I'm Judith, and I am just starting to put together a VA business. I want to start small, taking only jobs that I can do in the evenings and on weekends, while I keep my full-time job... but hope to keep the business going and move into full time in a few years when my husband and I "retire" from our jobs. I am in north Alabama (the Huntsville/Madison area)... and am looking forward to learning lots from this forum.

It does take a lot of dedication, but if you're up for the challenge the results are incredibly rewarding. Looking forward to hearing more from you on the boards! __________________ Create a welcome packet for new clients with this guide and free templates! (Available in PDF and Kindle versions)
