Wow, excellent advice here everyone! So I am not the only one burning the candle at both ends!

I currently work FT days too and have been slowly building my home-based VA business over the last few months, so the contract work I complete in the evenings and weekends. On top of that, I am also taking a self-paced course in medical transcription in the hopes I can transition to a FT WAH role by the end of this year, which will help tremendously as I have a special-needs teenager at home. That's one of my biggest motivating factors - so I can be there for him while keeping a roof over our heads.

Recently, I encountered what could have been a good opportunity working as a VA for a research physician, however when he realized I was still actually working during the day, he was hesitant to utilize my services. I think he had the perception that I was going to be at his "beck and call". That so reminded me of what others on here have said about taking clients that I want to work with, not just because someone calls me!

You've all inspired me today! Keep up the hard work and you will reach your dreams!
