Deirdre’s Virtual Office is. . .

John Piper answers this question much better than I can.

As usual in a new business sometimes it becomes necessary to streamline your service offerings.

As I approach the “official” 2 year anniversary of beginning my Virtual Assistant business I decided that I would do some sprucing up around the Virtual Office. So today I took some time and made some changes. I took out every service task that didn’t make me happy as I worked and added the new services that I actually love doing.

My business began as a “virtual church secretary” but has evolved into a Coach Virtual Assistant and I’m loving it.  Coaches, you are the best to work with!!  You’re fun,  Exciting,  and love to try new things to make your business the best it can be.  Thanks for letting me help you! I love you all.

Watch for a new blog design coming soon!

I’m curious and if you’re not keeping your age a secret. . . I’m very interested to know how many Baby Boomer Virtual Assistants are out there. Probably some are beginning a second career some may have even been in the business since Mr. Leonard coined the term “Virtual Assistant.” It’s just something I’ve been thinking about lately.

Thanks for humoring me.

I read an article today that gave an explanation on how to link Facebook Events with Google.  This application will automatically add events that you have accepted to your Google calendar.

What will they think of next?

(I’ve always wondered who “they” are)

Read about it here. . .

Happy Linking!

Several people in our church have made a commitment to read the Bible through in 1 year. Only we’re not reading straight through,  Genesis through Revelation. We are going to read it chronologically as it happened! I started a reading plan to read the Bible through a couple months ago so I’m just going to pick up where I am in the schedule, because I know that I’ll probably get behind a bit along the way.

Christmas is always a sentimental time of year.  Families gather together, children excited to see what gifts they will receive,  parents  excited to give good gifts to their children.  Which reminds me of the reason we celebrate Christmas. God wants to give good gifts to His children so He gave the ultimate in good gifts. . . His Only Son.
God chose to send His Gift as a baby to grow into a man to be a substitute for our sins. This year…take some time to really experience Christmas.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 ESV

We moved into our new house on Monday… this is what I saw when the sun came up on Tuesday!

I’ve enjoyed using MyClientSpot with the VA’s that I work with and decided that since I’m telling others about it I might as well share the wealth.  So if you’re in the market for a Project Management program. Check them out by clicking on my link!

Enjoy and Happy Project Managing

How cool is that? I began my Virtual Assistant career with a very small task for Ros Null, The Edge Virtual Assistance. Soon after that she needed another little task completed which I was very happy to do for her. Then as her business began to grow she called and asked if I would be interested in doing some regular sub-contract work with her. Of course I said “Yes!” Several months later Kylie Short, Tilda Virtual Services contacted me to ask if I would like to do some subcontract work for her. I said “YES!”

During this time I realized how much I enjoyed working with Virtual Assistants. I treat my Virtual Assistant clients with the same respect that I treat a regular client but even that doesn’t sound quite right. The Virtual Assistant IS my client. And in fact I feel that I must work harder for the VA because I have the responsibility of not not only representing my company but also the company of the VA.

Sure, I’m not making the amount of money that the VA is making, but I also don’t have the added expense of marketing and finding the clients.

More next time on the actual services I provide to my Virtual Assistant clients and the fabulous VAs that I work with.

Last Sunday, June 1, was our last Sunday with our beloved small church, Saloma Baptist Church.  We have developed lifelong friendships with the wonderful people there.

June 15th we will begin a new journey in our church ministry at Cecilia Baptist Church, which is a slightly larger church in membership and much larger in size.  We look forward to the ministry opportunities that await us there.  My husband will be the Music Minister.

So, what I’m asking from you is that you will lift us up in prayer as we transition from one church to another.
