<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">My name is Jill Claire, president of MBSN and owner of Secretary to the Public.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started my VA business in 1996 and over the years have developed my niche in association management.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a labor of love and that’s always my advice to new VAs; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">do what you love</span>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">It takes self-discipline and drive to be a successful VA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are considering starting your own VA business because you think it’s sweet to work from home and set your own hours, think again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>VAs who depend on their business for steady income know that is the gravy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hard work and dedication to the client are the meat and potatoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s why it is so important to love what you do – it’s the best motivation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">MBSN is a great place for VAs to exchange ideas and we challenge each other to grow (see me blogging?).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>MBSN is a valuable resource to business owners seeking administrative assistance of all types.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re glad you stopped by and welcome your feedback!</span></p>
