Hi everyone. My name is Tracey Ehman and I just began my VA business at the end of November. I have found this site to be incredible and realized, after attending some of the calls on Wednesday evenings that I never did introduce myself. I have connected with many of you on Twitter already. You are all incredible and I consider this forum a life-saver and business builder.

A little about me. I am married with two kids, 9 and 12 and in my past life, I was a Systems Analyst, Business Analyst, Customer Complaints contact, and always had something entrepreneurial on the side. I worked from home for about 5 yrs in Direct Sales, and it just wasn't the right fit for me. When I decided in the fall that I needed to go back to work, the thought of not being there for my kids, and having more restricted hours, just didn't sit well with me.

Through networking I have connected with incredible people that welcomed my newly offered services with open arms and my virtual assistant business was born.

I look forward to sharing, connecting and learning from everyone here.

Please feel free to follow me on twitter or contact me directly

yours in success

Hi Tracey, lovely to meet you. My children have grown now but I brought up 5 daughters in the early years of my business. The last one left home last January.

Like you, I've always had an entrepreneurial streak - even when my kids were babies. So when I finally found what I really wanted to do, I embraced it completely. 15 years later and I'm still here in my home office and loving it.

Hello and Tracey ,
I am new my self but just wanted to welcome you as well.
And to wish you luck with your business.

Hi Tracy.

Nice to meet another Canadian on the boards! I actually grew up around Vancouver and can't wait for my vacation in the summer to go back and visit family.

I wish you the best of luck in your business and look forward to chatting with you

Hi Tracy, welcome to Virtual Assistant Forums - it's great to have you here and you're most welcome! But I have a feeling you're mixing us up with another website; we don't have weekly calls but we do have lots of other wonderful events going on, so stay tuned and do make yourself at home
