Dear Danielle: Is It Possible to Start My Administrative Support Business While Still Working?

Dear Danielle:

I am glad to connect with you. I am currently employed. Is it possible to start this business without resigning from my job and still deliver? Thank you for your time. —Dorothy N.

Hi Dorothy. This is a good question. In fact, it’s probably in the top 5 or 10 that people ask me when they are trying to figure out how to go about starting up their administrative support business.

And I have some sound advice for you.

Since this is a topic I’ve covered before, I’m going to direct you to three main posts that have served people well when they’ve wondered the same thing:

Why Do We Talk About the “Negatives?”

Why Do We Talk About the "Negatives?"
Why do we talk about “negatives” in this business so often?

Because by doing so we help each other avoid the pitfalls and making the same mistakes.

Because so many people experience the same issues that keep them from earning well and loving their businesses and clients.

Because it helps folks set up smarter, stronger foundations in their business.

Because the smarter, stronger way is not always obvious to new colleagues who tend to fall into the trap of lowest hanging vines.

Because it helps each other succeed and do better.

It’s never “negative” to talk about the problems. Those problems, pitfalls, and complaints are actually valuable opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed.

Have you been helped by candid conversations about some of the common trials and tribulations we share in this business? How so?
