As a busy entrepreneur, I don't have much time to share with other professionals. My doctor recently told me that I need to eliminate some of the stress in my life and to get out and meet people. Well, I work from home and really don't have time to get away.

So here I am. I decided to get connected to everyone out there in the VA world and hopefully offer up some advice.

Hi there, welcome
So, you're already established as a virtual assistant?
Just curious, how long have you been in business?

It can be so challenging to ensure a well-rounded lifestyle when workimg from home, especially while growing a new practice - but your doctor is right to nudge you out a bit
This is a great place to start networking with and getting to know other VAs - looking forward to chatting with you further.

Thank you for responding to my thread. To answer your question...

I have been in business since 1997 and took my business to the virtual realm back in 2000, so more than a decade working as an entrepreneur. From 1997 to 2000, I contracted myself out to local businesses, taking off from the Kelly Girl concept. I also contracted with past employers. By 2000, I was exhausted and needed to take my business to the next level and free up time for myself and family. So I launched my business online and here I am eight years later still plugging away at it.
