What is a Virtual Assistant?

As I read over my first few posts I realize that maybe there are people out there that are wondering "What is a VA - Virtual Assistant?" So I thought maybe I would include that description from my brochure. The following is reprinted with permission from VANA.

What is a Virtual Assistant?

VAnetworking.com: "A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a highly-trained independent entrepreneur who provides a myriad of business support services virtually via phone, fax and internet based technology to support and meet the growing needs of businesses worldwide.
Partnering with a VA reduces stress, protects cash flow, eliminates administrative hassles, and enables business people to find the success they originally set out to achieve.
A VA is your right hand person helping you to succeed in your business. The irony is you may never meet your VA as odds are they live nowhere near you!"
