Hello from sunny Barbados!
Hello everyone. My name is Eloise, and I am an aspiring VA on the island of Barbados. I'm the mother of two boys, who is missing out on the best things in life because of my 9-5 job. Therefore, I've decided to take matters into my own hands and start a business. Since I'm an Administrative Assistant, and I do freelance work from time to time; I thought it would be a good idea to become a VA from home. So here I am, and I'm certainly happy that I found this forum.

My intention is to learn as much as I can, and add what value I can from this side of the world. Thank you for granting me access to your forum.

Welcome Eloise

This is a great forum for VA's just starting out and for the more seasoned VA's. Everyone is friendly and you will find so much information here.

Good luck in your new business!

Welcome Eloise,

I have two boys too, but all grown up. Here at VAF you'll find wonderful people willing to help and share with you. It's like having a helpful co-worker by your side just when you need them. Enjoy the forums and good luck in your new business.

Cheers!!

Hi Eloise and Welcome!

You've come to the right place to learn all you need to about starting your business. Everyone here is just wonderful & we share great information freely ~ this has been the most impressive thing to me because there are other places on the net that cost $$ for the same interactions. Those of us in the snow-belt areas of the world will just have to live vicariously knowing you are in the sun-belt!

Enjoy!
