Our library system is HUGE, and believe it or not they didn't even have this book!!!! So I just ordered it from Amazon this past Friday. Can't wait! I'll read it on my plane ride next week. Keep my mind off of dying. LOL

Would you say that it is similar to other VA start up. I have 3 VA books that talk about start up, maketing, registering. Just trying to keep things under control. I tend to be a book junkie.

Thanks!

Hi Tammie,

Yes, this is similar to other VA books when it comes to the typical "getting started" info. As with most books, though, it does have its differences, like the Spouse With a Mouse section that has you sit down with your significant other to discuss exactly how running a business will affect your family life. I try to highlight what makes each book different and worth checking out, so feel free to read through the various reviews and let me know if you have other questions.

I'm a book junkie too, and I would buy every book under the sun if I could. I completely understand the desire to pick only those books that will have the most impact on you!

Thank you for that. I have heard mixed reviews on it. I think I will just pass for now. I LOVE your review section.

I am reading this book now and I have reference tabs all over the book! I know that I will need to review it later and therefore, I will keep it handy. Thanks for the review.

I just got my copy in the mail today...and I'm already done reading it! It's a great resource for someone like me that is just getting started. It's also the first VA book I've read so I don't have anything to compare it to. I really like the resources for military spouses that are included. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and I really feel like I can do this now!

I bought this book along with the Virtual Assistant-The Series to get myself started. I liked them and refer back to both. I tend to look at multiple sources and gleen the information that feels right to me.

I keep going back to it and am having trouble coming up with the right words to put on my home page,all other pages are pretty good but words just don't come easy when I am trying to put something together about "me". I am getting there but thankfully this book has great info. in it.
