When it comes to talking about running a VA business, there is going to be a strong focus on all of those things that you need to do. At the same point in time, while it’s important to look at what running a VA business is all about, it’s important to know what it isn’t as well.

Running a VA business is not as simple as hopping in the car in the morning and driving to the office - for that matter, ask those VAs who work from home and most of them are going to tell you that running a VA business isn’t as simple as rolling out of bed, pouring a cup of coffee and getting started.

Similarly, running a VA business isn’t about working for anyone other than yourself. Simply put, while you have clients for whom you do work, you won’t be working for them. For some virtual assistants, this is one of the most difficult transitions in the process of becoming a VA.

Ultimately, both of those points about what running a VA business isn’t lead to what it is: running a VA business is a chance to take control and to be responsible for your own career - and that’s the things that you should be striving for.
