Focussing on finances is a crucial cornerstone for virtual assistants aiming to build a successful business and lifestyle. In the life of most VA’s, where income can fluctuate and expenses can be unpredictable, having a solid grip on financial planning and management ensures not only the sustainability of your business, but also your financial well-being too. This understanding will empower you to make informed decisions, from setting sustainable rates and managing operational costs, to saving for the future and investing in growth opportunities. In essence, prioritising your finances (and your financial intelligence) lays the foundation for a thriving career and a balanced lifestyle, enabling you to navigate the challenges of freelancing with confidence and a sense of security.
