Are You a Virtual Assistant Ready to Stop Stressing About the Economy, Have Some Fun AND Get Smarter About Getting Ahead?

From the desk of Tawnya Sutherland
Founder of VAnetworking.com

I’ve been trying to come up with something fun to do this summer for the VA industry. But these are trying times and so I knew it had to be a pretty special experience, especially if VAs from all over the globe were going to sign up. So here were my pre-requisites:

  • It had to be affordable (yep, we’re still in recession)
  • It had to be accessible (everyone is stay-cationing).
  • It had to be educational (knowledge is power)
  • It had to be FUN (duh!)

Then, I had one of those epiphanies you have while you’re drinking cheap champagne and watching Desperate Housewives re-runs at 11:00 at night.

What about a series of informative and engaging webinars given by the best and the brightest in virtual assistance? All for one low price PLUS a truckload of free downloads and special offers?

Surely I could tap my global network to find virtual assistants who’d be only too happy to share their hard earned wisdom?

After all: who better to learn trade secrets from than VAs who are slugging it out in the trenches and succeeding? I may have a few tricks up my sleeve, but I’m also smart enough to know what I don’t know. Yet who has the time or money (or patience!) to learn it all?

Introducing the first ever Virtual Assistant Working Stay-Cation!

I rounded up the brightest and the best of the VA industry. And they’ve committed to sharing with you real world tools and examples of how they themselves are maintaining—even growing—a successful VA practice.

FINALLY – SOME GOOD NEWS FROM CREDIBLE SOURCES

Here’s what I put together:

  • An exciting summer workshop series of 28 educational eSeminars to benefit all virtual assistants worldwide.

  • These seminars will be presented, over the course of the summer, by fellow Virtual Assistants who have been there, done that, and want to share all that (and more) with you!

  • AND...I am making it affordable during these trying economic times so that ANY Virtual Assistant at ANY stage in his or her business career can attend, accessing cutting edge information about getting ahead in an increasingly competitive virtual business environment.
