Taxes. Blech.
It’s a topic that most of us happily avoid discussing, but like them or not, they’re a reality. When you’re employed by a business, you know that you have taxes withheld from your paychecks. Depending on your state, federal, state, and/or city taxes are withheld. You file the W-2 form, and the accounting team with your employer takes care of those withholdings for you.
But what about when you’re self-employed?
You’ve decided you want to become a virtual assistant (or a solopreneur or an entrepreneur).
Great!
You’ve created a business bank account and a business PayPal account.
Sweet!
You’ve chosen a few online tools to help you run your business smoothly.
Awesome!
So…where do you get clients to do all of the work that you’ve set yourself up to do?
What is a virtual assistant? *insert hand-on-chin-thinking-hard emoji here*
I used to be like you: I had no idea what a virtual assistant was or what they do. It seems like a vague term at first, admittedly. “Virtual” clearly refers to online, but what about “assistant?” That could mean any number of things, because assistants do a wide range of tasks in an equally wide array of fields.
So…how do we narrow this down?
