I started my virtual assistant business over 3 years ago and I have always had tremendous support from my family. And I mean everyone! Not just my kids and husband, but my mom, sister, dad and many others. Their support and understanding in what it takes to run and build your own business, all while working from home is truly appreciated. It is also a support system I feel every entrepreneur working from a home office needs.
Today, my husband, Marco, paid me the biggest compliment… he suggested I write a book!
I will say, he has been my #1 supporter of my business from Day 1. So to have him say “You should write a book”, wow. It is really reassuring and confidence boosting to have him say something like that, BUT …
Yes, here comes the ‘but’:
But… the funny thing about this book he thinks I should write, is that the topic would have nothing to do with my business!
hehehe …. Marco thinks I should write a book of tips that cover topics like marriage and parenting while working from home. Prompted by what you ask? Well, this is the note I posted on our washer yesterday, after yet another ‘shrinking event’.
You can read all the fun comments we got on Facebook as well.
Anyhow, it may be something I think about – writing a book on this topic. Every so often you may find a fun family/working from home story here on my blog, if so you will know why! I’ll be compiling them to make a book! (Many people do that you know, creating books from a compilation of their blog posts).
I queried several other Virtual Assistants (VAs) to find out how they were dealing with this issue – and many had the same frustration. Listening to their advice, and some of it came from top VAs and great bloggers, I made a decision about my blog. Once I accepted this decision my blogging took off.
