Do you have a video where it explains how to start a VA company without you actually doing the work for companies that hire you ?

Hello, I found your uploaded video helpful. I don't have any experiences working as VA. Is there any paid training for this? I am eager to learn.

Very informative video; helped me get a little more comfortable with the idea of becoming a VA. But is it possible to become a VA even if we’re not from the US and live in another country? How does it exactly work?
