About Tricia Harrison
Helping Founders Build Capacity & VAs Build Confidence
Whether you're a visionary founder drowning in day-to-day operations or a burnt-out VA stuck at $300/month.
I'm here to help you trade survival mode for strategy.
From $5/hour to Founder | The Origin Story
When I started online, I didn’t have a trust fund, a mentor, or a polished home office setup. I had a laptop, and a Wi-Fi signal that barely held.
My first VA job paid me $5/hour.
I was exhausted, broke, and doing “everything for everyone.” But I had a moment, an enough-is-enough moment. That’s when I stopped playing the well-rounded game and got strategic.
I niched into digital marketing, developed backend workflows, created SOPs for my clients, and turned basic admin into premium packages.
My rates went from $5 → $21 → $60/hour. Eventually, I pivoted to retainers, hired myself, and never looked back.
What I Do Today
For Founders:
I place VAs who match your energy and execution needs—not just someone who “can do the job.” I also offer OBM services that bring structure to your backend, streamline your systems, and get your team running without you micromanaging every move.

Why People Come to Me
Because they’re tired of hiring VAs that ghost them, drain their energy, or need constant supervision.
Because they need backend help but aren’t ready for a full-time ops lead.
Because they’re VAs ready to raise their rates and finally build a sustainable business.
Because they’re remote work newbies who want a real roadmap, not recycled Social Media advice.
One More Thing…
I didn’t grow up in this world. I built my place in it.
So if you’re feeling behind, overwhelmed, or unsure if this remote thing is for you, let me remind you: you’re not late. You’re just getting started.
Let’s make it count.
