Profile

Virtual administrative assistant catering to life, business and corporate coaches.

Offering services such as web site maintenance, shopping cart set up, blog creation and more.
During the low point of my unemployment in 2005 (after being laid off), I found an article in the "Toronto Star" about the virtual assistant industry. I was thrilled to discover how many different people from all walks of life had chosen this work-at-home profession. If I had realized it existed before, I would have started my company years ago!
Trite though it may sound, I love helping out my clients who need a web presence but are not web-savvy. I hear the frustration in some of their voices every day and garner huge satisfaction from their excitement when they see a revamped web site or when they see their first product order come through their shopping cart.
I live in rural Ontario, Canada and full-time employment is scarce in this area.

While employment in the "Big City" (Toronto) was available, I did not fancy returning to the two hour (one-way) commuting life style!
A steep learning curve (web work), tailoring my services to the needs of incoming clients, learning to pick my clients in the right way (a good working relationship is the only way this industry works).
My partner and family as well as some of my long time clients who have happily spread the word about my company (Daily Planet Virtual Services) to their colleagues and friends.
Yes. When i first started I was fortunate to mentor briefly with some established virtual assistants as well as some mentoring from marketing and business coaching clients.
To achieve a level of success in my business where I can help other virtual assistants by outsourcing work to them and thus grow my own business in the process.

Not to be rich - just comfortable! :)
Solving an issue with an online shopping cart installation that no one else could figure out.

Also, hearing a client laugh in joy when I managed to get her web site repaired before the deadline.
Essentially, my mission statement is my new tag line.

To help my clients "find the 25th hour" in each day!
Learn when to be devoted to your clients and your work...and when to step back.

Hard work always pays off in the end...but this needs to be balanced against your own state of being. Working long hours and piling up mountains of stress will only end up with you being too sick to work (I know!).

Never be afraid to ask for help or advice. It will always manifest itself when you need it.
Laugh until people think you're crazy...

Live every day like it's your last...

Never walk away mad. You might not get a chance to say that you're sorry...

One should always have something SENSATIONAL to read when on the train."
