From CFA to Business Mogul, It Can Happen to You!

Do you have dreams of owning your own business, or have goals that you have yet to achieve because they interfere with work? At VVIP there are Corporate Flight Attendants who have achieved becoming self made entrepreneurs, and who have given this lots of thought. One specifically, who chased her dream relentlessly, and said being a CFA allowed her to do it!

When it comes to a job that allows you the flexibility to experience personal growth and reach your fullest potential being a CFA tops the list. Many career paths are full time Monday through Friday 12 month positions that make it difficult to go to school, pursue other job skills training, or pursue personal goal objectives, but working as a CFA isn’t one of them. As a matter of fact, it is one of the best positions you could have for flexibility and income.

Many have found fulfilling their dreams was more easily attainable while working as a CFA. Sure it’s hard work and you have to put in your time, but the schedule can be different than your average 9-5. While there are many CFA’s who work a concrete schedule, there are those whose arrangement gives them time to explore other opportunities. With that time they have found endless chances to both create and recreate themselves. These CFA’s are proof that you can work full time and also make progress achieving your personal objectives.

“Working contract you are not on a schedule, so this helps me because while I run my business I can still fly some weekends or take trips whenever I have availability.” Kaelyn DaCosta

CFA’s like Kaely DaCosta are VVIP International success stories. VVIP was established by a CFA, like Kaelyn, who went from CFA to self made entrepreneur. Much like our VVIP CEO Lauren, Kaelyn had a hidden talent and a dream, and like many others she wanted to work and needed the income. Kaelyn realized working as a CFA had a perk that is less boasted about than being able to travel all over the world. She found the schedule, although strenuous, was for her, flexible. CFA’s often complain about the long hours and the 12 days on 10 days off rotations, but the upside for Kaelyn was the 10 days she had off.

“During my 12 days on I totally focused on flying, and all the responsibilities that came with taking care of clients and the aircraft I was assigned to. During my 10 days off, however, I would be working on my own skincare line.” Kaelyn DaCosta

Kaelyn spent many years in the hospitality industry prior to training with VVIP to become a CFA. She was always passionate about health care and maintenance, and working as a CFA made her aware of the importance of self care and the central role it plays in supporting an overall healthy lifestyle. Conscious of how significant self care is Kaelyn went to work at developing her very own skincare line that has had proven success. Kaelyn is a prime example of how to strive for what you want, and what she has accomplished while working as a CFA is affirmation for CFA’s who aspire to be more.

“I will still have opportunities to fly. Once you enter this career and make meaningful relationships, you always will have a door open for you to make some extra income.” Kaelyn DaCosta

There is an advantage to having a career as a CFA and being an entrepreneur. The advantage is that you always have opportunities to work and make money. There are hard times in business when you could use an extra income to stay afloat. As a CFA you have open avenues for earning extra income. Just look at Kaelyn, who is a CFA that has managed to make it, and “have an open door” in aviation.

There are many stories in the industry like Kaelyn’s. There are CFA’s who have gone into business for themselves and those who have pursued higher education career paths they were passionate about, but what they have in common is that being a CFA is what gave them their start and their opportunity to grow. CFA’s are more than people who love to travel and provide hospitality for a living. They’re often people with goals and objectives looking for opportunities who say being a CFA was just their first stop on the way to living their dream.
