I don't even know what else I can say any better than anyone else here!

I have ALWAYS enjoyed coming to this forum because of all of the kindness and support that I feel here. It is an added benefit for me to pop on and read about fellow virtual assistants, their stories, and just to learn more about them over-all.

Mary, you are one pretty awesome lady (if you don't mind me saying).

You have made some great points and comments for everyone to consider (no matter where they are in their business at this point and time). I can clearly see that many have already started taking notes as to what you are saying in some areas. Truly inspiring!

It's a true pleasure to be acquainted with you, Mary!

Wonderful interview Mary, it was indeed a pleasure to read and learn more about you and your VA business. Your interviews have always been a great read coming from someone who is truly talented when it comes to the English language, thank you for your great contributions to VAF!

That was a great interview. The questions were pertinent, and Mary Ruth's replies were encouraging and enlightening. I want a laptop so I can take my business with me! I'd like to network on this and other sites while sitting in the sun or watching my kid play soccer! This was inspiring, so thank you!

Lisa.

Great Interview!! Mary, you never cease to amaze me

. I love your style and I'm so glad we've been able to connect in other ways as well here lately. Thank you for sharing your story with us!

I "know" Mary from other forums, especially Craig's VA Classroom, and always love reading what Mary has to share.

But you are as bad as me with the "I spend 12-15 hours online every day".

My hubby is always surprised how I can do that for so many hours.

Great interview!

Thanks to all who have responded. I felt pretty special being interviewed, and appreciate your delicious support.

Heike - I've never before concentrated so completely on anything, though I've always been passionate and active. But learning the internet is GIGANTIC!!!! And full of distractions, of course. Or maybe I'm just a slow reader... Feels like I'm on the trail of vast knowledge, so I keep hunting, and the 'net never disappoints.

But whatever, the main thing is that I don't seem to get tired of it. Or when I do, it's easy to take a break. Plus, I have no kids or anyone to take care of except Rick (who is a considerable responsibility, but then he's responsible for me, too).

I understand what you mean. I went back to working in the corporate world for just under two months and really grieved over the "loss" of working virtually. It was so bad that I resigned.

I feel very passionate about internet marketing, it's like an addiction.

Heike - Referring to passion about internet marketing as addiction would disturb me, but I'm no fool - we're all addicted to one thing or another. At least the web keeps us connected!

I have had to re-invent myself, it seems, many times over my career. I don't look back anymore. The future is my allurement these days, and the internet reflects that.
