What Would You Do Differently?

If you could start over and were just now thinking about starting a virtual assistant business, what would you do differently? If you haven't yet started your virtual assistant business, what questions do you have about starting it?

Looking back, there are several things I'd do differently. Since I just fell into the business and wasn't actively looking to start a business, I didn't have in place much of the foundation a new business needs. Fortunately, I had my business coach (also… Continue

Multi VAs Needed for Monthly Subcontractor's Group Q&A Call

In 2010 my two virtual subcontractor groups a monthly Q&A call will begin.

Each month I'd like to have a multi VA guest on that hires subcontractors. This will be a benefit to both parties. The subcontractor will be able to ask questions such as how to improve their skills, find coaching & mentoring programs, how to win a proposal and any others they stumble across. For the contractor they can get to know some of the available subcontractors, promote their programs, establish… Continue

Using Subcontractors

Business has finally started to pick up. Things are not steady, but instead you find at times that you have too many orders to fill or too many projects to complete. You can’t afford a steady employee, or even a part time employee (or you don’t want the hassle of IRS), but you don’t want to continue working from 6 am-10pm at those busy times. What do you do?

As a small business owner, I have found the best solution is to have some reliable well trained subcontractors on your “team.”… Continue

Local VA Meetup in California

Several virtual assistants in my local area got together last Saturday for a meetup. It was great to meet with other VAs and be able to discuss our businesses, challenges, and exchange ideas.

My husband, Joel, who has been coaching VAs, was able to talk to the group a bit. He just finished a call with another VA coach in Canada.

Our book should be released soon,… Continue

Four-Hour Week Works Great for 'Mompreneurs'

Four-Hour Week Works Great for 'Mompreneurs'

Entrepreneur.com

05/13/08 - 12:51 PM EDT

Written by Lisa Druxman of Entrepreneur.com

The No. 1 question I get asked is, how do I balance work and motherhood? But aren't we really asking how can we find the time to do it all? Most mom entrepreneurs love working and could work endlessly if it weren't for the desire to care for their children, spouse, home -- the list goes on forever.

To find more time for all of us,… Continue

Swiper No Swiping: Part 1. Keep out Identity Thieves

Swiper No Swiping: Part 1. Keep out Identity Thieves

If you ever invested in your business, you may relate to this. Is your vision distracted with all the huff and fluff going on around you or in your industry? I have decided that I will no longer allow others to fill in my job description and title. It is different when you are a business owner because you are not given a sheet of paper that tells you your title, your job description and what you should do, say and how you should… Continue

What happended to the Know, Like and Trust Factor?

If you are tired of receiving sales messages that just promote, promote and sell and sell without any idea who these people are and sometimes question why you are on their list, well here is an idea I came up with, after I got Tagged from a friend of mine, and I must say I appreciated the Tag and here is why. It gave me the opportunity to read more about him and it allowed me to tell him more about me. I think this is a great start to establishing a relationship especially if you are apart of… Continue

Success or Victory, which one are you shooting for?

Success or Victory, which one are you shooting for?

During my 5am prayer, the thought of having this so called Business Success really hit home. Success is temporary satisfaction in my book and a Victory is a battle won. My battle is not to only reach my goals which is so cliché and loosely thrown these days in the business world but I realized that I am going for a Business Victory. In search for victory, I am looking to make a change...Many people I have come across like how it… Continue

Business Owners: Which news headline should you pay attention to?

I used to be a news junkie but after years of hearing nothing but

bad news I became pretty jaded to it all.

However, it is pretty tough to ignore headlines about the economy

and the upcoming election. The problem is that business owners who

are doing fine are afraid to invest in their businesses and move

forward as they should.

I poked my nose into MSN.com a few days ago and it prompted me

to share my thoughts with you.

There were two… Continue
