Comments on: Change for the Better http://elitevas.wordpress.com/2007/05/30/change-for-the-better/ Good News and Views for VAs and SBOs Mon, 02 Jul 2007 17:54:49 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Robin http://elitevas.wordpress.com/2007/05/30/change-for-the-better/#comment-1749 Robin Thu, 31 May 2007 15:21:15 +0000 http://elitevas.wordpress.com/2007/05/30/change-for-the-better/#comment-1749 You are sooooooo right! When I first signed up to be a VA, I thought I'd get stuck plugging data into some spreadsheet, but I was willing to do whatever I needed to keep my family going. But then I took a deep breath and held out for something better suited to me and I am so glad I did! Within a week I landed a major client, and I now have new ones calling every week. I believe your passion comes out in your work, and people respond to that. I would like to offer a new resource - it is a site I am developing with Michael Russer (author of “The Obosolete Employee, How Businesses Succeed Without Employees - And Love It” www.theobsoleteemployee.com). It is a totally free, no sign ups, nothing, 100% volunteer community site called VirtualOutsourcing.org. It is a place where anyone - business owners, VAs or people who want to be VAs, can go to learn and find tools, resources, groups, etc. People can also submit questions for experienced VAs to answer, or make suggestions of their own on valuable resources. We plan to have it launched within a week. Will you please be sure to check it out, and give some feedback? It will only help guide and strengthen our industry! You are sooooooo right!
