That’s the reality you can create for yourself and your family when you open yourself up to diversifying your streams of income.

If you know me, you know that I have been vegan for a while now. But I still love all the foods that usually require dairy. That’s when I started my journey looking for the best recipes and substitutions for the foods we all love. 

I came across this recipe for vegan biscuits and immediately wanted to get in the kitchen and try it out myself! They did not fail me! These were some of the best biscuits I’ve ever had. And they were 100% vegan! But the best part was how easy it was. I used no more than 6 ingredients, many of which I already had in my pantry.

Everything is shifting over to the remote world. There are remote-jobs, offices, and co-working spaces all around the virtual world. Switching over to a remote position may be a little intimidating if you are not used to working from home, but there are many benefits that come along with a remote position.

If you are intimidated by the idea of working alone, without a supervisor, don’t worry. A lot of companies provide extensive training and have developed a great co-working community within their company, someone will always be there to help!

Now let’s move on to the benefits. 

The number one benefit is the obvious, the “remote” aspect of it. The feeling of rolling out of bed and being able to crack open your laptop to begin work all while still having time for breakfast, coffee … maybe a quick workout session is very fulfilling.

Moving on to the second benefit of working from home, commute time! By working from home you are also spending...

Starting something new is always nerve-wracking. We are all afraid to mess up or look like fools in front of other people. Most of the time we get into our heads and think “ what if it doesn’t work “ … well what if it does. This can apply to anything! We have all been afraid of doing something we have not done before. Whether it is driving a car, starting a new gym routine, or moving into a new city. All of these things seem intimidating until we do them. 

Starting something new is all about mindset, shifting your mindset from “ I can’t “ to “ I can “ can create the drive you need to accomplish your goals. Building your own virtual assistant business can be intimidating, but it does not have to be. Many of us think we do not have the skill sets to succeed in this field but that is not true at all. Virtual assisting is all about transferring skills we’ve held in previous roles and packaging them for our clients.
