Brandon and George are two best friends who started a blog called Pants Off Entrepreneurs. They are setting out on a journey across the United States to interview fellow entrepreneurs to find out how and when they decided to take fate into their own hands and start their own business. Their hope…to inspire others to follow their dreams. In Episode 56, I talk with both Brandon and George about their inspiring project.

Episode 53 is another entrepreneurial spotlight episode featuring Jeff LeRiche, owner of Off The Chain Sports (OTCSports for short). OTCSports is an online provider of baseball and softball equipment. Just in time for spring training! Jeff and I spoke about his business, marketing (and more specifically how social media plays a role in his business marketing) and much more. It is always great hearing from other entrepreneurs how they started their business, their business strategy and how they are finding success. My conversation with Jeff was no exception.

It has been a while since I have aired an interview with a Virtual Assistant and so, I am very happy to be sharing with you today my interview with Virtual Assistant Andrea Jackson of Action Jackson VA. Andrea and I had a nice conversation about her business, virtual assistant niches, as well as, The Virtual Entrepreneur (TVE) Ezine. TVE is a business magazine and tool Andrea started to not only serve the VA Industry, but to educate others about the industry as well.

In Episode 13 – I explored the world of subcontracting with guests Collette Schultz and Diane Hess. Collette Schultz discussed what it was like being a subcontractor for other Virtual Assistants. Is Subcontracting for You? has proven to be one of the most popular episodes to date.
So, with this in mind, I decided to dive into this topic just a little bit more. This time with the help of Nickey Hollenbach, owner of Personal Touch Concierge Service, LLCi, owner of a multi-virtual assistant practice. Nickey shares her business story and tells how she went from being a single operated virtual assistant business to a team based business. Nickey provides an often unseen glimpse as to what it takes to run a multi-va practice. It was a pleasure speaking with her. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode and that is helps you in determining whether building a multi-va practice is the right choice for you.
