I like your post Judd, you have an interesting way about you. Hey Kylie, it’s great to see you here!
My name is Rachel Reeves and I am a Virtual Assistant also. I opened my virtual doors in October 2007, at the time I was 6 month pregnant with our second child. I had taken a year off work when we first moved from South Australia to Queensland for my husband, Paul’s work. I got bored, started doing some volunteer work and started looking around for paid work. At the time I had no idea that it was called Virtual Assistance.
Along the way I have acquired over 10 years experience in Admin, Finance and a bit of HR with the South Australian Government and then later in the piece as a Contractor. I am an experienced Minute Secretary. I really enjoy proofing and formatting pre-prepared documents. Actually, I wonder whether one day I might become a business coach and maybe go on to write a book.
The flexibility of being a virtual assistant is fantastic, I am able to fit it in really well in with my family life. I have always enjoyed learning new things.
I too am a huge fan of Flying Solo and it is great to see its development into a discussion forum.
