Have you considered…GOING GLOBAL?

I’ve always believed in lifetime learning, especially since I started my business. Keeping up with technology alone requires continual research and information. One of the things I’ve always wondered was whether or not I could capture any ‘international’ business, outside of the business that comes to me naturally through normal marketing and networking channels.

If I could obtain international business, how would that look, what would I need to know, and would it be right for my particular business?

That’s what made me curious when I happened to connect with savvy VA, Carolyn Moncel who took her home-based Virtual Assistance practice from the comfort of her Chicago home to Paris, France, and beyond.

What I learned from having interviewed Carolyn made me realize that the timing was right to consider taking a closer look at what a global marketing initiative would or could do to increase my success.

NOW YOU CAN, TOO! If you’ve ever wondered if taking your business global was right for your practice, you will be interested in my newest product, Going Global! Finding and Working With International Clients In Your Virtual Assistance Practice.

This system includes my interview with Carolyn, a CD of the interview, and a 35 page booklet pulling all the information together about why this might be the BEST time for you to consider this new market share for your business.

This product provides in-depth information, resources and initiatives to help you decide if this potential business is the right fit for your Virtual Assistance practice. We’ll help you learn:

Firsthand details from a successful VA who took her business from the U.S. to Europe Why now is the best time to consider working globally Cultural considerations to establish international business  Resources to help you find ‘English-speaking’ opportunities in foreign lands What characteristics, including speaking a second language achieve best results Networking initiatives to help you identify good markets for VA services Areas where you may find a similar work ethic to those shared by successful businesspeople in the U.S. What organizations will help get you in front of potential clients Choosing areas of the world based on their time zones as an advantageous option to potential prospects How to market to these areas Advantages and disadvantages of working internationally And more!

You’ve probably always wondered whether or not you could grow your business internationally; now you’ll have the tools and resources available to you to find out about capturing business in this new and exciting way.

Have you been downsized, laid off, or just tired of the 9-5?
Need extra income?
Need more time at home to care for children or aging parents?

I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve been contacted by phone or email asking me how to get started in a Virtual Assistance practice. Or how many calls and emails I get from people simply looking for work.

The economy is hard everywhere, and people are looking for options. Having your own small or home-based business provides a great opportunity for many people to go from being a corporate employee to becoming an entrepreneur.

Second Edition of Entrepreneurial Freedom: How to Start and Grow a Profitable Virtual Assistance Practice is an in-depth, step-by-step look at how you can transform your life and build the business of your dreams.

Here’s what people have said about our book:

The best book for any new VA
By Lanel of Taylored Office Solutions
I've been a virtual assistant for a while but when I learned of this book I purchased it. Wow, was I glad I did. The information in here is invaluable. In fact, I've had to repurchase the book a couple of times because I keep giving it away. (I think I've purchased three copies so far.) I HIGHLY recommend this book to any new or veteran VA or small business owner. The book gives you so much information. Lauren and Jeannine really did their homework here. Some books are borrowers, this one is a definite purchase. You'll refer back to this book often. They also offer an workbook to go with it -- great purchase as well. [...].

THE book for Virtual Assistants
By C. Beauchamp - OffAssist
As a veteran of the Virtual Assistance (VA) industry, I can absolutely say that this is THE book for VAs. I've read most of them and while they touch on many important things, the authors have managed to really capture all of the things you need to know - it doesn't matter if you are brand-spanking new or looking for a "boost" to get you moving again. If you only read one business book this year, THIS should be the book you read -- and have a highlighter handy!

Must Have Book
By Cherie Smith – Virtual Assistant
I wanted to start my own virtual assistance business but didn't know where to start. This book was the best investment I could have made. It is an easy read and walks you through step-by-step with ease. While reading the book, it boosted my confidence level by adding quotes from other virtual assistants who have successful businesses. Have a highlighter in your hand because there is some excellent advice from start to finish. After reading this book, I was able to finish my website, came up with a great name and tagline, and have the confidence to move forward with my business. If you are looking to start a business, this book is for you!!

More reviews for Entrepreneurial Freedom:

Great for new or established Virtual Assistants
By Nora Rubinoff – Virtual Assistant
Entrepreneurial Freedom, published in 2006 by former IVAA President Jeannine Clontz and Lauren Hidden of The Hidden Helper LLC, is a great book for anyone interested in beginning a virtual assisting career or growing their VA practice.

This guide is small in size but packed with information. Clontz and Hidden begin with a self evaluation section to help readers decide if they have what it takes to be a virtual assistant and small business owner. The guide also goes into detail on business planning, branding, marketing, growing your business and more.

Entrepreneurial Freedom contains an entire chapter on finding, and more importantly, keeping clients. The book discusses tough issues like how to say no to a potential client and how to fire a client.

Of particular interest is the chapter on Ethics. Clontz, an IVAA EthicsCheck(tm) Virtual Assistant, outlines her 3 standard questions for helping anyone make an ethical decision in any situation.

This book contains references and lists pointing you to trusted resources for almost any need for your VA business. While it's small in size (only 166 pages including index), Entrepreneurial Freedom is a trusted resource for any new or established Virtual Assistant's bookshelf.

A MUST-HAVE BOOK for Virtual Assistants!
By Dona M. Pearce
As a new virtual assistant, one could easily be overwhelmed when trying to find information about the VA business on the 'web. Entrepreneurial Freedom presents all of the must-have information a new VA needs, and does so in a frank and factual manner. I love WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) information, and this book is jam-packed with just that. It's down-to-earth info that every VA needs, and you will race through the book absorbing all of the terrific information you've been seeking. It's ALL here, in one place, and it answers your questions honestly and completely. There are quotes from twenty successful virtual assistants sprinkled throughout the book, and this information drives home the fact that this is truly an industry that takes hard work, but that can be very rewarding.
