Hello everyone! It’s been a while since my last post. I thought writing a weekly (or even bi-weekly) blog post would be so easy! Unfortunately (or fortunately!), that hasn’t been the case. I’ve been fully immersed in my new venture, Midcoast Virtual Solutions, and I’d like to share what I’ve experienced so far as a solopreneur.
Three months ago, I left the security of my corporate job to establish my own business as a virtual assistant. It was a bold step, one I wasn’t sure I was prepared for, but now I can say with certainty it was one of the best choices I’ve ever made.
The Power of Flexibility
One of the most gratifying aspects of this new chapter has been flexibility. I’ve had the freedom to set my own schedule, work from any location, and select the projects and clients that resonate with my interests and values. This flexibility has not only enhanced my work-life balance (i.e. more walks on the beach with my dog), but also significantly helped me reduce stress.
Embracing Learning and Development
Another rewarding part of this experience has been the chance to learn new technologies. Keeping up with the latest tools and platforms is vital to being a virtual assistant. This ongoing learning process has been both demanding and gratifying, but also exciting when given the opportunity to apply those new skills when helping my clients.
Making an Impact
Perhaps the most satisfying part of my new venture has been the ability to engage more with my community and support organizations doing remarkable, charitable work. It’s an honor to use my skills to contribute to causes that are close to my heart.
Gratitude and Growth
I am incredibly grateful for my supportive network and the influx of referrals I’ve received. This support has been instrumental in the growth of Midcoast Virtual Solutions, and I appreciate your confidence in me.
If anyone reading this has been considering branching out on their own as a virtual assistant, I wholeheartedly recommend The Virtual Savvy and GeekPack as invaluable resources to help jumpstart your own businesses. I’m not being sponsored to say this, but these communities are incredibly supportive. They’ve guided me through the complexities of starting a business and gave me the tools to help me be successful.
These first few months have been a whirlwind of change, growth, and learning. I’ve been occupied with clients, which is a wonderful challenge to have, and I’m deeply appreciative of their trust in Midcoast Virtual Solutions.
Starting a business is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I’m optimistic about the future of Midcoast Virtual Solutions. I’m dedicated to providing top-tier virtual assistance while continuing to learn, grow, and make a positive impact in my community and beyond.
