Default Re: How did you come up with the name for your virtual assistance company?
It was late 1996 when I was toying with the idea of a 'secretarial service' - this is before I started researching and came across the fledgling industry of virtual assistants.

My first name was 'nancy's secretarial service' - real original right?

I was just going to contact local clients and former employers...you get the idea......then I found a post by Liz Folger of Bizymoms.com she mentioned the words 'virtual assistant' and my life changed forever!!! - I think I found it hidden in some old AOL forum....

Then.......I saw an OLD movie in the sale bin at BlockBuster...it was....

His Girl Friday...and it hit me!!! VIRTUAL GAL FRIDAY...that was 1997.....

So..I have been and still am Virtual Gal Friday! It works, it's me ;-)
