Hey Deirdre!

I had no idea how successful you are! This was a very inspiring interview to read. I am very happy for your success and envious of the location of your new home. I would love to live on a farm! Congrats Deirdre.

Hi Deirdre,

I'm so happy to hear of your business growth. And, I'm pleased that you got so much out of the Online International Virtual Assistants Convention. I look forward to hearing about your continued growth and your participation during the 2009 convention. Keep in touch.

Great to hear your story Deirdre. It sounds very similar to mine and I hope I progress to FT like you do. In other words you feel subctracting for other VAs really can keep someone busy? That's my main goal is to subcontract.

This is a great interview. I'm new to the forum and am so happy to have found it. Hearing real stories of women and men who are actually making this business work for them is a huge motivator for a newbie like me.

I had to grin at the raising chickens and turkeys piece. There was a time, about 7 years ago that I found myself raising a few of everything! From goats, to chickens to pot belly pigs. I loved the chickens and had a favorite turkey named Petrie. There is nothing like fresh eggs!

Thank you to the author and to you for sharing your story.

Deirde - I find this to be true for myself - it's my biggest stumbling block! "I find it very difficult to promote myself. I found it was very hard for me to separate my business from myself. I do not enjoy marketing..."
