Thanks i already love being on this forum, but i have to say that it has so much info on it that i am over whelmed. Im kinda like how my dog is when she is in the toy isle in the pet store. i dont know what to do first. But excited on the less.

I know what you mean about at first being overwhelmed about all the resources available. What I am learning to do is focus on a subject look for those post or information. That way I'm not overwhelmed with everything. You will do just fine. We are all here to help one another to succeed

Hi Heather, welcome to the forums
My family and I just moved to Portland this last summer and there was a month-long period where we had to wait for our rental house to be ready so we snagged a house right on the coast. What a beautiful place to live! We loved it there and are looking forward to planning a trip back over when the weather warms up a bit.

I'll look forward to chatting with you further on the boards!

Is it spring yet in Oregon. I have family there- and usually once your trees start blooming we can start finally warming up in Ohio. Welcome- I have been an Marketing Admin for over 10 years and done a lot of on-site contracting. Becoming a virtual assistant has not been much of a transition- however changing things like Website, documents, packages/offerings has taken some time and for me is still in process.

Hi Heather,

Welcome to the forum. I am a newbie and I am in the research stage. Like you, I felt so overwhelmed by the wealth of information available on VAF. However, a few days ago I began using the "Basic 'To Do List' for Preparing to Launch a VA Practice" document that I received a link to in my welcome email. I have found it to be very helpful in putting my planning process into a much better perspective. I am learning so much and I really appreciate finding this forum as I know VAF will play a big role in me being able to launch my business. Once again, welcome Heather and I know you will enjoy VAF!

Riley,
Would you mind sending me that in a PM. I would love to review to make sure that I haven't missed the basic.
