Workshop I: The Myth of Work / Life Balance: Is your business running you?

Examine why Virtual Assistants start businesses in the first place. Most common answer is to "gain freedom / flexibility", however, we quickly find we dont have the things we said we wanted - more time with family, availability to kids, financial freedom, etc.  How did we get here?

Workshop II: Freelance or Businessperson: What Makes Yours a REAL business?
