Are you an experienced PA / Executive Assistant?
Are you fed up with commuting?
Would you like to choose the people you work with?
Would you like to choose your own working hours?
Would you like to fully utilize and increase your skills?
Would you like to create the freedom to live the life you really want?
Are you ready for a challenge...?
If you answered "yes" to more than one of these questions then chances are you are ready to take charge of your life!
A VA, or Virtual Assistant works from their own (home) office with their own chosen clients. Today's technological advances enable a VA to work remotely from clients by sharing data over the Internet. Think what it would be like to work hours that suit you and have no commute! Working for yourself enables you to focus on the tasks you love and even create a niche working with clients in an industry of your choice.
To help you on your way there are a few things to consider before handing in your notice and starting your business…

WHAT MAKES KATE BACON THE EXPERT?
Kate Bacon, experienced London executive assistant started http://www.katebacon.com in 2003 when she became tired of commuting between Brighton and London every day.
“I knew I had the skills of an excellent PA and wanted to work from a place I loved – fitting work around my life. I learned by trial and error and have found out what works and what definitely does not! I want to share my knowledge and experience enabling you to make the right choices when considering starting your own business as a VA.
With the right mix of clients in place I now am in control of my life, make more money without the commute, the weather and the stress. I work with clients I love, support them to excel in their own businesses and have the satisfaction of knowing I did it all myself!”
The eCourse is the result of 5 years work building her own successful VA business. Why struggle when you can LEARN from an expert and create YOUR VERY OWN SUCCESSFUL VA BUSINESS easily...

What people are saying:
I can honestly say it is the best resource anyone could have if they are thinking of becoming a VA.
It is written in a concise way, but asks all the questions needed to ensure you know what you are doing from the outset. For anyone considering VA work, it is an essential guide to the industry, as well as invaluable tool for setting up in business.
Whilst I read it cover to cover when I first received it, I have dipped into it again and again as my journey towards setting up in business has progressed. There are so many helpful web addresses listed – how many hours trawling the Internet would it have taken to find out the information so readily given?
This book is essential for anyone considering this career move – you can save yourself so much time and effort; I would definitely recommend it!
