I was chatting online the other day and we were discussing how long we’d stayed in jobs before starting up our own businesses.
I’d always been someone who moved on after a couple of years because I either got bored and needed new challenges or the path for advancement was blocked by someone who wouldn’t move on. And yet, here I am, in my own business well after 14 years!
When I related this to my husband he quipped that I was pretty much unemployable these days too! He also added it helped if you got along with the ‘boss’! At least she and I always agree. 😉
After all, who would want to employ a woman who is used to getting her own way and having the freedom to make choices and come and go as she pleased?
Ah, I love being a Virtual Assistant and running my own business!
