What Is A Virtual Assistant & What Does A VA Do?

Your to-do list is overflowing, your email inbox is a disaster, and you haven’t touched that big-picture project in months. That’s when people start asking me: What is a virtual assistant anyway?”

People are used to assistants in the old-fashioned way – like in the movies where they run around town for coffee or dry cleaning. Or type like they did when my mom was a “secretary”.  It’s changed so much in recent years. 

Originally stuck in the office, we now know that work can be done anywhere. For many people, working from a home office is not only as effective, but it can also be more productive. It also means less overhead and better access for you.

Not all virtual assistants are the same.  Some are limited in skill and experience, some are overseas and have limited services they can offer.
