Great Guide for VAs and Small Companies

I just had to write and say that I love this book! I already own a home business, and I actually figured this guide might help me find resources for locating a VA, since it's known as "the" resource for virtual assistants. And wow, not only did I get a ton of great resources, but I learned so much that I could apply to my own business. (Loved the coaching tips!) Virtual Assistant, The Series is simply chock full of everything you would ever want to know about starting a virtual assistant business - learning the skills, contracts and forms needed, the day by day expectations of a VA, plenty of niche services to explore, resources on starting a VA site, even collection tips. It also has a great list of resources that can help those of us looking for a VA find someone great. If you want to start a VA business (or any service business for that matter) or want to add those services to your current business, you are definitely going to want this guide!

One of the Best.

I wish I would have had this book when starting my own VA business. I have been a Virtual Assistant for 8 years and when I started there was not much in the way of VA Training. Diana Ennen & Kelly Poelker have put together a reference tool that I will refer to time and time again. Just the financial planning section is worth the price of the entire book! Virtual Assistance U and Red Deer College utilize the book for training future Virtual Assistants! That speaks volumes to me in regards to how valuable this book really is for anyone entering the Virtual Assistant industry. I would like to thank Diana Ennen and Kelly Poelker for making my daily work life a little bit easier! Nancy A. Brown http://www.virtualgalfriday.com

Lots of Good Information

I'm just getting started as a virtual assistant and the information in this handbook has helped me set up my company and plan for the future. The information in the chapters is very well-organized and provides comments from actual virtual assistants in addition to the authors, so the reader gets several points of view.

Virtual Assistant, The Series - Good Job!

This book gave me the motivation I needed to get my business started. Just about everything you need to know in an easy to read format that I couldn't put down. The fact that I found several typos gave me even more confidence - knowing that the writers aren't perfect, but are still very successful and proving that I have excellent proofing skills! I would recommend to anyone thinking about a virtual business.
