Thank you for sharing! I think it's great that you started in 1985 - Wow! I can't image how that was, when today I still have people asking what a VA is!

Awesome interview, thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you for sharing so openly in this interview. It is so encouraging to learn of successful ventures in the VA business and gives such hope to us newbies!!

Thank you, again. I enjoy your posts here.

Hi

Thank you all so much!! You guys are always so sweet and encouraging. I sure do appreciate that.

And thank you all too for your comments on our book. It's so good to hear that it makes a difference in helping someone start their business. I just love hearing that.

You guys totally rock!

Thank you VAF for doing interviews!

Diana, what you have to say is very encouraging. The things that stood out for me are: 1) getting paid ahead of time; 2) scheduling exercise in my day; and 3) press releases. I will have to make sure I find out how press releases are done nowadays.

Thank you for sharing your time!

Refreshing interview, Diana. Virtual Assistant - The Series was one of the first things I bought when I decided to create my own business. It contains a wealth of information and sits on my bookshelf ready to be referenced when needed. Thanks for your willingness to share your knowledge. You're very encouraging and an excellent representative of the industry.

Diana, what a great interview...but I'm not surprised. You rock! You definitely set the standard for many of us. I appreciate your willingness to always share and encourage other virtual assistants along the way through your books and Twitter or VAF chats.

Below is my favorite quote from your interview.

"I’m an expert and leader in my field because I never stop learning. I attend teleseminars all the time. I read everything I can get my hands on that would help me better my PR services. Also, it’s my passion so I give it 200%."

Thanks again for sharing with us and for continuing to support the forums.

Diana,

Great interview, I was hanging on every word trying to keep it in mind for my business. I love your encouragement instead of jealousy or secrecy.
