Description: What’s the difference between Oprah / Mary Kay (Mary Kay cosmetics) / Anita Roddick (Body Shop) / JK Rowling (Harry Potter) and you?

They know THEIR powers, their natural strengths, their unique gifts. They know what they do that makes them special AND how to use that to enrich the lives of those around them.

How would your life be different if you knew what your unique powers were and understood how to use them to make a difference in the lives around you?

Join Dawn to discover what your unique powers and strengths are, and learn how to use them to make your life exceptional! Discover the value in your negative traits (controlling, impatient, …), learn who to align yourself with, and how to choose the right tasks for you and finally understand that delegating is your gift to others.
We are all powerful beyond our imagination. When we believe in ourselves, we are able to find the courage to step up and do the things we dream of.

BIO: I found my ideal job, and my life sky rocketed to a whole new level! However, I struggled for 12 years trying to be a career woman and still bake cookies with my children while keeping the house spotless. I felt like a failure as a mother and a professional.

Discovering HOW I bring value to the world, has allowed me to become a Mom who LOVES life again. I laugh more, don’t sweat the small stuff and

What is a Proactive VA Series?

A Virtual Assistant who strategically seeks ways to help their client’s business grow because of an invested interest in their business.

If the client succeeds -> the VA succeeds!

ProactiveVAseriesThis series of workshops presented by Tawnya Sutherland, founder of VAnetworking.com and Certified Internet Marketing Specialist (Visit Website), will help you take your VA business to that next level of success that will switch your yearly income into the financial levels you have always dreamed of. Available to all VAinsider Club member levels. CLICK TO ACCESSIntro to Proactive VA

Learn all about what a Proactive VA is and how to begin this journey in your VA business. If your ultimate goal in business is to have the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of whether it be the ability to take all the time off you want or have the six figure plus income, you need to become Proactive and make your business do what you want it to do. At the end of the day a business is an inanimate object and will only do what it’s instructed to do. A rock will only roll down a hill if it is pushed.

Putting Power into Action

In this workshop you'll learn what it takes to become a Proactive VA and how to do it. By implementing this POWER process, your client will then see you as a contributing partner to the viability of their business as opposed to an outsource expense.

 

Setting Sail to Financial Freedom

This workshop helps you find the financial freedom to increase your revenue without having to increase your hourly output. Setting sail to financial freedom is to work smarter, not harder.

Date/Time: (2nd Friday of each month)

Presented by: Yvonne Weld, VAinsider President Visit Website

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. Purpose: To work together to develop our processes – by providing accountability, participants are more likely to work on the task and by the end of the eighteen months (or sooner) their process manual would be completed. Requirements of Participants:
  • Meet monthly to discuss/brainstorm the topic from the previous meeting/call. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and work together to ensure that the information has been completed. These questions would need to be general in nature as we cannot have someone dominating the call with a question specific to their individual business.
  • I will then present on the topic and assign tasks to work on over the next two weeks.
  • These monthly calls are 1 hour in length and held in the conference room.
  • Participants would need to be willing to commit to putting the work together before each call.
Opportunities available:
  • Should a participant want to have an outside brainstorming call with me on specific questions or concerns with their individual business these would be available as per my scheduling availability.
  • Normal brainstorming calls would cost $50.00 but for participants the fee would be $40.00. These calls are 30-45 minutes long.

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.

 

The times are just guidelines for that day and I will stay online longer if my schedule allows for it. I hope to see you at our next VAjot night!

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.
