I'm very new to this forum and also new to the VA business, I'm just starting out and I'm finding that there is still a great deal of information, I should know in order to become successfull.
If anyone could offer some advice for an upcoming struggling VA, like myself... I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Re: Hello, to my new VA family :-)
Welcome!
I have been researching the VA industry and am just about ready to launch my VA business. I must say it's very easy as there is so much to know and learn. But VAF is awesome with really great and helpful people and I'm always learning something new about the industry and how to operate the business.
Asking a lot of questions has been my way of learning a lot about the business. As there are a lot of seasoned VA's here that can offer plenty of advise.
Good luck with everything.

Hi Teresa
Welcome! Well you are definitely in the right place! I am also new to the VAF community and there is so much helpful information on this forum. My advice to you would be to browse the forums and to look at other VA's websites for tips and ideas.
Good luck!
I am another VA just starting my business and by far the biggest help for me has been this forum. The members are incredibly supportive and there is a wealth of experience here.
Information overload can be a challenge when starting out so I recommend maintaining a TO-DO list. It is a great way to jot down ideas and suggestions as you come across them and you can refine the list as you move forward. It has helped me to stay on track and is a great visual to see the progress I have been making along the way.
Wishing you the best of success!

Welcome Theresa & congrats on your business decision The best advice I've gotten was to figure out a niche early in planning so that you can focus on growing your business. Having a niche has helped my planning/research phase out tremendously!
You are going to do fine and there is a wealth of resources & information here on this site!
Hi Theresa,
