Posted on May 27, 2010 by Tina

It occured to me today on one of our Future of Virtual Assistance calls that we are actually pioneers as virtual assistants, online business managers and the like.

What Stops You from Making Decisions?

Posted on April 30, 2010 by Tina

With all the changes in my biz over the past few months I’ve been very purposely letting go of the ‘doing’ – with my awesome team in place (Tiffany and Marki) I’ve actually been able to pull myself out of a lot of the doing stuff that occupied much of my time. They’ve been lovingly [...]

I don’t really have anything to say…

Posted on April 16, 2010 by Tina

So I’ve spent the past few days racking my brain, trying to come up with my next brilliant ezine article.

The Virtually Successful Telesummit starts on Monday – woo hoo! I’ve been wanting to do this Telesummit for a long time as I’ve seen an issue brewing in the virtual support industry for some time now… 
And that is when someone tries to “do it all” – when they brand themselves as a generalist and try [...]

Posted on December 1, 2009 by Tina

I’m curious – are you ever lonely working from home? This came up in a discussion today in our OBM Mastermind group – and it made me go hmmm…
I’ve always joked with people that I rarely leave my house – which between my work and my children is quite true. Outside of taking the girls [...]

Posted on November 26, 2009 by Tina

 So last Friday I started getting a hint of the flu, could feel it coming on… the achy body, chills, bit of a headache. By Sunday I was full on sick with everything plus a very sore throat. I expected to start feeling better by Monday, but alas that wasn’t the case… the flu stuff [...]

Posted on September 18, 2009 by Tina

A few months ago I started to get the ‘itch’… after a few years of being really focused on my kids (who are now 19 months and 3 years) it felt like it was time to get back to me and what I want from my business and life.
