As a new VA this is the first time I heard of that since the famous sub-contracting word. Also, that you chose to move your office out of home is interesting, congratulations. __________________ Your Virtual Assistant--Bilingual www.AssistantOffice.com

No matter how hard, busy etc it could always be worse. You remind me to aim high that you can dream big and achieve it and maybe working from home forever may not be the best option permanently.

I like this...makes sense too. I have to remember I can't be wishy washy but need to be firm with guidelines I set for my business, and by respecting my clients, I'll gain their respect too! __________________ Terri Williams, Assisting the small business owner www.terripwilliams.com
