Chapter 1
What is a VA?

Virtual Assistants (VAs) are mostly home-based entrepreneurs who assist with administrative support from their home offices. VAs work with other business owners to help them become more successful.

A VA can help a business owner prioritize their day as well as organize the tasks needing their attention first and foremost. Those less important tasks can be delegated to a VA to complete thereby freeing valuable time to handle important tasks in a timely manner without rushing at the last minute.

VAs can also assist business owners in finishing aspects of their important tasks.

VAs can complete preliminary research, handle travel plans, order supplies, make reservations, update databases, send out promotional materials as well as a variety of other tasks that help businesses spend more time delivering products or services for their clients.

Partnering with a VA provides a business owner with a team player who is ready and willing to accomplish assigned tasks so the business owner isn’t overwhelmed by it all. The business owner gains a valuable asset in streamlining business tasks for greatest efficiency.

A business becomes more efficient, when the business owner can focus more on doing what they do best, while leaving other specializations to a qualified assistant.

Becoming that kind of assistant is a highly rewarding career choice.


Inside Perspective


Having been a VA for years, since 1998 to be exact, I can tell you it isn't easy. There are days when I wonder if it's worth it, but then my kids come home and I'm here for them, I know it is. I started working from home to be here for them, and even though they are teenagers, they still look for me to be here when they come in.

I can't promise you will get rich, but there are things money can't buy. Like the HBWM t-shirt says, being able to work when and where I want is priceless. Being able to care for my sick child is priceless. Being able to be here when school is out is priceless. Seeing them off and being here when they get home is again priceless.

It takes work to get it started, and to keep it rolling. But if you are dedicated, the rewards are just awesome.
