You know there's more to life than your current job. You dream about working for yourself so you can earn money online without sacrificing your time. But you're not sure where or how to start.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING:
"My current job isn't *that* bad, it's safe" all I know" reliable" enough for now"
Is it though?
I totally understand where you’re at now. Having a reliable job that pays the bills is something to be thankful for…
…butttt if you wake up every morning and dread the day ahead at work and count down the minutes/hours/days until the weekend, this is a sign that you’re not 100% happy with where you’re currently at in life.
You know deep down you’re destined for more. That it’s possible to earn a living while doing work that you actually enjoy and that lights you up.
LET'S GET REAL FOR A MINUTE.
HERE'S THE BIG PROBLEM...
- You're feeling uninspired each day at work - working hard for little reward and no time to enjoy life with your family...
- You're tired of the constant juggle of work and family life and feeling guilty all the time...
- You wish you could have more flexibility, take time off when it suits you and not need your leave approved from your boss...
- You daydream about quitting your job and being your own boss
- You take days off here and there for kids appointments or friends' weddings, but nothing as exciting as an extended holiday or trip away...
- Your work colleagues aren't the type of people you'd normally want to hang out with day in and day out...
- You're not sure if you can stick with this job for years to come - the thought of it makes you depressed...
- You feel like you're losing your skills and you worry that as each year goes by you'll be less employable...
- You feel stuck about where you are in life but you're not sure what to do next.
And while you’ve Googled every “dream job” listing in the hopes that you’ll find the perfect job that will suit you…
…You can’t shake the idea that maybe being your own boss could be the answer.
IT'S OKAY, I GET IT:
STARTING YOUR OWN BUSINESS MIGHT FEEL SCARY, AND EVEN RISKY...
…but what if taking the risk, even when it’s scary, means building a new career (and a life) full of joy, fulfilment and purpose?
IMAGINE YOUR LIFE IF...
- Your work is fulfilling and rewarding AND it gave you financial security. You get paid well for doing what you love.
- You have the flexibility and freedom to work whenever, wherever and with whoever you want (as long as your work gets done).
- You can work with clients all over the world. You aren't limited to opportunities in your local area.
- You can get started on your new journey towards your dream life today with zero experience.
IT STARTS WITH WHAT'S POSSIBLE
What if you could...
- go to a cute cafe to do your work while sipping on an espresso
- take Friday off work to grab lunch with friends
- work with people that are inspiring, kind and treat you with respect
- stay in your pjs and work from home, skipping the long commute
- go on that girls trip that is totally overdue
- increase your earning capacity doing work that lights up your soul
It’s time to take away the overwhelm and confusion of trying to figure out how to
start working online in your own business.
I’m here to show you how you can have the freedom and flexibility to work whenever and wherever you want. On your own terms.
You can simply get started today.
It can take weeks… Months… Heck, YEARS to learn the ins and outs of becoming
successful in your own business.
That is… If you’re trying to figure this all out by yourself. But luckily I’m here to guide you through what you need to know to get started as an entrepreneur.
By the end of this course, you’ll have the clarity, direction and confidence, as well as the tools and skills to start working in your digital business.
I promise you… a hell of a lot can change in a matter of weeks
What would it mean for you if you could be your own boss? Trying something different could help you get that sense of purpose and joy you know is missing from your life right now.
IT'S YOUR CHOICE, IS IT GOING TO BE:
ONE DAY or DAY ONE!
You get to decide.
Getting started is the hardest decision…
…buttttttt you can choose to invest in your new career before leaving your office job for good.
In fact, I recommend it. You want to make sure that going from employee to entrepreneur this is going to be worth it. And that you’ll enjoy being your own boss.
And that’s why the beauty of this can be built on the side… like a side hustle!

Hey there! I'm Karen
6 years ago I started working as a VA with zero experience. Today I’m a coach, educator and course creator!
My inspiration for starting my VA business began when I was made redundant from my corporate job while in the early stages of pregnancy with baby number two. Shocked at first, I knew this was a sign to break free from the standard 9 to 5 job and I started exploring flexible working from home opportunities.
From virtual assistant to online business manager to successful business coach, I invested in my professional development, followed my intuition and I thrived in the online space. And in just a couple of years, I established myself as the go-to expert and coach for other entrepreneurs all over the world interested in learning how to start, grow and scale their own online business.
One of my signature services is helping VAs get started because this is how I did it! I’ve been where you are. I wasn’t sure where or how to start, or even if this was the right path.
Looking back I can honestly say becoming a VA was the best decision in my life (apart from marrying my husband and having my kids of course).
It was the turning point in my life that set me on a trajectory towards success. And if I can do it, so can you.
I have the incredible advantage of having been a VA for successful businesses, teaching VAs and leading my own VA team in my own business. I know what you need to know as a VA. And I know what business owners need in a VA.
With all that said, it makes sense that I’m the perfect fit to help you no matter what stage of business you’re in.
My mission is to help as many women as possible realise that they can have the confidence and career that fits in around their family. They can find their passion and purpose that lights their soul. And the financial stability to last for years to come.
Now I get to help you too. Are you excited to begin?!

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m not sure what services I can offer in my business?
This course will help you look at what skills you currently have, or have had in the past, and convert them into the online world.
Do I have to give up my day job to start my business?
Absolutely not! Most entrepreneurs start working on the side. There is no way I’m going to encourage you to abandon all sources of income while you’re building your new business. This will give you a chance to give this a go and make sure it’s what you want to do.
I work full-time. How will I fit this in?
If you can dedicate an hour a day to complete this course you’ll be winning. What’s great about this course is that it’s totally flexible to fit around your work, family, sleep, life, and anything else your busy life includes.
What prior experience do I need to start the course?
You don’t need any other experience to do the course. An admin background is advantageous, however not essential. You’ll be learning brand new skills & tech for the online business world.
Do you have a refund policy?
Because of the nature of digital products and receiving all of the content immediately after purchasing, all sales are final and non-refundable. No refunds will be issued once a sale is completed.
If you have committed to a payment plan, you are responsible for full payment of the fees regardless of whether you complete the course or not.
If you are not 100% confident about taking this course, please email me at hello@karenvivarelli.com.au and ask me any questions you have.
I’m not on Facebook, can I still do the course?
Absolutely. The course material won’t be delivered in Facebook so you won’t miss out on any of the content. If you sign up to the next 8 week live group coaching experience, a private Facebook Group will be there to provide additional support and community for students which can be really helpful added bonus. However, your business is likely to need a presence on Facebook when you launch and to do that you’ll need to make an account.
How do I access the course content?
You will have access to all of the course content in a user-friendly platform called Kajabi. You’ll have your own personal login and password and can go through the content on your desktop, laptop or phone. Which means you can watch and learn on the go – so easy!
Do I have to be available during certain hours to do the course?
If you have purchased the Course + Private Coaching option you will have the option to attend the LIVE Coaching calls which will be on a set day and time that suits us both. These will be recorded and you can access the replays for future reference.
How many hours will be required to complete the course material?
That depends how much time you have available each day. Building a business from scratch takes time! I recommend planning for it to take at least 3 weeks to work through all of the course content. If you can dedicate a solid hour each day to complete all of the course content, you’ll get through it quickly. That is, watching the videos, working through the workbooks and then completing all of the tasks. As they say, the more time you put in, the more you’ll get out of it and you will see amazing results.
When does the course start?
You can start NOW or anytime it suits you and you’ll get immediate access to all of the content.
When does my access to the course material expire?
It doesn’t expire! You have lifetime access to the course content and future updates. It’s like a library that you can refer back to at any time. How convenient is that!?
Who can I contact with a question about the course?
You can contact me, Karen, or my team about any questions you might have about the course. Type your question into the chat box on this page. I’d be happy to help.
Ooh, THIS IS the best bit!
One of the most invaluable aspects of this course is that I am dedicated to supporting and helping you.
If you choose the course with VIP private coaching, you are invited to join me, Karen, where you’ll get my undivided attention, there is feedback, support and guidance whenever you need it.
There’ll be no wasted time googling how to do any of this stuff. This course is absolutely everything you need to set up a success business from the foundations and beyond.

The truth is that I wish I had a course like this when I was starting out in my business all those years ago.
