The Sam + Jo VA Show

Show Notes

It’s likely you became a VA ‘cos you were over the 9-5 grind.

You may have wanted to have more freedom and flexibility than a traditional corporate role allowed you.

Or perhaps your priorities changed since starting your family?

But let’s be honest, you also became a VA to earn a decent income from home!

Otherwise, why bother? 🤷‍♀️

So why are there so many virtual assistants out there having to work MORE hours than a 9 – 5 in order to pay the bills?

Why are there so many virtual assistants earning less than minimum wage?!

In this episode you’ll learn the 9 reasons why you aren’t earning a minimum wage and how to turn things around so that you aren't working all the hours with nothing to show in your bank account.
