I had opted to upgrade to the Insider club last December ('09). I was paying on a monthly basis, then something went wrong with my paypal account and the subscription was cancelled. I'm trying to decide whether or not to go for it again. I KNOW it's a great value, and it is probably a good idea, but the cost of $300 is a lot right now. And, if I pay monthly, then I don't see the whole benefit right away.

I guess I'm just asking for some feedback - everyone that is an insider says it's a great thing for the business. Which of the upgrades is it better to go with? Should I pay monthly or annually? When I joined in December, there was a special rate, which of course now I have lost - will there ever be a special rate again?

I'm trying to justify the $333 as a good investment in my business; one that will be paid back "in spades".

Thanks for any advice!

Sharon, these are questions that only you can answer and some of the answers won't come clear until after you've made the commitment to the program. You can make arrangements to pay monthly on each of the programs, which is a big help.

Look again at the tangibles included with membership. If you are a VA starting out in business, the things that come with membership that you can SEE have a lot of usefulness and therefore value. Some of them are things that can jumpstart your business as opposed to floundering around trying to get something going.

At sometime, we all have to make the choice about our business investments. What works or doesn't work for someone else isn't always a good measure for what will work for you.

It speaks well of you that you are thinking it over; whichever choice you make, try to make one that will benefit you.

Best wishes for your decision and your business.

PS, have you contacted the powers that be to discuss your account? Are you certain that you must begin again at the beginning?
