What you need to know about the VA industry so you can figure out the best way to make money from home using your brain. If you've been wanting to get started, need the building blocks, and want to know how to get your foot in the door, join us! I get this question all the time: “If I’m already freelancing, how can I transition to working full-time as a service provider so I can stop working for the man in my 9 to 5 job?” In this bonus episode, I wanted to talk about this because so many people are in a 9 to 5 and they add freelancing as a side hustle (like I did 13 years ago). And then they start to see the writing on the wall. This could be a legit business where you’re self-employed and offering digital services– anything from email marketing, social media, affiliate and launch management to podcast editing, all of that as a real business. It's a big jump from doing this work in the cracks of time, evenings, and weekends to an independent contractor business that’s replacing your full-time income. But how do you actually make the switch? I’m answering this burning question and sharing more about 4 things you need to do so you can go full-on into freelancing How to make sure you’re financially prepared Networking and building client relationships Practical ways to avoid burnout while still juggling a full-time job How you can learn to become a freelance service provider If you’re balancing a traditional job with a freelance side gig and want more flexibility, you CAN make this transition a reality.
