Hi everyone:

My name is Iris and I have just joined this group to gain some guidance and assistance on finding out how I would go about starting my own VA business. This is all new to me and any help would be appreciated.

I have been in the legal profession for over thirty years and find this way of doing things very intriguing. I have an Associates and a Bachelors in Legal Studies. I will be starting in October to obtain my MBA in ADR and Mediation.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Iris NJ Legal Assistant

Welcome Iris!! I'm new also so am not sure how much help I will be. You have come to the right place to find your answers though. http://www.virtualassistantforums.co...nt-what-do-953 Check this out for a Master List for getting started as a VA.

Good Luck!

Thanks Melissa. I will do just that. Although you are new you have been a help. Enjoy your weekend and if you are a mother, Happy Mother's Day.

Hi Iris, welcome to the community

Melissa has definitely pointed you in the right direction to help get you started - and once you have a good sense of your 'next steps' the boards are wide open for your own questions, comments, and brainstorms - so get in there and get active [it's one of the best ways to get the info you need AND get to know some amazing fellow virtual assistants!]

Welcome Iris! This is a great place to start researching your business and how you wish to develop it. I am a newbie too and still getting my business up and running.

Hi Iris,

Welcome to the boards. I'm a former Central-gal myself living in the south. (you can take the girl out of Jersey but you can't take the Jersey out of the girl.. )

You've come to the right place for all things VA-it's a great source of important and useful information but it is also a terrific place to meet new people. We have alot of fun here as well.

Best Wishes,

Janine

Thanks very much for the welcome. That is true about Jersey but I myself have had just about enough of it. My husband and I plan to move to Florida hopefully in a couple of years. My son will be starting college there in the Fall so that will be our last stop so to speak.

I am looking to meet and learn as much as I can from this website. Again, great to meet you.
