Just over 5 years ago I launched my own VA business (after months of DIYing and almost quitting). I had no clue where to start, find clients or what to offer as a service. But I kept going… I’ll never forget that first post I shared announcing I was now a Virtual Assistant looking for clients.

She’s not the first and is a less surprising pioneer of a decades old model than some other people who should really know better. That includes an architectural practice who came up with the idea earlier this year and whose name escapes me.

Professional success is a culmination of many key factors. Your education matters—maybe not as much as you think, but a degree in your field can really jump-start your progress. Experience certainly matters, but that can only come to you after years of dedication. Talent matters, too, but aside from skills (which develop from experience) much of your talent is an innate tendency to perform better in certain areas.
