2. Identifying your WHY
WHY DO YOU WANT TO START A VA BUSINESS?
The first step in starting a virtual assistant is identifying your WHY. I bet you didn’t think this would be the first
activity :)
This is important because starting anything new can be scary and every day won’t be perfect.
Once you identify your WHY, you will be able to get through days where you feel like giving up or when you’re
feeling discouraged.
So what’s your why, sis? Have you been a stay at home mom and want to start a new career at home?
Do you need more time with your kids? Do you want flexibility and freedom? My WHY is to have freedom and
flexibility. I have options! Think about your why. After you complete this activity, I want you to revisit your why every
single month!
