Chapter 1
A lot of people ask me how to start working from home or how to be a virtual assistant. I usually don’t give them an answer.
Instead, I ask them this question: “Why do you ask?” The most common reason they give me is that they wanted to have an additional source of income.
Let me warn you, though. If your reason is the same as them, you won’t probably be able to reach the end of this book. Just looking for extra money won’t cut it, because if you found another way to earn that additional amount, you’ll forget about this book instantly.
Know that this was NOT written just for you to read. You’ll need to think, ask, and take action. This book will take you out of your comfort zone.
If your “WHY” is not that deep, you’ll give up easily. If your why won’t push you to move, you will not reach the end. If your why won’t make you excited to get up every morning, then I’m afraid this book is of no use to you.
Yes, it’s not the “how” but the “why”. The “how” can be learned from others but only YOU will be able to come up with the reason why you want to do it.
Now, let me ask you again. Aside from having an extra source of income, why are you interested in working from home?
If you’re having a hard time answering, let me share mine with you. They’re really simple, but it’s not just the statement but the story behind it.
1. I want time freedom.

I know it was God’s plan when I bumped into Connie’s book. I’ve gone through answering my seven deepest whys and true enough, I started crying in the end when I figured it out.
