Default Back Again!
Hi everyone,

Wow, it's been a while since I've visited VAF. Hope everyone is doing well. Things have been pretty hectic, but I'm happy to report that I've been working from home part time for 3 lawyers since I last visited. I'm still working a full-time job as well, so work is keeping me fairly busy. What's great though is I haven't had to market my services, I have gotten these 3 clients without even promoting myself (thanks to word of mouth!) so it's pretty exciting.

I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone at VAF! Have a great day everyone!

Denyse Giguere

Hi Denyse.

Thanks for sharing your update. I admire anyone who can work full time and work with 3 lawyers! Congratulations on not having to market at this time.

If you wouldn't mind, please share a little about the time frame of your VA business. How many hours are you putting in and what time of day, etc.

Wishing you continued success.

Mary

That's great Denyse! Do you plan on quitting your job soon? I'd also like to know what type of tasks are you doing for them?

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome back

The work i'm doing is mostly real estate conveyancing (which is what I do in my current full time job). They either fax or e-mail me purchase contracts and their searches and mortgage instructions (if applicable) and I do all the paperwork and send it back to them. What's nice is a few of them pay me by the hour and another lawyer pays me on a per file basis. It's amazing because this all started because of my husband. He's a printer technician and about 6-7 months ago he was at a new law office fixing their printer and he mentioned that I was starting up my virtual assistant business, and one of the lawyers told him that they might be interested in hiring one. So I met with the lawyer a few weeks later, and as their office was just starting up, they didn't have any work for me right away, but eventually she passed my name along to another lawyer, who I currently do part time work, then he passed my name to the other lawyer I'm working for. Feels nice especially cause I've been working the last year or so to get my business up and running. I hope to be able to quit my full time job by mid 2011. Keeping my fingers crossed for that!!
