I am a new mom who is also a business owner. I love being able to schedule time for my family but on some days I wish I could call it quits at 5! Marketing takes a lot of my time not leaving much for actual work!

I especially love that your insights are from someone who has only been in business for a little over a year (I enjoy seasoned VA interviews as well, but it's nice to get the full spectrum ). __________________ Stephanie New VA in the research phase :daisy:

It's nice to see the face behind the logo! We are in similar situations with family - grown children not at home, new grandchildren - so I know what you mean about scheduling time. It is nice to have that flexibility to work when you want. But I also agree with you about having other things to do in your business besides "billable time". Best of luck to you with continued success in your business. __________________ Pam www.adminetcetera.com
