If you’re an aspiring virtual assistant who feels like you need to have some sort of certification pronouncing you to be an officially trained VA you need to listen to this episode before you start handing over money left right and centre!
We’re here to remind you that it’s VERY likely the skills and experience you already have under your belt are MORE than enough to go out and find yourself clients.
We’re also going to share with you why potential clients really don’t give two hoots about your lack of certification.
