In today's article, I'd like to share a very informative article which was written by another professional writer. Read this article throughly and enjoy the knowledge. Homepreneur Success Tip: Invest Time, Manage MoneyBy Deepa Govind ""Time and tide waits for no man", so the saying goes. However, if you wait long enough, the tide will come to you. People working from home (Homepreneurs) are popularly referred to as Virtual Assistants (VA). There is a wide variety of tasks assigned to VAs. Most popular ones being administrative assistance, customer support executive, transcriptionist, translator, online tutor, ghost writer and many many more. The biggest lure for wannabe virtual assistants/freelancers is the possibility of being able to work form home, and, generating an income out of it. As a practicing virtual assistant (freelance developer/homepreneur) for the past 4 yrs, I frequently encounter prospective VAs with request to guide them in establishing a VA career I am more than happy to share resources and respond to queries. Religiously, I respond back with links on articles, forum etc. 2 out of 10 people practice due diligence and come back to me after a couple of weeks to "discuss" about the things they have learnt. I am really happy for them knowing they have grasped the crux of being a VA. However, 8 out of 10 on the other hand, spare no time in responding with, "Please teach me how to be a VA. I am a quick learner". They view my repeated responses to access resource content, as, "washing my hands off" fearing competition. There is no such thing as free lunch. Everything comes with a price tag. Becoming a VA is no different either. Monetary investment to launch your VA career is optional, not mandatory. However, this calls for another type of investment which no VA can deny. AN INVESTMENT CALLED "-TIME-" "Take care of the minutes, the hours will take care by themselves" is true to every word in a (aspiring) VA's working hours. Things could swing both ways here. Spare a few minutes to learn something new, you could be hired(for $) to implement what you have learnt. Similarly, spend a few min on aimless chit-chat /FB'ing, it could be an hour lost to regain focus towards what you were initially working on. Most VA aspirants tend to lose the initial drive much sooner than 8 weeks of their first attempt. 10 weeks later, they just give up on the idea. 12 weeks later, they conclude that "work from home is all scam", & those who say otherwise are lying. It has been my observation that such people approach VA opportunities in the conventional way (read as in the corporate way). If only they had taken the time to read (&comprehend) through the resource content (shared by a friend/Googling), the following could have been put to good use.
Every VA aspirant should invest a huge chunk of their time to know the terrain, and how this part of the industry functions. By doing so, I do not guarantee that nothing will go wrong. Everyone will make a faux pas, and we are no exception. Even experienced VAs burn their fingers. At least, you will be prepared when such a situation arises (God forbid!). ... so that, when you have projects at hand, you will have the privilege of managing it. INVEST IN TIME BEFORE APPLYING FOR PROJECTS. MANAGE MONEY (TIME=MONEY) WHEN THE PROJECT IS AWARDED TO YOU. Deepa Govind is a Homeprenuer (Entrepreneur working from home).
