As I write, My Virtual Assistant has built over 70 websites and it saddens me when I open up a website which has so obviously been 'home-made' by the business owner or built for them by a friend or family member.

Over the last 8 years My Virtual Assistant has written articles for VA training manuals, been interviewed on national television, sponsored various fundraising events, appeared in magazines and newspapers, won an award, launched over 60 websites, rebranded the business and answered hundreds of questions from potential VA's about becoming a VA.

As its already the end of January, you may have been back at work for at least a week or two already and the Christmas/New Year break might feel like it was a while ago, but I thought I'd share a little 'reinforcing' lesson I learnt during my holiday.

You may already know, my partner and I are keen boaties and as we hadn’t been out on our boat since June we were very excited to leave on Boxing Day.

My Virtual Assistant celebrates 7 YEARS IN BUSINESS on 13 March 2016!

Massive thanks to my family, friends, colleagues and fabulous networking team for all your support, and of course, to my a-m-a-z-i-n-g clients - I couldn't have done it without you!

It's Monday 2 November, the day after New Zealand All Blacks won the 2015 Rugby World Cup, at Twickenham, England - and I'm still buzzing!
 
It's been a tremendous event, with many of the ‘underdog’ teams producing outstanding results. Everyone fell in love with Japan when they beat South Africa, such a surprising win, resulting with tears from players and spectators from both sides as the game ended.

Wow! What a privilege and a pleasure to be on the VIP table for The Lounge's amazing 'Raising It For Hilz' fundraising luncheon, held on Sunday 23 August.

We not only sat with incredibly interesting people, we were treated to outstanding service and enjoyed every mouthful of our SIX course lunch, with fabulous wines to match each course.

I even discovered a new, delicious chardonnay (Babich Irongate 2013), which has now been added to my list of faves!

Back in March I posted about facilitating my first Venus networking meeting.

Well, today was my last meeting and I have to say, looking back, it was a much more enjoyable experience that I thought it was going to be.
