Default Hello from Atlanta!
Hello my fellow VA comrades!

My name is Anjela and I absolutely love what I do. After years and years of executive level assistance, I decided to do it as an employer INSTEAD of an employee. The favorite aspect of virtual assisting is that you learn a broad range of different industries. Whereas before as an employee at a company, you only learned about that specific industry. Now, with the different clients I have I'm learning about interior design, website design, motivational speaking, financial advising, etc. I love it!

Hi Anjela
One of my own favorite aspects of my own practice is the diversity of clientele and industries I get exposed to... it keeps things interesting and is such a HUGE 'fringe benefit' to be able to delve more deeply into areas of business you might not otherwise be exposed to.

Welcome to the forums, it's great to have you here and I do look forward to chatting with you further And happy Sunday!!

Welcome Anjela! Sounds like you're nice and busy with lots of different businesses. Good work!
I also love the variety, and - looking at it from another angle - it's so much a better use of my time, to serve several clients instead of waiting on one boss.

I agree completely! My most favorite J.O.B. in the corporate world was working for Kelly Services as a temp. I learned so much and met wonderful lifelong friends. I think that's why I think I enjoy being a VA so much.

Welcome!

Regards,
Deirdre

Welcome Anjela! One of the reasons I wanted to start this business is because you get exposed to a lot of things. I am also in the atlanta area.

Hi Lisa. Where in Delaware are you? We lived in Dover when I was a little girl, that's where my sister was born.
