About this episode
Like a lot of things in the virtual assistant industry, there is no one-size-fits-all timeline of how long it takes to become a VA.
Some manage it in a matter of hours. For others it’s weeks – months even.
But we’re going to let you in on a not-so-secret secret … having a launch party, designing your website, hiring an office space, and even registering your business name isn’t what makes you a bona fide VA.
It may seem very anticlimactic and not very official, but you become a VA the very first time a client pays you for your services!
What you’ll learn in this episode:·
- The things that will speed up creating an in-demand VA biz
- The things that will hold you back from becoming a VA
- The bare minimum tools and equipment you need to get your VA biz started
