Can you imagine walking away from an amazing job at 27, when your career was soaring? That’s exactly what I did 10 years ago 😅
I was burnt out, feeling lost, and questioning the impact of my work. It was then I knew I had to take a leap of faith, even if it meant sacrificing a seemingly perfect career path. Pursuing an online business as a Virtual Assistant sounded very appealing and I could envision the amazing transformation I could bring to small businesses.
But the journey wasn’t that straightforward 🤦🏾♀️
The past decade has been a dynamic mix of challenges and triumphs, pushing me outside my comfort zone and testing my resourcefulness, creativity and confidence. It’s been a rollercoaster, but through it all, I’ve discovered an unexpected resilience that surprises me even now.
While a part of me still wonders about the “what ifs” had I stayed on that career path I was on, another part celebrates the incredible journey this gamble into remote working has been. And guess what? The path led me back to where I started. But, of course, this time, it’s different. It’s quite incredible how 10 years of remote work ultimately brought me back into the world of tech which I once strongly felt I needed to run away from.
I have so many stories I would love to share from this journey 💫 I hope you can indulge me for the rest of this year as I occasionally unpack them.

Thank you for sharing Tari… I’d really like to hear more about how you know the pivot you’ve made makes sense and how to believe in yourself and your capabilities. I hope I’m making sense ☺️
Thank you so much for taking time to read through. I have got so many more stories and lessons to share. I recently shared how the initial transition from corporate came about. I will definitely share more around other areas you have mentioned.
