Hey there, lovely friend! 🌸 First of all, thank you for visiting my little corner of the internet. Since this is my very first blog post, I thought, Why not kick things off with my own story? This is the tale of my journey to being a virtual assistant—a path full of prayers, lessons, and more coffee than I care to admit.
If you’re a mom, a dreamer, or someone tired of battling traffic every day, I’m pretty sure parts of my story will make you nod your head (or shout “YES, SAME!” at your screen).
From Corporate Life to Calling
I’m a working mom with two amazing boys and have been with the same company for over 12 years. My job? Challenging, rewarding, and filled with wonderful colleagues who feel like family. But despite loving my team, I felt a pull—a longing to be more present for my kids.
When we had only our eldest, our finances were manageable. But after our second blessing arrived, life got… let’s just say, “financially interesting.” 🤭 Staying home full-time wasn’t an option, but the desire never left my heart.
I tried applying for jobs closer to home, but nothing clicked. Then, one day while scrolling through social media, I discovered the world of Virtual Assistants.
I thought, Wait… I can work from home, earn well, and spend more time with my family? That was the start of my journey to being a virtual assistant.
Why Being a Virtual Assistant is a Game-Changer
Here’s what I’ve discovered so far in my journey to being a virtual assistant—and why it’s worth considering if you want more flexibility in life:
1. More Family Time ❤️
No more missing school plays or rushing home after work. I can be there for my kids when they need me most.
2. Better Earnings Potential 💰
Virtual Assistants often earn in dollars and set their own rates. That means you decide your worth.
3. Learning & Growing Your Skills 📚
From social media to web design, I’ve learned so many skills I never picked up in my corporate job.
4. Do What You Love ✨
I studied Computer Science but never worked in it—until now. This career lets me pursue what lights me up.
5. No More Traffic Jams 🚗💨
Goodbye daily commute, hello coffee on the porch.
6. Perfect for Introverts 🤫
I can focus without constant interruptions. My “office banter” is just the sound of my coffee brewing.
7. Be Your Own Boss 👩💼
Clients are partners, not bosses. We work together to create success.
8. Think Like a Business Owner 💡
You’re not just completing tasks—you’re building a brand and a client base.
Where I Am Now
Right now, I’m still transitioning from corporate life to full-time VA work. It’s a season of faith, preparation, and learning—but I know God’s timing is perfect. Soon, I’ll fully step into this new chapter and live out the freedom I’ve been praying for.
If you’re thinking about starting your own journey to being a virtual assistant, I hope my story inspires you. You can build a business that blends family, purpose, and financial stability.
