After working in a job I loved for 10 years, the rug was pulled from under me when they closed. Afterwards, I worked several contract assignments but couldn’t find anything as satisfying. When my husband and I chatted about opening a virtual assistant business, I thought over the possibilities and decided to run with it.
The hard part was actually starting. I had sought the advice of others, and I kept floundering. This was something I had never done before and I was scared about taking a chance. I mean, what if I failed?
One morning, as I headed out for some errands, I thought ‘maybe I should write out my game plan’. At that moment I felt a shove on my shoulder. It was God, telling me ‘get on with it’. I immediately turned around, went home, and drew up my plan. I started my business the next day. It’s been going strong since then.
