My VA Journey

A Glimpse to remember

As an accounting I dreamed to work in an office, fully air-conditioned room, wearing executive uniform and enjoying the company of my colleagues.  Those are my thoughts during college days; my dream job is still fresh in my mind. But as the years go by, my dream somehow fulfilled but due to many job circumstances come along my way and the booming of recent technology, my dreamed job revised.

Life is like driving a car; sometimes we drive on road that in midway we need to change the route so that we can arrive at our destination in way that we can use our time wisely and makes ourselves and the family have a happy trip. Technology can change the way we drive our life, it depends on us on how to use it, if we avail the benefit of this nicely, then we can avoid work stress, and appreciate the value of time.

Because of the benefit of technology, the dream I had to work from office has now revised to work from home. Yes it is true, at first I really can’t believe this, but this is happening, working right at the comfort of my home? Still a question I ask, but when I heard from Bro. Bo Sanchez about the offer of Jomar Hilario to attend a VA seminar or download it on how to work from home, well, I am not a fast mover so I ignore it first, but 10 months later I take the opportunity to try it, because I know there is no harm in trying, and there I understand everything and totally shifted my dream.

Virtual Assistant (VA) for me is like a working in a cloud, no drawers to keep records and files are saved in a software application.  Unlike working in an office with a pressure of Bundy clock to arrive at the office on time, here I have a choice to pressure myself or manage time the way I wanted. Being a VA is not just an easy go lucky job, it needs time, focus, hard work and dedication, the first thing to develop is the right attitude, because lack of this the desire you want will hardly be realized.  Now that I am in this journey, with the guidance of our divine providence, I am pretty sure that this is the new road that God has constructed me to get best direction.  So thanks God for this, I have to fasten my seat belt, relax and enjoy the trip.
