The Professional Standard for Virtual Assistance

Good Morning, Afternoon, Evening!

No matter what time of day, thank you for being here today. 

You may have found yourself here because you need a Virtual Assistant [VA] or perhaps, you are curious about what one does. 

A VA can be a lifesaver, helping you focus on what truly brings you joy and letting the VA [male,  female or otherwise] tend to all those tasks that you find yourself either hating or procrastinating on. Do yourself a favour and don't let this invaluable resource slip through your fingers because you think you cannot afford someone. The fact is that by having someone to help you, you stand to make even more money and gain precious time. It has been proven many times over. 

How, you may ask? It comes back to that joy. If you wake up each day and all you have to think about is enjoying each moment you have to do the things that makes your heart sing, you would be surprised at how much you accomplish. You will also discover that you are a better person. You will radiate and attract people who resonates with what you have to offer, and with your beliefs. 

As of 2024, I am no longer available as I have retired from my VA business. Why? Because deep down in my heart, I know I am meant for something else, for something greater, for something that I was not able to even fathom. It was far beyond my thoughts, but my heart always knew.

However, do not fret. I am not leaving you stranded. This is not the end. I have a few recommendations for you to research, for you to find that VA who echoes your beliefs, your interests, someone who will be able to think outside the box, get what needs to be done and even offer suggestions on what they can do for you. Every VA comes with their own unique experiences - keep that in mind.

Tip: Don't work with someone else's VA just because they are a fit for your friend/colleague/business partner. They may not be a fit for you. Take the time to chat with your potential VA and find out what they like, their hobbies, and such. As a matter of fact, I suggest that your first conversation to be anything EXCEPT business-related topics. Get to know the person you are going to be working with - after all, they are supposed to be your partner in success, not just some mindless person completing tasks for you.

AssistU [https://www.workwithava.com/] - I have to say, you won't be disappointed if you are able to find someone here who resonates with you. They are all well trained and know what they're doing. I know because this is where I gained my knowledge when I first decided to take my office administrative skills to a new virtual level. [Based in the USA.]

Many Blessings and Cheers to Your Success!
