WHAT IS VIRTUAL ASSISTANCE?

A Virtual Assistant (“VA”) is a small business owner who works with other SOHO Business Owners as an offsite partner/consultant. VA’s and their clients choose to work with each other in long-term relationships. Together they define where the client needs help the most. Together they become a TEAM with a common goal - - the success of the client. Just as each person and business is different, so is each VA / Client Relationship.

As your VA, I will:

~ Become your partner for success; when you succeed, I succeed.

~ Become familiar with your business and the rest of your life. It won’t be long before I will be able
    to finish your thoughts and sentences!

~ Work proactively and help you focus on making your business and your life whatever it is you want
    them to be.

~ Help you move from working “in” your business to working “on” your business.

~ Help you gain back the time and space you need for bigger, more important things than those
    which currently pull your attention and energy.

Using today’s advanced technology, support is provided offsite (virtually), so there is no extra office space, equipment or furniture needed. In addition, since VA’s are business owners, not employees, there are no payroll taxes, insurance costs, vacation time or sick days to worry about - - clients determine and pay only for the actual number of hours worked.

"In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed" They must be fit for it.
They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it."
