Hi! I’m Vickie Turley and I am the founder and owner of a virtual assistance business called A Balanced Alternative, dedicated to supporting and encouraging extraordinary consultants; and Mentoring Matters, a mentoring business designed specifically for VAs who are ready to collaborate with a peer to help them build their steps to success their way!

I live in Western Kentucky with my husband, Rocky, and my “baby”, Toot (half Yorkie, half Maltese). Rocky and I have four grown boys and four granddaughters. And I am in love with my life!

I was the previous co-owner of The VA Blueprint, a coaching and mentoring service, and that’s where I discovered my passion for mentoring. Through that phase of my life, I began to understand that as entrepreneurs, we tend to do everything all on our own. And I found the importance of having a team around you – those who would serve as guides and teachers and cheerleaders and peer support in our quest for our true calling. I was already living my passion as a Virtual Assistant, and now I felt the same passion for mentoring. My fellow colleagues even told me, “Vickie, you have a real gift for mentoring.” Before then, it had never entered my mind, but the more people mentioned it to me, the more I realized this was a gift I had been given. And I am a strong believer of using your gifts.

Mentoring Matters is for aspiring, new, or seasoned virtual assistants who are looking for a different type of support. This is for those who are truly passionate about being a VA, but who are struggling in some way and being held back from finding their path to success. They are looking for help from someone who has struggled as they are struggling, who knows what they are going through, and who has “been there, done that.”

That is why my mentoring program works – because I am your peer and know exactly what you’re going through. My goal is to work the way you do – so each program is unique and special to each individual. I want to provide real-world help – for marketing, attracting clients, pricing yourself authentically, closing the sale, and any other area where you may need support. With Mentoring Matters, you will have the peer support you need to mentor you on creating your unique path to business success.

I am so excited to talk with you!
