I can’t quite believe that later this month I will be celebrating my 1st work anniversary as a Virtual Assistant!
As with any professional transition, it has had its highs and lows. I wasn’t sure if the self-employed lifestyle would suit me – the lack of job security and no regular income worried me. Transitioning from an employee mentality to thinking like a business owner has been particularly challenging. However, with my determination, discipline, and hard work I have made it through to the other side.
I have learnt so much about myself as well running a small business. In the beginning I wanted to offer everything to everyone - so the last year has been all about discovering the sort of work I enjoy doing and learning lots of new skills along the way.
For me, the best part of being a VA is providing solutions to my client’s challenges and adding value to their businesses… and I hope that I can continue to do this for many more years to come!
But first, time to celebrate with a big slab of birthday cake!
