I feel like something’s wrong with this scenario, but I can’t put it into words, much less figure out how to talk with her about it.

And you just don’t have them when you start working with a new client—especially if your interview process doesn’t require lengthy phone conversations.

In conversations with VAs over the years, some have told me they can’t think of how to express things better (the “why reinvent the wheel” argument). Once during a new client "interview" the potential client asked me "Why do all the VAs I talked to sound alike. What’s up with that?

But I can’t figure out how to get from here (with income) to having a business (that will have no income when I start), without literally risking the roof over my head.
