Default Virtual Assistant Team
Hello,

We are new to the VA world. My husband and I decided to start a VA business and we are in the initial phases of startup. Obviously, we have a long way to go to get our first client. I have worked in early childhood education for the past 10 yrs until we had our son Nicholas, who is now 2 yrs old. Prior to that, I was a secretary for a small company in Banbury, England. Since we are firm believers in raising our own children, what’s better to returning to the work force than a home business? My husband is the technical guru of our startup—I’ll let him handle most of the IT Support and web administration while I handle all of the VA duties. We are looking forward to our new line of business in the VA profession--we feel like we have a lot to offer.

Alison & Dennis

Hello and welcome to both of you
My husband is the custom programming side of our VA and website building team - it's so much fun and such a blessing to be able to work together (but also means LOTS of sincere and patient chats together about business policy, etc.)
We're having a blast building a life and a business together and I'm sure you will too.

Looking forward to learning more about you both and watching your practice grow

Welcome Alison and Dennis, how lovely that you can work together! My husband and I met in the corporate world - I was his secretary, so we both have a good understanding of how each other operates, although we don't work together these days. But he does take a keen interest in my business and tells many people about it, and gives out my business cards.

I know you'll learn heaps here as there are so many with varied experiences. Enjoy exploring and learning - it's a great industry!
