Hi, Kathi. Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
I’m 55 and have worked since I was 15. This business is my first attempt at working for myself, and I love it! I just signed on a second retainer client, which has doubled my workload and my income!
How did you decide to start a virtual assistant business?
I quit my admin job in 2016 to start a nutritional therapy practice, but couldn’t make myself take the plunge. I knew I needed to do something to bring in an income again and began Googling jobs that I could do from home.
When virtual assistant work popped up, I went down the rabbit hole and found Gina’s course! Once I started working with my first client, I knew it was what I needed to be doing!
