The Beauty of Flexibility – Being a Virtual ...
I’m sitting here at the Ottawa International Airport getting ready to head out to San Francisco, CA to visit a close friend and colleague. I’m going to spend four days in San Fran / Palo Alto area and then on Wednesday I am going to head to San Antonio, Texas to visit Sheri McConnell of the National Association of Women Writers, Association of Web Entrepreneurs and Create Your Association.
The beauty of my career choice, being a virtual assistant, is that I have the flexibility to do this. I can fly to locations across Canada, the US, overseas and further and still be attached to my entire company and my clients via my laptop and the internet. I think this is what appealed to me most about this type of business. The ability to be anywhere I choose and still get my work done and be connected to my clients.
Being in business over the past three years for myself has been one of the biggest learning lessons I have ever had. I’ve discovered that this experience teaches you more about who you are and what type of people are in this world than any other life experience could teach. Over the past three years, I have had both good and bad experiences with people (more good of course!) and it never ceases to amaze me… some people just don’t know how to have, and cherish, an identity of their own.
Are you a virtual assistant servicing clients with their business needs?
