I  began this Virtual Assistant career the moment I realized being a dad and a career woman at once, working in the call center with poor health (since we are nocturnal human beings), burnout, and emotionally exhausted, needs better paying job. Oh, not just a job but a career. 

Working in the casino for four-years and in the call center for more than six-years, yet I need to start from scratch and build a lucrative career. Yes, a career that I know that I am going to love and will love me back.

 

Things didn't get as easy as I imagine, everything doesn't magically fall into my lap for a virtual assistant is a combination of dedication, determination, and enthusiasm. I didn't enroll myself in any paid Academy at first but patiently enrolled myself to free training on Linkedin, Allison, and Lynda,  free webinars, sometimes grab a $1 subscription for training, and when someone introduced me to VA Academy (  it's a train now, pay later sort of thing) but its all worth it after they introduced me to my first part-time client right after I finished all the course (Amazon store management, basic web design, search engine optimization, customer support, social media content, and campaign management). It just started last 2017, however, it's like a   looooong    journey. I guess that is all it was, I need to lose battles to win the war!

 

Working in the comfort of our homes is not for everybody but since I already have it, I never stopped learning new things and patched those little learnings,  master it and embrace those obstacles and struggles.   My motivation to succeed is strong enough!
