Re: Where should I start? Sep 8, 2008 9:50 PM
Lora, what are you good at? What are your skills and abilities? You really need to think about what you can already do and then what might be achieved by doing those things.
I enjoy typing and doing things on the computer so setting up a homebased secretarial business was ideal for me, and later when the Virtual Assistant industry developed I was in a perfect position to get involved.
I encourage you first to do a self-analysis on what you enjoy doing and what you are good at doing and then research to see what kinds of businesses can be run using those skills and abilities. Joining chat forums where there are people mixing and mingling doing the very things you have an interest in will help you determine if there's an opportunity for you there. Yahoogroups.com has thousands of chat forums.
Start with what you know and over time you'll be able to develop your skills further and add to that.
Hope this helps,
Kathie
