Re: Building a VA practice while still working full-time
I had this question, too.
Whether or not to staright out tell a client I have a 9-5. I lucked out with my latest client.
They are local and wanted me to come into the office to meet initially. Thank god they're open 'til 6, so I just skirted around the fact that I had a 9-5.
It's copyediting work, so it doesn't really matter timewise as long as I have a good enough turnaround on the project...
So, the topic thankfully never came up. But I agree with lisa, I'm not going to tell them unless a time-issue comes up and I'll have to be forthright that until I have enough business income, I'm committed to a 9-5 position.
But my 9-5, I'm hoping I can cut down to 30 hours a week eventually, especially if the work keeps coming in like it has been lately.
