		<description>I was speaking with a very wise woman recently and she said as long as both parties to such a relationship feel they are getting value - well then, everyone is getting value! I&#039;m also a VA and have made choices that are benefiting me over time, even if not financially immediately, and it&#039;s worth it.

		<description>Its true! Initially you have to give more than you can get back. It only works this way. I got my name optimized for  free write ups and editing initially and it sure helped me in the long run.

On the other hand, I have seen people apt in their respective stuff but they just dnt land a job cuz they dnt a solid portfolio or experience to show.

		<description>Tishia Lee, Aurelia, Alyssa, and Loretta,

Thanks so much for the welcome! I&#039;m so excited to add this to my weekly schedule.

Stephanie,

I have struggled so much with those same exact questions! Just keep in mind that people are seeking you out because you have some kind of expertise they need.</description>

		<description>Yes, I sometimes hesitate when opportunity presents itself. A sample of the myriad of questions that come into my brain are, am I qualified, do I have enough time, and am I available. I&#039;m slowly learning to take a breath and give myself a moment to consider all factors before jumping in.

		<description>Great article Christina. Those &#039;aha&#039; moments don&#039;t seem to come on a very frequent basis (at least for me) so when I do have one I pay close attention to it. LOL 

It&#039;s great to see you writing over here :-) Congrats.
