Hi. Just introducing myself on this forum. Seems a great site with lots of useful information and resources. I'm really looking forward to getting into the forums. I finally took the plunge in January, leaving a secure 9-5 post to go-it-alone! So far I'm loving every minute.

Hi there and welcome,

Just to let you know there is a Group here for UK VA's so please feel welcome to join us.

Regards
Sandra

Thanks Sandra. I'll have a look in a minute.

Regards

Rachel

Hi Rachel,

Welcome to the forum, this really is a great place. I had to write you a quick note so I would have you marked as an Excel whizz! Don't love numbers (as you said in another post) but love how you can manipulate them with Excel. Pivot Tables are my best friend! lol

Enjoy!

A belated hello to you and congratulations on making the decision to ditch the 9-5 job! Everyone's very helpful here and there's so much useful information. Good luck!

How courageous! I wish you much success! Some is luck but most is diligence!

Make sure you market yourself. Most companies make the mistake of thinking that their marketing budget is optional. That's a huge mistake.

Good luck!

Wow, that's a big step! Congrats to you! Hope you find everything you need here!
