A former office mate (and still a friend) asked me a question via Facebook Messenger. Don’t you miss your office mates? See my response in my screenshot (together with the comments that I got from other virtual assistant friends).

Recently, I talked to another virtual professional and a good friend. As we were about to end our conversation, we talked about being busy with many things. My friend has highly satisfied clients, expertise on chosen niche, and is able to reach monthly income goal. Seriously, my friend can ask for the moon. However, sometimes, […]

Believe me when I say that I am always grateful to my mentor, Jomar Hilario, every time he is giving me an opportunity to share my virtual professional journey. Recently, I shared to the participants of his latest Ask Me Anything Marathon Webinar how I prepared our house, bedroom and family for my virtual career. […]

When you’re a virtual professional, you don’t have a chance to enjoy a summer outing with your officemates because, well, you work alone. WRONG. You can actually enjoy a summer outing (or any kind of outing, depending on where and when you want to go). HOW? You call your friends who are also virtual professionals!

I can not remember the exact time or year, but a few years back, I declared (written or verbal, I’m really not sure) that when I become a virtual assistant, one of the things that I see doing is going to the mall on a non-peak day (Tuesday or a Thursday). And in the mall, […]
