I'm an aspiring VA from South Florida. I've actually been doing it part time for about 6 years with 1 client but I recently resigned for many reasons.

I actually had 1 client for the last 6 years where I did everything (pay both personal bills and business bills, invoicing her clients and almost everything else she wanted). The money was great but I just let her go because she was taking complete advantage and the relationship was becoming toxic. I didn't know about the idea of a virtual assistant and setting boundaries and all the new things I'm learning about here. I'm definitely going to go about things differently now. I look forward to learning alot here!!
