For years, I accepted every client who would say yes. Lowball, toxic, short-term: it didn’t matter. I had no degree, no experience, and no clear picture of what an ideal client even looks like.
Then came a final interview I was ready to write off as a red flag.
In this episode, I share the story of the best and ideal clients I’ve worked with as a VA bookkeeper, one foreign and one local, and what it took to get there. If you’re an aspiring or current VA bookkeeper still figuring out who you want to work with, this one’s for you.

Faith without action is Fiction.
Why does a VA bookkeeper with no accounting degree and no experience start his story with a wristwatch and a 5 PM rule?
In this episode, I share the childhood story behind my almost five years as a virtual assistant bookkeeper. It has a strict father, a promise I had to keep, a school list that didn’t have my name on it, and a moment that changed everything. If you’ve ever felt it’s too late, or that you aren’t qualified enough to start, this one’s for you.
Stay until the end for the lesson I want every aspiring VA and freelance bookkeeper to carry in the age of AI.
🎧 Perfect for aspiring VA bookkeepers, freelancers, and anyone starting over in the Philippines and beyond.

They clapped. Everyone got hired. We started that same night.
What none of us knew yet would turn into my worst work experience while I was building my career as a VA bookkeeper.
In this episode, I tell the story I don’t usually tell. It’s about the early years before any of this felt secure, the moment I almost gave up, and the one core value that changed how I see job security today.
If you’re still waiting for your first client, or you’re in a season where nothing seems to work, this one’s for you.
🎧 Listen until the end. There’s an assignment for you.

Faith without action is Fiction.
Two years akong rejected. Walang degree, walang experience, at kahit initial interview, hindi ako tinatawagan.
Pero isang araw, nagbago ang lahat. Bigla akong hinahabol ng mga VA agencies, at may client pang nagsabi sa akin: “I’m planning to buy you out.”
Sa episode na ‘to, kwentuhan lang tayo tungkol sa journey ko sa VA agencies as a bookkeeper: ang mga rejection, ang trabahong akala nila may degree ako, ang client na biglang nawala, at ang twist na hindi ko inaasahan. Pag-uusapan din natin kung ano talaga ang hinahanap ng mga agencies, at bakit competency, hindi perfection, ang totoong laban ngayon.
Pakinggan mo kahit may ginagawa ka. ☕

May kwento kang maririnig na hindi mo aakalain. Sa episode na ito, sinuri natin kung bakit kahit may purchasing power na ang mga VA, marami pa rin sa kanila ang naghahanap ng iba — at bakit may mga pumipili pa ng maling landas kahit kaya na sanang mabuhay ng disente. Real talk na hindi mo dapat palampasin.

Pag usapan natin ano na epekto ng AI sa atin bilang isang baguhan o kasalukuyang VA Bookkeeper.
Tapos ka na sa course, alam mo na ang QuickBooks, alam mo na ang accounting basics — pero pag nag-apply ka, lagi na lang hinihingan ng experience na wala ka pa. Familiar? Yun din ang pinagdaanan ko.
Sa video na ito, ibabahagi ko kung paano ko nakuha ang experience kahit walang degree, walang corporate background, at walang prior client — at kung paano yun naging daan para makuha ko ang aking unang client.
