There’s a reason why the work environment is often called the rat race, and the reason is pretty simple. In the way that “corporate America” works, we all are trained to get up in the morning, shower, have a cup of coffee, get dressed, sit in traffic and find the path of least resistance for getting through another day at the office. At the end of the day, it’s that same little maze done in reverse – only instead of coffee, there are meals to be made. Instead of getting dressed up for work, we dress down for relaxing.

In other words, a lot of the time, people feel a lot like they are just going through the motions, fighting their way through their days and just doing everything out of habit.

The rat race works for some people (or they manage to convince themselves that it does), but what if it doesn’t work for you?

One option is to get the training you need to go into business for yourself. By running a VA business, you’ll find that you don’t have to give up the parts of corporate life that you love – helping others, making travel arrangements or creating marketing materials – but you will be able to break away from the regular routine.
