Q: Let’s start with the BIG question: Why did you want to start a Virtual Assistant business?
A: Being a virtual assistant and having the ability to work entirely online has always been a dream of mine. The idea of working from laptop, traveling the world, and on my own terms was too good to be true. But I never knew where to start, so I put it on the back burner to come back to another time.
Fast forward to a global pandemic, and I started working from home. I loved the freedom of remote work, and the ability to work on my own schedule. While working from home, I realized that I was not happy in my current job, and that I wanted to leave the corporate world and try something else. I was ready for a change, but working for myself was such a scary thought! So I did some research, and with some encouragement from my friends, I decided to take the leap, start my own business and finally start working towards those goals and dreams that I had kept putting aside.
