A twinge in Erin’s back didn’t go away. The pain and operations, all could have left her housebound, watching daytime TV. Instead she propelled herself into an online business world she hadn’t known existed. From an awful trauma, freelancing has given Erin the flexibility to do something she really loves.

Meet VA & Social Media Assistant Erin Buck. Not that she knew what that was 5 years ago.
But then, she was happy working in a school. She didn't need to know.

But then a twinge in Erin's back turned her world upside down.

Nerve damage could left her housebound, watching daytime TV. 
Instead she propelled herself into an online business world she hadn’t known existed.

Erin’s optimism, hard work and ability to figure things out, won out.

She has ‘ideas’. Ideas that found her a constant stream of work. That took her into online communities, that then supported her back out into the offline world. Ideas of a future spending winter in the sun. When the real ray of sunshine is her being her true self all along. 

It’s an inspiring listen. The flexibility of freelancing. Business growth and personal growth going hand in hand. 
Buck up your ideas.

Underheard Bianca Being a freelance writer, people often think I live one of those shiny social media lives.
