How did you get into the VA Business field?

I had a friend who started doing virtual assisting, and it sounded like what I had been looking for. I grew up in a family owned business, and I always identified more with being in charge of my own destiny. After being in the corporate environment for quite a while, I decided that becoming a VA was the perfect answer.

What is your specialty or niche?

I offer most VA services, but I love desktop publishing. It seems that graphics and I were made for each other. No matter what a piece of clip art looks like, I always want to change it and add my own personal touch. Being a perfectionist, nothing leaves my office until it is what I consider "just right".

What is your best advice to other VAs and/or motto that you do business by?

I have lived my whole life by the axiom: "Anything worth doing is worth doing well." Needless to say, this applies not only to my business life, but my personal life also. I don't have any patience with a job that is half done, or done in a sloppy fashion, and I certainly don't expect my clients to accept inferior work. I am a professional, and I take pride in my work.

Anything else you would like to add?

• Be honest and trustworthy.
• Treat others the way you want to be treated.
• Things can be replaced - people can't.
