₱100K+ a Month as a VA? From 10 Years in an Office to 6-Digit Monthly Income | Myla’s Story
What if leaving your 10-year career could completely change your income?
Myla spent more than a decade working in the corporate world, eventually becoming a Quality Lead and earning around ₱30K per month. But after years of feeling stuck, she decided to take a chance on becoming a Virtual Assistant.
Today, she’s earning six digits per month as an e-commerce VA. 💻💰
In this episode of From Kayod to Keyboard, Myla shares the real story behind her career transformation—from leaving a stable job without a perfect backup plan to starting as a VA, learning skills outside her comfort zone, and becoming more valuable to her international client.
And the biggest lesson? You don't always need to know everything before you start. Sometimes, you just need to be willing to learn, take opportunities, and prove your value.
In this episode, you'll learn:
✅ How Myla went from a 10-year corporate career to becoming a Virtual Assistant
✅ How she went from earning around ₱30K/month to six digits as a VA
✅ How she landed her first e-commerce VA opportunity despite having no VA experience
