I’ve been meaning to create a directory of Virtual Assistants (VAs) and their skill sets for a while. I saw @Minervity tweet this link out this morning and it gave me the gentle nudge I needed to get the ball rolling.
I consult with a lot of potential clients (PCs) and when they aren’t the right fit for me, I want to send them in a direction that will help them find their ideal VA.
The concept hasn’t been fully realized yet. There are a few directions I can head into: a RFP center, a membership/forum site where I make all of my templates available… your suggestions are welcomed.
What I do know is that there will never be a cost associated with simply listing your VA business in this directory.
At this stage in the game, if you’d like to be included, all you have to do is provide the following information in a comment.
I will keep you posted on what/when/how, but in the meantime, I’ll be able to reference the VAs on the list so that when a PC doesn’t work with me, they have another resource in their quest to find a VA.
Thanks for taking the time to submit your information.
I’m thrilled and honored to have been awarded AssistU’s Techie of the Year Award.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for me.
I’m thankful to be part of such a wonderful group of smart and savvy professionals. Special thanks to Stacy Brice, Dawn Goldberg and their dedicated group of VAs who made the award ceremony happen this past weekend in Minneapolis.
Other awards included:
I appreciate the recognition and I value my VA community tremendously.
Much love and many thanks!

The good news is that the links work.
The bad news is that I forgot to record the phone call.
Yep, you heard me right.
I remembered to hit the video RECORD, but not the audio RECORD. Darn it!
You should still check out the cool and nifty widget from DimDim.
If you attended the call, I would love to hear your thoughts on the entire process.
Again, thanks so much for your interest.
This has been a wonderful learning experience for me and I am grateful for the opportunity.

I was recently nominated for two Community Recognition Awards from AssistU.
(Yay, Me. *\0/*)

I am grateful and appreciative.
Thank you, my AU Community Sistahs.
Howdy, Campers!
It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged about anything.
I got so excited this morning that I had to dust off my neglected WordPress blog and post an update.
I just registered for Ali Brown’s SHINE Event in Vegas November 5-7, 2009.
If you are looking to attend a work/retreat event this year, I can’t recommend this enough.
I attended Ali’s Online Success Blueprint Workshop in Los Angeles last November and got so much out of it.
I am extremely careful about who I endorse.Â
I hardly recommend any products for anybody in the Internet Marketing world. *smiles*
With that said, I do have a few disclosures:

Rock on.
This morning, I had the pleasure of being the guest expert on Blog Talk Radio: Secrets of Her Success.
Darcy Volden Hoag, the Founder of Secrets of Her Success, graciously asked me to explain the virtues of Virtual Assistance and how delegation can help business owners prosper.
It was a great experience and I enjoyed conveying all of the benefits of working with a Virtual Assistant and answering some great questions about this burgeoning industry.
Recently, I had the great pleasure of being nominated for three AssistU Community Recognition Awards. The award ceremony was held this past weekend in Las Vegas. It was a time for visiting with friends and meeting new ones in the process.
By now, many of you have heard that I got a wee bit sick while there in Vegas. I had flown in specifically for this mid-day event, only to get a bad case of motion sickness on the flight into Vegas (I swear).
If you didn’t get to hear all of the gory details, I encourage you to click to see my ==> YouTube video. After recording that video, I realized I hadn’t taken the time to properly thank the people that helped me the most during my sickly visit to Vegas.
Without a doubt, I owe so much thanks to my VA sisters for taking care of me during my time of need. While I was able to recover and have a good time visiting with everyone, I had to make a special mention to those people who went out of their way to comfort my sickly self (smirk).
