3. What is a VA?
• Virtual Assistants are entrepreneurs and one of the hottest home-
based businesses, who provide administrative, technical or creative
and sometimes social assistance to clients from a home based
office.
• Virtual Assistants are independently-contracted business owners,
not employees. They work out of their own offices, manage the
work from their clients and how it is carried out, set their own
rates, as well as operating standards and policies.

4. What is a VA? (Cont’d)
• Virtual Assistants help small businesses expand their business
instead of dealing with daily duties. Virtual assistants are cost
effective because you only pay them when they work. Since
they are independent contractors, they are also tax
deductible.

6. Why Use a VA as a Business Owner?
As a business owner, VA’s give you permission to…
• Make More Money, Waste Less Time; You went into your line of work because it’s
your passion and your good at it, it’s your money maker. Does your admin work
make you money ? Is it done in your after hours or worse…done during your
business hours? Is it consuming your time and leaving you with an unbalanced life?
• Growing a Business/Work Your Business Plan ; By delegating other duties you
have more time and energy to invest into growth strategies and work your business
plan.
• Seek & Take Advantage of Business Opportunities; Business opportunities are key
to the long term success of any business; ie: Networking Groups, Expo’s, Business
Partnering, Expansion.

7. Benefits of Using a VA as a Biz Owner
• No need to share office space, or find additional office space for an
employee
• No need to buy additional office equipment and create expensive
overhead
• No need to deal with the administration details associated with
payroll, payroll taxes, insurance, benefits….

8. Why Use a VA in your Personal Life?
As a Busy, Overwhelmed Parent or Individual, VA’s give you
permission to…
• Check Off “To Do” Lists; Give away 1-2 or even 4-5 things on your “to do” list for
that hectic time of the year or upcoming family event or that seemingly never
ending project. Tasks can take as little as an hour or two for a VA’s to complete, for
as little as 25.00-50.00 for that progress and stress relief.
• Dream the dream of having a Nanny; you can have that nanny you’ve always’
dreamed of w/o all the cost by using VA’s as Personal Assistants
• “I’ll have my peeps call your peeps”; why can’t everyone have a PA like Oprah and
all the celebrities….and you get to call us your “personal assistant “
• Call in the Experts; Stop being frustrated all the time when you can’t find
something or just don’t have time to look for it. VA’s get you better deals & service
any way’s because it’s what they do everyday
