Success as a Virtual Assistant is
Posted 03-15-2009 at 10:18 AM by leedrozak
Success is measured by many in all sorts of ways. For some it is money or wealth and for others it is numbers, whether it is clients, followers or employees. To me success boils down to two things: time and happiness.
Most you understand the happiness part but time you ask. Well I look at it this way, what is the point of happiness if you have no time to enjoy it. Really, if you are overwhelmed time wise than are you really achieving your happiness. Don’t get me wrong, time does not mean are you busy, time means are you spending it wisely to enjoy all the things that are important to you.
So the question was posed “Success as a Virtual Assistant is…” and here is my answer. As a virtual assistant I have the choice of the client that I take on as well as the amount of hours. I am blessed at this point because I truly like and enjoy working with all of my clients. Maybe it is because they are a lot like me and maybe it was just the luck of the draw but none the less, I have superior clients.
I am also blessed to enjoy all the work I do for my clients. Of course as a virtual assistant this is the choice that I get to make. There is very little that I do not enjoy doing, but it is nice to know that I get to say no if need be.
On top of great clients and doing what I enjoy I get to work when I want to. If I want to work in the morning and take an afternoon off, then that is what I do. Up all night, no problem, I get out the laptop and work away so that I can sleep in when I finally hit the hay. And I get to work from my home where I can either sit in the comforts of my home office or on my deck with the wildlife that surrounds my property.
Being a virtual assistant allows me to enjoy many successes and I am certainly enjoying my two favorites, happiness and the time to enjoy it.

What a great 'recipe for success' - if it really does all boil down to 'happiness' and 'the time to enjoy it' then we [as VAs] are doing all right!
