As we wrap up this series on Bad Ass Business Women I encourage you to ask yourself: Am I choosing job security over freedom and fulfilment. Karette would tell you that the security you are holding onto so tightly is only perceived. When the job you have is actually contributing to the deterioration of your mental, emotional and physical health you might want to revisit why you are still there.

Another little note is we need to break down the hierarchy of professions. We are under the impression that professions that are obtained through universities carry more importance than vocations and trades. However, if we expand our dreams we would realise that a vocation/trade can be an empire. 

Karette is the Founder of VirtualKarette VA Services. Karette’s career as an Executive Assistant started in 2013 within the public sector. She then decided to pursue her dream four years later of setting up a VA service. Karette is proud to be the founder of VirtualKarette VA Services and is passionate about helping entrepreneurs build a business empire and create a legacy they are proud of. Entrepreneurship is a journey, not a destination and so, should be enjoyed. It is to this end that Karette and her team seek to support clients – to be a ‘partner in success'. In her spare time, Karette supports young entrepreneurs through mentoring. Karette believes in investing in the next generation of entrepreneurs and does so through her work with a number of social enterprises.

Quotes:
