Tuesday, September 30th, 2008I agree that social networking can be an important part in bringing in new clients and making contacts but if you don’t put a time limit on the social networking aspect of your business it can be a bad thing.

The Danger of Comparing Your Biz to Others’
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008Personally speaking it’s really easy to begin comparing my level of success to that of another virtual assistant who opened her doors the same time I did. This is a very damaging thing to do!

Another thought on time management. . .
Monday, April 28th, 2008It seems like time management is a general theme. Time management is a key factor to being a work-at-home mom.

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008It’s so easy to overextend yourself. I’m finding it necessary to keep reminding myself to “stay focused” in my online business.

Learning How To Take the Initiative
Friday, April 4th, 2008Yesterday, Chistina shared a post about learning how to say “No” and yes, it’s hard to do with us people pleasers but I’ve had to learn something else in developing my virtual assitance business.

Networking 2
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008Definitely - networking is key to being a freelance. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a VA that I met through the forum.
