Hi everyone!

I am new to the virtual assistant business and have just launched my website http://www.espritdelegation.com I was working as a copywriter, but found jobs hard to come by, as people demanded more.

I am the mother of two boys, ages 4 and 5 and decided to start working from home when I got tired of job-hunting. My husband is in the military, and as a result, we move every 2 to 4 years. Employers don't always like to hire me, and I don't enjoy constantly looking for work. Becoming a virtual assistant is the smartest thing I've done so far.

I am currently a student in Erin Blaskie's Build your VA business program (fantastic!), and this forum came highly recommended. I've only looked around a bit so far, but can see why such good things have been said. Everyone seems very helpful, and I look forward to learning from and meeting more VA's in the future.

Welcome! Where is your hubby currently stationed? My son (19 yrs - when did I get THAT old? ) is stationed in Mosul, Iraq.

Hi there
I thought I'd jump in here with a quick answer to your question as we actually have an ad for one of Erin's classes in the sidebar of the site right now (look for the ad about the 8 week program "Build Your VA Business" - there was such great (unsolicited) feedback from our members that I decided her class would be a great first advertisement on the site.
Erin is also the feature of our December Professional VA Interview!
