It is common knowledge that one of the most significant cons of working for self is the risk of overworking despite being in control. Notwithstanding, at some point in life, everybody serves as their Virtual Assistant, be it to check their emails, get themselves to class on time, or work on their assignments. Being the Virtual Assistant of your own life can be as rewarding as it can be frustrating since you will either do a good job or fail and have nobody to blame for it. Whatever the outcome, and although you get to choose when and from where you work, there is no doubt that it is hard work and rewarding, requiring you to push yourself beyond your comfort zone if you must succeed.
