Book excerpt: How many times have you thought about starting your own business as a virtual assistant, being your own boss, having a work/life balance and choosing what you would like to do - but have never managed to get beyond the 'thinking' point? How often have you looked at your current virtual assistant business and wished you could do more to develop it, but didn't know where to begin? Don't worry. I know exactly what this feels like, because I have been there myself. You will find no fluff, gimmicks or false promises here. Just lots of useful, practical and important information. Running a successful business takes a lot of hard work and commitment, but never let that put you off. You can do it, just in the same way as I and many others have. This book will give you a kick up the V.A.S.S (Virtual Assistant Support Services) ladder by giving you a massive head start in setting up and developing a virtual assistant business. It's intended as an in-depth 'reference manual': something you can read in your own time and refer back to when you feel the need. This book is not a 'get rich quick' solution or a 'set up fast' programme, it is more of a 'get set up properly' guide. I have poured as much information and as many tips, relevant links and practical tasks into this book as I possibly can, alongside my experience of what works and what doesn't. If you are exploring the idea of setting up your own virtual assistant business from home, then this book has been written for you. Likewise, if you are looking to develop and improve your virtual assistant business, if you are someone looking to see if working from home is an option for you, or if you are just looking for some help and support with self-development, then this book has been written for you too. So what's in the book? The brook is split into 5 parts/sections (all within this one book) - (1) Getting Started, (2) Finances (3) Marketing (4), Help and Resources and (5) The Legal Stuff. It covers: Insurances - what do you need and what should you consider? What equipment/stationery you will need? Working with and managing clients - what you should consider and do and how should you invoice? Getting new clients - the various ways to do this. Networking - how does this work and what forms does it come in, what are the do's and don'ts'? Keeping your finances in order - what you have coming in and what you have going out - your bookkeeping! What templates you will need and where can you get them? Should you register for Data Protection? How do you market yourself and get yourself known within the community? Building your brand - various ways you can do this. It's all in here and much, much more.
