Experience
Self-Employed VA
I left my corporate role in March, to start my own VA business and leverage my experience to help small business owners.
Working for myself allows me to do work that I enjoy and that I am good at, particularly operational tasks, improving efficiency and work processes, and helping business owners get organised. I am also able to incorporate my interest and experience in planning and delivering events and travel itineraries.
On top of this, running my own business has given me first-hand experience, and a much better understanding of all the time-consuming administrative tasks that go into running a business which I didn't really need to think about when I worked as an employee. And this may be the most valuable insight I've gained so far.
