Thank you for the book - it is wonderful! I have already referred it to a potential VA and will send another referral to one of our new members I’m mentoring. I think the information is relevant to VAs at all stages. When I started almost three years ago, I didn’t buy any books - yours is the first one I’ve purchased. Though I thought about others, I just didn’t commit. Thank you for making affordable and an easy read.” - Sue Kramer, Peace of Mind Virtual Assistance (Clarendon Hills, Illinois)“How to Become a Successful Virtual Assistant has helped in marketing my business and also gave me more ideas of how I can help clients.” - Stephanie Edwards (Colorado)
“I downloaded the e-book when I was researching what VAs were and how to become one. The book made me think about a lot of items I probably wouldn’t have thought about on my own! I officially started my VA business full time at the end of June [2007] and am working very hard to get in the fast lane! I really enjoyed the chapter titled ’Dishes to Data Entry: How to Effectively Balance Work and Home Responsibilities. One of my biggest challenges of starting my VA business was: How am I going to juggle my business and my 3 children (ages 7, 5 and 3). This chapter gave me some great ideas to implement with my children and myself. It is certainly an adjustment for everyone and things run smoother and smoother every day!” - Kim Seehaver (Wisconsin)
“Although I had been working from home, I didn’t realize that I was a virtual assistant. This book helped me realize what I was doing and how much more I could become. I was motivated to begin my own business as a VA and it gave me the confidence to step outside the box and acquire more clients with the knowledge I had.” - Patty Fusselman (Indiana)
“Melanie, I purchased your e-book and it is great! It gave me some ideas and you are really straight forward as what can really be done versus the UTOPIA idea of having a family and working and everything will work out just fine on its own!!! You give good advice and good references! I have read it twice at least, every time finding something new or seeing it through different eyes.” - Maria Stahli, International Executive Choice (Browns Summit, North Carolina)
“It was nice to hear from somebody who is already successful as a virtual assistant. It’s also nice that somebody would be willing to share their thoughts and information with others so that they may also become successful. This e-book has really been helpful and informative to me. Thanks again!” - Merry Carter (Pennsylvania)
