Catherine is a best selling author, VA and VA trainer.
Virtual Assistance is one of the fastest growing professions today for people leaving the 9-5. VAs are administrators who work by the hour for small businesses. Increasingly they have specialisms - social media management, bookkeeping, design, copywriting - as well organising travel, appointments and taking calls for people like, um, me.
It was a life threatening illness that first got Catherine thinking about how she could earn money outside of the 9-5. Today she earns 4 times what she was earning in her corporate role and has a lifestyle that works much better with her health and personal priorities.
In this interview we talk about how she started her business and how she’s grown it through her focus on constant marketing.
We talk about the VA profession - what kinds of people make the best VAs and what kinds of people do not.
And we talk about the journey she’s been on - how working for herself has changed her life and her health.
