It’s pretty perfect for a blog post too, so I am going to post a version of the article here too… When you operate a Virtual Assistance business, you are frequently meeting deadlines for your client’s administrative support needs. Here are some tips that…

Really?
I love to educate business owners about Virtual Assistance, but in the span of about 10 days I have had two business owners make bizarre comments about the work of an Assistant: So, do you, like, stuff envelopes for people? You mean you just slap a label on files for people? Clearly, it’s time for…
How much does it cost? How much would you pay…

Top 5 Reasons To Delegate In Your Business
If you have yet to commit to hiring an assistant to help you in your business, here are 5 reasons you need to consider doing so immediately: You don’t know how to do everything. When we try to do things that we are not great at, three things happen: it’s done wrong, it’s done good-but-not-great,…
Niche and Virtual Assistance
I have been immersed in the VA industry for over 6 years now. The conversation about niche is a perpetual one. There are “techy VAs”, “social media VAs”, VAs that only work with coaches and consultants, VAs that only work with millionaire business owners, VAs that only work with start ups, VAs that only work…
