With Mother’s Day approaching, I started to think about Mothers and Virtual Assistant. I couldn’t help but wonder how many mothers know about Virtual Assistant. Personally, I worked part-time and raised a family. I can’t imagine working full time and raising a family. Hats off to all working moms! I will also applaud all moms! Being a mom was and is one of the hardest things I ever did and I LOVED every minute of it.
Back then, I worked part-time locally to be near my children if something happened. It was also easier to get home quickly for after-school activities and get dinner started. Honestly, my take-home pay was not that great. Or rather, with my skill set, it should have been higher. To me, the sacrifice was worth it because of the time I spent with my children.
Today as a Virtual Assistant
In my current professional life, I am a Virtual Assistant. Now this is a job for anyone who wants to be home with their children. What is a Virtual Assistant? A Virtual Assistant is an independent contractor who provides various administrative, financial and marketing services, just to mention a few skills. She works from home and makes her own hours.
How to get started? There are many programs, job sites, and avenues to getting started. I joined a group of amazing women. Just check out this website: Virtual Expert There are so many valuable ideas and support.
Mother’s skills
Writing a blog is not in my skillset but here I am writing. I am more comfortable with numbers. Numbers tell the story without emotion. My niche is bookkeeping and data analysis. A Virtual Assistant can stick to their main skills as a product. However, to market these skills, you need to have a website, write blogs, and network. There are so many ways to get good-paying clients, but you have to put the time into marketing. This may get you out of your comfort zone but well worth it! The people you meet, the confidence you gain, and the freedom you have make this an amazing adventure.
On this Mother’s Day, think about the possibility of being a Virtual Assistant. The point of this blog to is show my appreciation of all mothers and to show another way to provide income while working from home.
