It’s Been Four Years!

Wow! I can’t believe that this month marks my fourth year working from home as a Virtual Assistant! It’s been an interesting journey – one of many ups and downs but one that I’ll never take for granted or regret doing.

I have had moments where I wanted to throw in the towel and go back to a J-O-B (thankfully such an insane thought as that only lasted a few fleeting seconds! lol). But when I really stop and think about (when I’m having one of those ‘throw in the towel’ days) the reason I’m having a moment like this it’s because I’ve let myself get to that point…meaning I’ve added to many projects to my plate or haven’t taken any down time and ‘unplugged’.

I’ve come a long way in these four years and I’m excited for where this next year (and many more years to come!) is going to go with my business. I’ve been working on some things in the background and soon I’ll be starting a regular ‘fun’ thing here on the blog every Monday.

I’m here to tell you that if you think working from home isn’t a reality or a possibility it IS! I’m a single mom supporting my son and I on my income I earn as a Virtual Assistant. It ISN’T something that happened overnight! In fact back in the beginning days I was doing all sorts of odds and ends type jobs (babysitting at my church, cleaning houses, running errands for people, etc) so I could make ends meet but be home building my VA business. It definitely takes a lot of determination, self-discipline, hard work and motivation but it can be done.
