Smile new soon-to-be Virtual Assistant!
Hello, all! My wife and I are excitedly looking forward to becoming VAs later on this year! We haven't got a company name yet...or a perfect list of our service offerings...but I'm hoping to learn a bit more about that here!

Thanks in advance for this awesome resource! I've been browsing around for a week or two, and it really has been quite helpful already.

Hi Luke, welcome to the community Congratulations to you and your wife; taking the first steps toward your own virtual assistance business is exciting!

My husband is my business partner and has been since the start of our business (almost as long as we've been together!) and it's been a wonderful experience. Challenging at times, but truly rewarding.

Wishing you both success and abundance!

Congratulations to you and your wife Luke and welcome to the community. There is much to do but take it one day at a time and one step at a time and before long you will be looking back and saying, wow, look how far we have come!

Linda

Luke, as a new VA myself, I recommend bookmarking this site. It's an incredible resource, and you'll soon see (if you haven't already) how great a resource the people and the site truly are! I have found nothing comparable on the internet, and I'd been searching for a site like this since October of last year.

...oh, and welcome! hehe

Welcome Luke, you will find lots here. I do not work with my spouse, nor would I want to (hehe) but I believe there were some threads somewhere about this as we have several husband and wife teams.

Best of luck to both of you and keep up abreast of how you are motoring along.

A warm welcome to you and your wife! How exciting and brave (tee hee) to be embarking on a new business together.

You will find everything you need here in these forums. They have been my "go-to" resource for all the many questions I have had since deciding to start my VA business. There is so much to learn but you really do feel like you have a team of allies ready to help out with their advice and experience. It is a great community.

Wishing you both much success!

Welcome! You will find these forums so helpful in starting up.

I'm envious of people who are in business with their spouses! I would love to do that someday.
