What is a Virtual Assistant?
A Virtual Assistant is an independent business owner with strong administrative skills who seeks to establish a collaborative partnership with small business owners. VAs work with smart, successful people of all kinds; authors, sales people, consultants, coaches, executives, professionals, entrepreneurs - anyone who wants to be professionally successful and live a more balanced life with more free time to do the things he/she wants to do!
Once the partnership is established, Virtual Assistance works incredibly well, skipping over geographical barriers easily with the use and immediacy of communications media (fax, phone and internet). Working virtually allows people to be in touch as easily as if they were sitting 20 feet from one another.
