Starting or buying a business to earn an income (out of necessity)

[@boothmoore]

Around 2003 I started a Virtual Assistant business, I do administrative work for small businesses. I started it because I wanted a work from home position but everything I found was a scam or MLM's where you needed to buy stuff. Started with my home computer, got a small file cabinet from a Free Cycle group. Spent basically nothing when I started. One client I have had for almost 20 years!

To this day my costs to run the business are extremely low.

Way to much competition from cheaper countries for cheap virtual labour.

Thanks for sharing, hope this helps inspire others who are considering that type of change in their lives!

@@richardbors6548 I would say that is not true. Small business want someone fairly local to help with admin work. I can call their clients, same time zone, I understand the area and the business. Also, once in a while we meet in person. It's been a great small business for me!
