I've been interested in the best way to go about doing this. Seems like that we are drawn, in part, to doing a VA business for the exact reason that we can still do it while have other work...the flexibility that it provides.
I was reading this article on the nytimes website tonight which provides some interesting thoughts on willpower and that not only can we increase our willpower but that we have a "willpower" bank. Anyway, my point was that building your VA business while continue to work outside the home for awhile will definitely take some willpower, and as many have said, will be worth it in the end.
