Tiya and I talk about a number of topics relating to her transition out of the Corporate life as an Engineer and how she worked through that transition into becoming a successful entrepreneur:

·       Leaving the corporate realm and how that was for her

·       Bypassing the mindset of having a traditional education and career path and how to make a living

·       Deciding what to do for a business and how she was going to do it

·       Being happy with your work choices

·       Using a personality test to help her decide what kind of work to do as well as what kind of clients to work with

·       Started her business in the social media management realm but shifted her focus to be a VA because of her diverse skill sets.

·       She talks about her initial mindset obstacles she had and how to get past the discouragement of the startup process and to keep moving forward.

·       She gives us some insight on how to manage boundaries for office hours from different time zones and even different countries. 

·       Tiya also discusses the contract details about her working environment and how to set the clients expectations.

·       Her ideal client is someone that knows what their business goals are and the specifics of what they’re trying to accomplish.
