The start of being a Virtual Assistant

Whoa! I’m back! I tell you, the holiday season really got me swamped.
Anyway, today I’m happy and excited to talk about the Virtual Assistant Seminar which took place in Taguig City, Philippines last November 20, 2012.
The day before the event I had this mixed feeling of enthusiasm and eagerness. It's as if the seminar made me felt thirsty for victory, and gave me confidence that through this “VA Seminar” I could gain triumph and freedom from being a traditional or conventional employee - the tedious and boring everyday routine, travelling to and from the house to the office.
Well It seems to me like the longing is finally over. I even had to excuse myself from work the night before the event to prepare myself -- since my job entails me to work always on a night shift.
The next day - the day of the seminar, I left the house early that morning as I have to locate and familiarize myself with the venue, and also I want to make sure I won’t be late.
The moment has come, the seminar started, and deep within I’m so happy to see Jomar live in the flesh and speaking in front of us, wow!
Prior to the event, Jomar and his VA’s (staff) have emailed me (and most probably other participants’) a soft copy of the scope of the entire VA seminar. And during the seminar he clearly explained in detail the content and all that is needed to know.
The “How’s”, “Why’s” and “When” were thoroughly defined in the seminar.
One thing I really liked about Jomar was his style of teaching, and true to what he always says; he would explain things in “layman’s term” -- very simple and non-technical, that’s why it’s easy to understand and absorb.
Maybe at first he would get me thinking at what he’s driving at, or at some point he would leave us with a puzzling question, or scenario for us to think of a logical answer. But eventually he would give us the answer and make us understand his point in a very logic way.
As expected, the seminar was a success. It made me as feel as though I found the key.
But what’s the key? …Just follow what was instructed. Educate yourself with the guidelines given and have the right attitude. – And that’s what I’m going to do. I may be slow, but my strong desires say I’m going to get there!
And to you Jomar – you are one amazing person!
