How Working More Hours Can Mean Earning LESS Money

November 26, 2010 – 10:00 am

Continuing the conversation in this week’s Dear Gritty VA post (“I’ve Lost All Boundaries–Is this Relationship Salvageable?”), I wanted to illustrate how a Virtual Assistant can be working 50 hours a week and still not be making “any” money.
