The benefits of being a virtual assistant
You can enjoy many benefits of becoming a virtual assistant.

Our careers blossomed from that point on. All things considered, we even found a few more benefits that I didn’t mention in the article.

- Pick the hours YOU want to work. Work as much or as little as you want.
- Since you are your own boss, you can choose the type of work you enjoy doing.
- How much do you want to be paid? I love this one. You can set your own rates.
- Lastly, remember I said you can travel? You can also attend summits and bootcamps.
