Determining success as a Virtual Assistant is something different for each and every one of us.
The actual meaning of the word success is:
Success as a Virtual Assistant can be any one of those things, a combination or something else entirely.
I think the most important thing to remember is that we travel through life at our own pace. We are all at different points in our journey.

Each and every day, as you grow personally and professionally, you are racking up your own successes. Don't ever forget that.
Success as a Virtual Assistant is whatever you want it to be. If you love what you are doing and are doing it every single day...than as far as I am concerned, you are indeed successful.
The actual meaning of the word success is:
1. the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors.
2. the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like.
3. a successful performance or achievement: The play was an instant success.
