Live Your Best Life as a Virtual Assistant
When I started my Virtual Assistant business in 2010, my goal was to replace my six-figure corporate salary. I chose my rate, $50 an hour, and calculated by billing eight hours a day for five days a week, I would hit the mark.
I had a coach who encouraged me and confirmed that...
On Tuesday, I met one of my new neighbors, Sarah, on my daily walk. A few people who know us both mentioned they thought we might become friends, so I was excited to cross paths with her.
Sarah and I immediately hit it off as she told me about her recent travels to Asia and her personal training...

I would start with the...
Last Thursday morning began with a nasty text message. It came from our new cell phone service provider’s store manager, Jim, in response to a message I sent him. (I won’t name names, but the new carrier's name rhymes with Horizon.)
When my husband, Greg, and I relocated to...
I began work as a Virtual Assistant in 2010, so not much about my daily routine changed in 2020 when people started to work from home. For others, though, the change was dramatic. There was no more commuting, packing a lunch, spending time in traffic, or dressing for the office.

My husband Greg and I are in the process of moving from Connecticut to Virginia. We began migrating our things on January 29th when we closed on the house. We will be completely moved in, chickens and all, by April 1st.
The distance between our old home and our new home is 415 miles, so there...
