Good evening to everyone out there.

I set up my VA business in Feb this year, and quit employment to concentrate full time on my business in June.

I have a background in admin, accounts and project management.

It has been my dream to set up a VA practice for the past 12 years but I wanted to build up a bank of corporate experience first.

My business moto is "clear desk - clear head - clear focus", so my business aims are to help execs and small business owners to clear their desks of frustrating admin and their heads of niggling "to-dos" so that they can focus on moving their businesses forward.

To build on the "focus" element of my moto, I am also just about to complete an advanced certificate in executive coaching. It's a wonderful area to get into, and it means I will be able to offer both practical support in the "doing" and also support in the personal development of my clients.

I am just about to launch a secondary site offering free tips and advice on business and personal admin with free downloadable products, under the name of "the to do list tamer".

I am looking forward to building relationships here, and helping and supporting fellow VAs as well as receiving invaluable support from you too.

My personal mission statement is to ensure that any lives I have the opportunity to effect are influenced positively. If there are any ways I can help you, please let me know.

Looking forward to hearing back soon!
