VA’s will find the information on the introduction valuable especially the topics on The Radar Screen (mastering delegation) and Leadership Reflection.

Topic Description: Self-Mastery is at the core of everything we do. It is the genesis of all our successes. With Personal Mastery anything is possible; without it, the simplest things are difficult.

Jen’s presentations are deeply personal, yet lighthearted and fun. She shares stories and models from her own experience to help promote a better understanding, and engages the audience in discussion and self-reflection with the sole intention of promoting psychological and emotional health.

BIO: Jen has spent a lifetime as a student of Personal Mastery – her own and others. She coaches others in their journeys from a place of true knowledge, deep compassion, and courage. During her 20-year career in leadership development she has coached and mentored hundreds of people, helping them to find, understand, love, and appreciate themselves.

ProactiveVA Series: Thriving Business Accountability

Date/Time: July 10th, 2009, 2pm–3pm EST
(2nd Friday of each month)

Presented by: Yvonne Weld,
VAinsider President  Visit Website

Topic: Office Administration Protocols

Password: Login to VAinsider Area to pickup link and password to access this seminar

What safeguards do you have in place for your business? Have you documented your business to allow someone to "fill your shoes" in your absence? Are you thinking of adding team members, but worry that they will complete assignments to your standards? The VAinsider Club is excited to introduce the "Thriving Business Accountability Group." The purpose of this group is to work as a group to complete a business procedure manual and begin the daunting task of documenting your business. The overwhelming task of documenting your business will be broken into smaller areas of your business to provide you with a focus and the ability to break this large task into manageable sections.

Yvonne Weld, the author of The Ultimate Guide to Creating a Thriving Business, has generously offered her time to lead this group and provide her experience and expertise as you work to complete your procedure manual.

Accountability meetings will be held in the VAnetworking conference room on the 2nd Friday of each month from 2:00pm EST - 3:00pm EST. The purpose of these meetings will be to discuss/brainstorm the topic from the previous meeting/call and participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and work together to ensure that the information has been completed in their individual procedure manual. A new topic would then be presented with the assignment of tasks to work on before the next call.

All participants need to be willing to commit to putting the work together before each call for this to be a success. The length of the program would be one year, although you can feel free to work ahead at your own pace.

Feel free to come to download and listen to the free information session where Yvonne will discuss the dynamics of this year long program.

VAjot Nights


These are our free for all social nights to network and jot down some points with other virtual business owners about our daily successes and struggles as a business entrepreneur. This is a great way to meet your fellow VA's online to share your business victories throughout the week. This is also a great way for those that are just starting out to ask their questions and get some immediate responses. Sometimes we even share those personal stories of where your dream vacation would be or what you want to do when the kids all move out if they ever do. Please bring with you a positive thing to share about your business and new people, bring your URL to post so we can get to know you better.

A VAseminar is a web seminar which is like an online video or slide presentation event.

The audio portion of the workshop is delivered over your computer speakers. We recommend that you use a headset with a microphone, so you can speak with your hands free. This is a very controlled environment that has the feel of a talk-radio program. During the seminar, you will be able to ask questions of the speaker, very much like participating in a radio talk show. If you prefer, you can also type your questions in a text box during the seminar.

The visual information is delivered via the Internet. It is like watching a slide presentation with the added value of having the speaker annotate and explain the slides.

Testimonial Raves ...

VAnetworking has been a godsend for me and my future VA practice. When I first found this forum, I thought it was almost too good to be true! It's a place where VAs at all stages can share their knowledge, experience, expertise, concerns, and support. I don't know of many other industries that are so supportive of their competition!

I've been amazed at how quickly one can go from the "helpee" to the "helper" at VAN. You have all been so helpful to me...the least I can do is pass the torch to other emerging VAs! As I build my practice, I can't wait to share my real-life VA experiences with all of you! Get ready – I'm sure I'll have many more questions to ask when the clients start calling!

Thanks to Tawnya for providing such a wonderful place for us to network with each other, and thanks to all the moderators and volunteers who keep this forum running like a well-oiled machine! Last, but not least, thanks to all the amazing members here who make this forum so great! VAN is truly a virtual gold mine of information and support, and I'm so proud to be a miner!

Angela Smith

I am totally inspired by the professionalism, encouragement and sharing attitude of the forum hostess and moderators. That’s really what keeps me coming back. I get a real sense of fulfillment and satisfaction from the respect and credibility that this forum brings to the VA industry.
