, we're nurturing forward-thinkers, problem-solvers, and business enhancers who are integral to the success stories they help write.

From Loss To Leader
Hi, I'm Siân and my adventure into the world of business wasn’t just about chasing a dream. It turned into my lifeline when life threw some pretty big surprises my way.
Back when I started as The Admin Genie, which later blossomed into Digitally Dazzling, I had no idea what was in store. Just as things were getting exciting, my world was rocked - my husband was diagnosed with cancer.
This twist meant I had to juggle being there for him with keeping my business dreams alive, teaching me a thing or two about being flexible and resilient.
Losing my husband was a heartbreak like no other, leaving me to fend for our family alone. But here’s the thing - it also lit a fire in me. I decided to turn my part-time passion into a full-on business venture. It was all about making things work, learning on the fly, and never saying "I can't." And you know what? It worked.
"I aspire to be the kind of widow my
husband would be proud of."
Now, I spend my days not just managing online businesses but empowering others just like you to step into your power and make your mark in the digital world. It's been quite the ride, with plenty of ups and downs. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that with a bit of grit and a whole lot of heart, anything is possible. So, if I can do it, believe me, you can too!
