Social Networks Are For Everyone: Part 2
We can’t hang out on professional networks all the time. Sometimes it helps you focus on work to take a break and enjoy yourself! A perfect place to do this is at ZooToo, a social network that is driven by the love of pets.
Yes, you read that correctly, the pet social network.

Social Networks Are For Everyone: Part 1
Think there’s not a social network tailored to your specific needs? You’d be amazed at what’s out there!
If your target market as a VA is mortgage lenders you should consider visiting Active Rain, a social network for both real estate agents, mortgage lenders, and all other kinds of professionals that deal with housing.

Working From Home When You Have Health Issues
I have a friend with a wicked case of diabetes. I don’t know if you call it a case or not, there may be a better word, but man, that chick throws out needles like a madwoman (because she goes through them so fast.)
When she worked in an office, it would be difficult because [...]
Working At Home With Toddlers
I’d say it was difficult, but I’m sure in exchange I’d hear a round of, "Really? No duh!"
We’re all aware that sometimes we think we better invest heavily in life insurance for kids because they’re not going to make it through the day – I mean, toddlers never stop making noise, and that’s something [...]

Father’s Day is Coming (or, this is why I’m a bad wife LOL)
You should see me making a fuss over Mother’s Day. I make sure my husband knows that I’m expecting the moon and a side order of stars every year. I usually get a card and perfume, but it’s still fun to harass him as the day approaches.
Of course, Father’s Day is a different animal [...]
How To Catch Back Up After A Holiday
Whew. Three day weekends are FUN! Okay, so I was sweating it out under a huge deadline for a ginormous writing project while most of you were sitting on your patio furniture relaxing with friends.
Wait, you mean you were working too? I hope not for the entire weekend!
For those of you that took [...]
Tawnya Southerland wins award! Yea!
Tawnya is the winner of this year’s Thomas Leonard award.
What does this mean? It means that when you kick ass and support the VA industry with every breath you take you win an award that says "Yea Me!"
I cannot think of anyone more deserving, or that has done more to promote the VA [...]
Style, Casual Elegance, and a Dockers Contest
I know some of you are die-hard suit wearing chicas when you go on your client meetings. I’m much more business casual. I go to networking meetings and client meetings in nice jeans, a nice silk t-shirt (or a cotton t-shirt that looks sleek and nice) and have no problem closing the deal, because when [...]

Three days pass…and you haven’t heard a peep, what do you do?
