Virtual assistants are much cheaper than a conventional brick and mortar business and they keep you from boxing yourself in to a small business that cannot grow because you are already working far too hard and can’t push yourself any more
They are good jobs for some people on the other hand your interaction with people is limited and it could be too little social interaction for some people
Thanks for the good information
