Virtual Assistant - Tip #1

Back Injury Leads to Revelation
Earlier in my career, I worked as a legal assistant. After suffering a back injury, work was brought to my home by courier. I handled business from my bed, no kidding! The clients and opposing counsel's offices never knew.

Virtually More Productive
I found that by working virtually, I became more productive. I believe it was due to the chaos sometimes found in an office environment. It isn't that I don't like working with people, I really do. It's just that my intention each day was, and still is, to focus on my work and feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of each day.

Virtual Assistant Tip #1
Learn as much as you can about the industry you are entering. Prior to working virtually, I spent my evenings, and my weekends researching online to gain more knowledge about the VA industry and how to work efficiently while being a virtual worker.
