6 months down...

Posted 08-20-2009 at 12:38 AM by MrsAn  
I remember finding this site and reading through it on my Christmas vacation last year.

I remember being fascinated that it was possible to make a career from Virtual Assistance.

I remember thinking that if I could manage telecommuting for the last 6 years prior I could do this!

I remember the fear, the anticipation, the uncertainty and the excitement on making the decision to go forward.

I remember booking my first client 1 month after, and then another a few weeks after that, two project jobs a few weeks after that.

I remember branching out, marketing, believing in myself, and booking another client.

I remember my passion for numbers resurfacing.

I remember cursing myself through the mistake, the undue trust of a one time job, the disappointment when they skipped on me.

I remember grounding my feet with determination the next day to do things right from that moment forward. Make every client sign a contract; including my MIL (I do her finances while she spends 6 months out of the country)

I remember waking up early and staying up late to make fun time for my kids over the summer.

I remember looking into my daughters eyes as she told me tonight at dinner how happy she was that I worked from home.

Hi there! I really enjoyed your post - I often forget to think about those things when I get busy so I might just make a similar list to keep in my happy file. Very inspiring.
