VA training with Jomar Hilario

I found out about Jomar Hilario by browsing through other blogger websites. I eventually learned through his website that he had a passion for training Filipinos to be a VA. Why? SImply because he believes the Filipinos are worth it and valuable enough to be  a darn good VA.

I thought about this for awhile, since with my busy work schedule I didn't want to enter into anything halfheartedly. I also lost a yaya and I also help my son Javie with homework and reviews, so I didn't know if I would have the time.

But when I heard there would be a VA seminar this September 15th, I grabbed a seat right away and enrolled. I couldn't wait to experience what I've only been reading about. This is a job that would me flexibility to attend to my son's needs at school and at the same time give me fulfillment in what I do. Lastly, I couldn't wait to live out my dreams.

So right after my shift (I went to work at 11:30 pm) I went to Rosewood Pointe for the whole day seminar. I was really happy I chose to go instead of just download the material. I wanted to get the right motivation and I felt it that day when I saw for myself that Jomar was actually a real person, and I get to meet Jun and Sheb and heard the testimonials from VA Naomi and Ann. And that place was so beautiful, I thought I'd like to live there someday (without the airplanes zooming overhead).

But anyhow, to make the long story short, I was able to learn all the basic skills a VA should and shouldn't have. He told us about the proper equipment to invest in. He provided awesome tools that we could use for the job, and would even personally use for ourselves. He gave us the right way to market ourselves as not just any VA, but the VA they would never want to let go.

I can't wait to start on my assignments so I'll make this short, hehe. Being a successful VA is not what you know. It's what you're willing to work on. I like what Jomar said about Success is all about the OBVIOUS: It's trying and trying and trying again after you fail. I want to see myself as a WAHM (Work at Home Mom) in 3 months time. Attending the seminar was just the right push I needed.

I love what Jim Rohn said: Learn how to work harder on yourself, than to work harder on your job. And that  is the only way you can be valuable. I'll be elaborating on that on my next post. For now, my eyes are so murdered from lack of sleep.
