Focus on Your Business

I am still promoting the IDEA of a Virtual Assistant most because it is still a new profession. Word is getting out and more and more people are catching on.

Newswire Today had this to say about the industry:

More and more of these business owners are wasting their time ON their business and not growing their business. [Italics Mine] For most, they do not require a full-time employee to assist them. A viable outsourcing solution is the answer! They can partner with a Virtual Assistant.

The concept of Virtual Assistance is still new to the Raleigh, NC and surrounding areas, but with continuous efforts to educate the public here and nationwide, it will soon be a household name. It is a rapidly growing industry, leveraging the small business owner and entrepreneur to have a competitive internet presence because they choose to utilize the resources of a Virtual Assistant.

A Virtual Assistant or VA is an independent contractor and service provider, specializing in providing remote support, working with clients on an ongoing, collaborative relationship. A VA works from his/her own office and uses today’s technology to deliver their services and effectively communicate with their clients (defined by the Virtual Assistance Chamber of Commerce). Because they are subcontractors, they pay their own taxes; use their own equipment therefore eliminating the cost of hiring a full-time employee. VA’s work with bright, successful individuals with a vision…authors, sales executives, high level executives, consultants, coaches, entrepreneurs…anyone who wants to achieve a well balanced life with more free time to concentrate on their own success—their own business.
