I currently live in California with my husband but may be moving to Europe soon. I have never worked as a virtual assistant before, but recently came upon this website while I was researching the legitimacy of virtualassistantjobs.com. I have been a legal secretary in California, Georgia and South Carolina for a total of 20 years and am hoping I may be able to do this from Europe. I haven't looked well into success stories on this forum, but I shall do that soon. So hello everybody! DDS

Hi DDS, welcome There are a TON more success stories here than we've been able to highlight thus far in our monthly Professional VA Interviews section - a quick scan of the Member News Brags and Inspiration forum will bring forth all sorts of victories, big and small, for our members. (That's one of my favorite aspects of the forums, actually, is the way in which we all celebrate eachother's accomplishments and progress.) I'll look forward to celebrating some of your own with you as well! __________________ Stuck in startup? Stop dreaming. Start DOING! Get the Become a Virtual Assistant eBook for just $29

Wow, you are moving to Europe? That'd be a lot of fun! Whereabout in Europe are you moving to? I'm sure you can anything as you desire in VA business in Europe. You can even begin the business where you currently reside and take the business with you as you move. There are few VA here that are always moving around across the country or the world and managed their business very well! Best of luck! __________________ Brenda A. Jones www.brevos.com

Welcome to this wonderful community of VAs! As Tess has suggested, you'll want to read through the VA interviews and check out the Member Brag sections of the Forum, those are some great inspirational reads to help you see that it's possible to be successful as you are diligent in building your business with the time and effort that it will take. You will also want to check out the getting started thread also to get some points and suggestions on where to start and what is needed to build that foundation for your business. I'm looking forward to seeing you around on the boards. __________________ Perfecting Assistance Services www.perfectingassistance.com Allowing you time to PERFECT your Business!

Europe is just one reason why I'm starting my own virtual assistant business. I travel to Italy every year, and working for someone else really doesn't work for me - two weeks vacation just doesn't make for a relaxing trip! This way I'll be able to spend more time there, and take my work with me! Where in Europe?
