Hi all! I'm starting my VA business with a launch date of Aug 1st, 2008!
A little about me: I've been doing administrative work for the last 14 years. I was recently laid off after the birth of my second child and have explored many ideas working from home. I actually thought about the idea of doing administrative work for small businesses without knowing that there was actually a whole world out there of VA's! I got really excited when I saw there were people making a living being a VA and decided it was time for me to start my own VA business. What better way than for me to start building on the skills I already have!?
Motivation: My main motivation is my children. I have two small girls and I really don't want them to be at daycare for long hours of the day. I am also motivated by the fact that our income has been cut short (by my job loss) and we really need the extra money.
Question: I'm looking for a mentor, perferrably with small children, who can help give advice on being a WAHM. Can you recommend how I can find one?
Well, I'm off to explore this site and "soak in" as many ideas and advice as possible. I look forward to getting to know all of you!!! Any recommendations of resources on this site is appreciated!
Hi Aimee,
I think you'll find you've got a whole site full of mentors (WAHMs with small children) right here But if you're seeking a professional coach, try running a Google search and see who pops up.
I'm excited for you and your August 1 launch date - you must really be looking forward to the big day. What have you done in preparation thus far?
Looking forward to chatting with you further!

Congrats on setting target date and getting ready for the feeling of being able to share your talent with others who need you. It will be an awesome experience!!
Hi Aimee - Don't worry, you'll do fine as a VA, though balancing your young'uns requires a heap of creativity, I'd think. When my grandbaby is here I can't get a thing done! There are definitely a ton of sources for WAHM support - others here will provide many leads, I'm sure.
Welcome Aimee. Tess is right, there's a whole site of members who are WAHM with small kids. Myself included. We'll help you out. Just ask lots of questions.
