hi Ms. Alma. new subscriber here. I really love the videos you upload they are very helpful and informative. I have questions, do virtual assistants employed throughagencies have direct communication with clients, or does the agency handle all communications? if the latter is the case, how do agencies prevent virtual assistants from soliciting or poaching the agency's clients? hope you could help me with these questions when you are available. thank you.

I’ve been trying to grow my virtual assistant business for 7 years now with not much success. I’ve always wanted to be a entrepreneur and I feel in my soul that I’m supposed to be one , especially since I come from a family of entrepreneurs. I’m also a mother and caregiver to a nonverbal autistic young adult which is a full time job itself. Being an entrepreneur is the best way for me to make money while being able to take care of my daughter and not having to answer to a boss. I now work as an independent contractor for a VA company and I love it, but I would still love to have my own business so I can charge premium prices doing what I love. I find it hard networking, marketing, and everything else that it takes to grow a business on top of working for this VA company and caring for my daughter. It’s a lot to juggle. I also don’t have the money to invest in hiring a coach or mentor. I’ve tried applying for small business grants with no luck. What do you suggest I do Alma? I’m tired 😪

Off topic kind of, but you said: I’m also a mother and caregiver to a nonverbal autistic young adult which is a full time job itself." Have you thought about starting a blog and a KZbin channel about how your a caregiver for an non-verbal autistic young adult and mother hood. Very unique niche. I'm sure there are people out there who would like to know some tips and tricks. You can create a course, have a blog with affiliate programs and get monetized on KZbin. That's just 3 sources of passive income. It's just a thought and free advice.

Hi Alma! I've launched a VA agency here in the Philippines, boasting a team of over 100 professional Virtual Assistants. If you're in need of VAs, I'm keen on exploring a potential partnership with you.

Hi, i would like to know when you say 100 VAs, are these Virtual Assistants your in-house team or pool of talents? I run an accounting firm and our accountants are all already hired and in-house so im trying to understand if VA works the same
