I agree up to this point. Many potential clients will assume that because you are working, in essence, two jobs, that you won't be able to do as good a job for them as if you were only working one. Obviously, this isn't true if you are a well-skilled, conscientious VA. But often perception overrides reality. I recently read a bumper sticker that said "Don't believe what you think" and I suspect many people fall into this trap...
