Today’s Summer of Success entry is a highlight of a blog post previously written by Kathie Thomas. Kathie Thomas is a Virtual Assistant Industry veteran, founder of VA Directory and owner of A Clayton’s Secretary. Kathie writes blog posts on her blog, that provide information and resources for both Virtual Assistants and Clients of Virtual Assistants. Kathie graciously allowed me to highlight one of her blog posts as part of the Summer of Success series. You can visit her blog at http://www.vadirectory.net/blog/

In  Kathie’s blog post: “How to Use a Virtual Assistant in Your Business”, Kathie  discusses what a VA is, what one can do for your business and also provides information bout Virtual Assistant rates. Also included in her post is excellent advice for determining  if you are ready to work with a VA. Here is an excerpt from her post:

“If you find you’re spending far too much time in your business (admin, paperwork, etc) rather than working on your business (marketing, promotions, sales), then you definitely need to get some help.  Why not try a VA with one thing at a time?  Don’t expect massive changes straight away but start with a VA and get them to do just one or two of the regular activities you are spending time on.”

Read the blog post in its entirety, “How to Use a Virtual Assistant in Your Business” by Kathie Thomas.

Kathie has written many great blog posts with the client in mind and I urge you to check them all out. Included in her blog posts are also Client Case Studies; which are interviews with clients who utilize Virtual Assistants in their business.
