One of the ways I am increasing my bottom line is by mentoring. It is one of my passions in life and I strongly believe you should use the gifts you have. I love being able to talk with other VAs and help them as they build their business. It doesn’t take a lot of time, yet it is time well-invested. While I absolutely love being a virtual assistant, I feel that spreading myself into different areas helps me to be “recession-proof.” Many times I feel I learn as much as the person I am mentoring. So it’s a win-win situation. Feel free to check out my services at http://www.abalancedalternative.com/va-mentoring.html.
