Why I love being a VA because I'm the best boss I could ever work for. I have flexibility, freedom to set a work schedule fitting to my lifestyle. I can take water beaks, TV breaks, and lunch breaks whenever I want. When I need to work late hours, I don't have to be concerned about walking to my car in a dark parking lot. And best of all - I love the great small business tax deductions!

I love working from home because I get to see my children off to school
I'm home when my McDreamy husband gets home
It's freedom!!!

Not to mention all the cool people I have met online.

I love these answers! Like most I enjoy that I can be available to my children. I also love that I control my income and set my own limits. I love the wonderful people I get to work with both as clients and fellow VAs. I loving the friendships I've formed in the VA community.

Since I am just starting to get clients, I love the idea being the gatekeeper to what I can do. The sky is the limit and possibilities are endless!!

Keep up the great work!!

What do you love the most about working for yourself?

I'm responsible for my own success. I can be all I can be; I just need to say I can.

[burneyvoa]

To work for myself means I have the ability to set goals and standards that agree with my values of respect and dignity to all upper and lower level management and personnel. I have the freedom to set my own hours, accept, refuse, or pass on a project that is beyond my capabilities or desire to do. I can spend more time with my ill spouse and yet have a decent income. I get to work with others who are in the industry and benefit from their knowledge and expertise.

Laurie, I love those words "the illusion of freedom". So appropriate!

I love that I have the freedom and flexibility to direct the course of my working life. I love that I no longer have bosses that feel the need to micro manage everything imaginable. I have the freedom to control when I want to work and when I don't and how long I want to work. I have the drive to do something that I'm passionate about and aren't just being told what to do on a day in and day out basis.

Lastly, even though being an entrepreneur is a lot more work than being an employee, I do it because it's rewarding.

I love the fact that I can stay home with my daughter and take her to all her therapy appointments without question! Plus I like being the boss of myself

I have flexibility and don't have to answer to a boss..
