Default New Virtual Assistant - Midwest
Hello Everyone:

I was a high level assistant for many years and I am now starting my own VA business. I am based in the midwest but am planning to be a true "virtual" assistant and seek clients globally.

Tina

Hi Tina, welcome to the community
Your approach makes perfect sense - why limit yourself to only local clients when you can market to and connect with clients from all over the world in so many ways.

Wishing you success and abundance in reaching your goals!

Tina to the exciting world of doing what you know and starting your own business. I am finding out very quickly, that I far more like doing this for my clients then I ever did with employers.

This is a great site, full of information and support.

Good luck to you

Tina;

VAF is a great forum full of information and terrific people.

Yes, working virtually gives you the freedom to work globally and it's terrific. I started working with my first international client this month - in Austrilia, it's wonderful learning about their country and customs while earning money.

Couldn't ask for a better "job"

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
