I’ve never considered myself as an entrepreneur. Nope. That’s not me. Entrepreneurs are people who have some kind of new idea and work from the ground up to make their idea a reality and it changes the world. I think of companies like Facebook, Netflix, and Uber that have transformed the way we live and […]
I’m not on Facebook. I don’t have a personal account and I don’t have a business account. I used to have Facebook. In fact, I’m one of those people who were the very first to get Facebook back when you had to have a college email address in order to join (am I showing my […]
I have received a complete range of questions when people are interviewing me to see if we would be a good fit together. They range from broad questions about my past experience to very detailed questions on hypothetical scenarios that happen within their business. When searching for a Virtual Assistant (VA), you should absolutely do […]
My two year anniversary came and went with a blink of an eye in May. I’m not sure I even acknowledged it as I was preparing for the birth of my first child. Last year, I wrote a post about the lessons I learned from being in business one year. This year, I’m slightly established […]

The one who pays me on time is good. The one who is late on payment or doesn’t pay at all is bad. Just kidding. Kind of. That’s an obvious answer but thankfully, I’ve have not struggled too much with payment issues. There has been a random issue here or there, but overall, all my […]
In my last post, I wrote about if blogging is necessary for your business as it seems to be a fading part of marketing. I do strongly believe it’s a useful tool for service based businesses and if done right, can help you stand apart from your competitors. That’s all fine and dandy, but the […]
Blogging has evolved a lot over the past 5 years. What started as something for people to do in their personal time to show they were experts in their subject turned into something that every business had. Even if you went to a local pizza stores webpage, they’d have a blogging section somewhere. Blogging went […]
Every person that has started their own business has a story of how they got there. Usually you can find it on their “About” page but you know that is only a snippet of the entire story. Why I became a Virtual Assistant is probably radically different from a parent who wants to earn some […]
