Hey,

I am posting this to try and bring all you guys together and join our group so that we can all share ideas and such to better ourselves out in this female-predominant field. I am not against women in the field, but I think that guys have a hard time working in a field that is traditionally female ran. I have had many bad experiences when a client realized I was a guy and then began to distrust my work abilities.

The link to our group is Men of the Virtual Assistant Industry

So please join the group and we can all help each other stay afloat

Best wishes,

Jacob

A suggestion: Have you thought about opening up a group on Facebook...Guys of the VA Industry and start gathering folks there? Then guide them here for increased group involvement.

I'll be happy to tweet the link to any group both of you obtain.

Janine

I get a lot of flack from friends. Most people think that since I am sitting at home on the computer all day that it is not working like a man should.

I used to get that, too, from friends until they saw that I could be successful.

But regardless of the hurdles we may face as men, there is no better feeling in the world than owning a company and doing what makes me happy!
