The 2009 Holiday Season is upon us. Businesses will begin to prepare for 2010 – creating budgets, sending out holiday greetings, planning for tax season and more. Consumers will spend the next month and a half shopping for gifts, both on and offline. Families will begin to cook and plan for holiday parties, children will begin to get antsy for holiday vacation (and make said parents a bit crazy). If you are a virtual entrepreneur or Virtual Assistant, chances are you will be experiencing all of the above and whew, it all sounds EXHAUSTING.

As a business owner myself, I often have to remind myself to stop and take the time to smell the roses, so to speak. I think in order to remain fresh, we all need to take a break, don’t you? So, on December 21st 2009 at 9pm EST, A Virtual Perception will be hosting a very special Holiday Celebration, full of fun and surprises. This is my way of saying thank you for listening all year long and is an opportunity for you to take an hour or so out of your very busy day to just……relax and have fun...AVP style, of course.

Please Note: I am going to heed my own advice and stop to smell the roses myself this holiday season as well. Therefore, there will only be two more new podcast episodes airing this year.

The first will be online by tomorrow Thursday, November 19th and will feature a piece about blogging for your business. The last of the new shows (outside of the Holiday Celebration) will air on December 2, 2009 and will cover multi-va practices (a very popular topic — in fact, AVP’s episode on subcontracting is the most listened to and popular episode to date). AVP will go back to its regular episode schedule on January 6, 2009.

RSVP is now closed. Those that RSVPd are only eligible for the random drawn prizes being given out during the celebration. If you wish to join in this evening and chat with us - join the meeting at: https://webmeeting.dimdim.com/portal...fKey=dvictoria
