My VA boss told me there was an
opening.

 He knew I was interested in earning

 I start the day by checking my email
to see what needs to be done for the

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

Overcoming certain dislikes/fears/etc
because now it's just a part of my
job.

9. Your advise to people who want to
be a VA

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

Know why you're doing it:

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

Those with established careers might
think:”VA work is something my
assistant should being doing".

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

But if you think along the lines of:

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

 "I have time for the family AND/OR I
would like to learn, then train and hire
others."

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

Then you will appreciate your work
more.

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

10. In your own words WHY did you
become a VA?

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

I prayed to God:

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

I wanted to work at home so I can
look after my baby.

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

Otherwise, its back to the corporate
world.

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

I wanted to learn more about internet
marketing (which is what my boss is
doing).

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

I am going overseas with my family.

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

I want to learn new skills which I can
use in case I need to go back into
employment.

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

 I wanted to do something that had
the potential to become a business.

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

So far, this is where God has led me.-
Mia

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

 So like Mia, who attended the VA
Seminar, would you like to see if this
is for you?

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

 The unique thing about this seminar
is there’s a two month ASSIGNMENT

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

That you need to do at home.

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

This will show you how a VA works,
first hand.

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

Then after you submit the assignment
to me, I’ll endorse you to people I
know who’s hiring VAs!

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

But what if you’re not in the
Philippines at all?

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

Or not available this Sept 18?

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

 Just attend the
Online Version of the Seminar

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

 The online version allows you to
watch the presentation in your own
time.

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

 Then after one week, we’ll do an
online Q and A where you ask what
you want to ask...

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

Along with other “online” classmates.

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

The closest Online VA Question and
Answer is scheduled on Sept 25,
Saturday 9am-10am

(c) Jomar Hilario 2010

That’s 9 pm EDT Sept 24
New York Time
