only to do it all over again tomorrow?
I hear from many of you about how you hate the commute to and from work every day, especially in the worst winter conditions. I did too! You say you would give anything to not have to do that anymore.
Some of you are struggling to pay your bills, working long hours or 2-3 jobs for minimum wage, while debt continues to mount. Or perhaps you got laid off in the economic downturn and you haven’t been able to find another job.
Maybe you feel unfulfilled in your work, even if you are bringing in a good income. You want to enjoy the work you do every day. You want to feel satisfied. You want to feel appreciated. You want to feel like you are making a difference in the world. But you don’t feel fulfilled. You don’t feel satisfied. You don’t feel appreciated.
Up until now you have been building your life around your work, coming home at the end of the day exhausted, with little time for family, friends and hobbies. It’s like you exist just to go to work and pay bills.
I get it.
I actually loved my former job, but I was so tired of commuting every day, spending the largest portion of my day at work, coming home exhausted and falling asleep in the evening. I had very little time to myself or for my favorite hobbies.
After the business closed down and I was left without a job, I tried working at home as a medical transcriptionist, but it took me 2 years to convince a company to hire me after receiving a diploma from a great college, and I found myself typing 10-16 hours per day to meet contracted requirements, earning between $3-10 per hour.
Then I got really sick and had a lot of physical pain, and I couldn’t sit at my computer for more than a couple of hours at a time.
I realized I couldn’t continue to live like that. I wasn’t happy. If I continued on that path, I couldn’t have the lifestyle I wanted and be able to pay the bills. I would never have “extra” money. Not only that, but my health wouldn’t allow me to sit at my computer and type for 10-16 hours a day!
You don’t have to live like that either!
- You don’t have to continue to commute to and from work every day.
- You don’t have to create a life around your job, sacrificing your favorite hobbies and time with family.
- You don’t have to go back to an unfulfilling job day after day, after day.
- You don’t have to work for minimum wage and continue struggling to pay your bills.
I made a commitment to myself to improve the quality of my life and find work from home that would make me happy. That’s exactly what I did. I started my own business as a Virtual Assistant.
Wouldn’t it be nice to…
Work at home and have more time for your family and favorite activities?
Enjoy your work so much that it doesn’t even feel like work?
Choose your own rates and get paid what you’re REALLY worth?!
There is a way you can have your own home business,

get paid what you’re worth,
and have time for your family & favorite activities.
I can show you the way
I’ll warn you right now, it’s not a get rich quick scheme. It takes work and commitment on your part, but if you’re ready to take the steps right now to get control of your own future and your finances, I can help you put the foundation in place to start building your new business on the side, even while you’re still working in your current job.
Virtual Assistants commonly get paid $25-65 per hour in North America, depending on skills and experience. I’m not exaggerating or padding that number. I started out at $25 per hour, with very limited skills. How does that sound?
