This was full of useful information, great tips and ideas to get you thinking. Well worth the price of the book. Very satisfied with this ebook purchase and the knowledge I came away with.

Great book for anyone who is starting out as a VA. It was a quick and easy read and I agreed with a lot of the recommendations. Having been a VA myself already for two years now, I was still able to get something out of this book. It is definitely more geared toward the new VA, though.

Really great lead in to a career as a Virtual Assistant, and yes, I used capital letters on purpose! Lisa Morosky does a fantastic job at keeping the writing crisp and concepts easy to grasp. The only caveat is this book is geared mostly towards operating your own business versus working for a company or organization as an "employee", which in my book is a plus not a detractor. A must read for anyone thinking about or starting out as a Virtual Assistant.

This little e-book on starting and running an online business is chock-full of great tips, suggestions, and links. I've had a freelance business for several years, yet I picked up several great ideas that I will implement. The book is simple, easy to read, full of common sense and good ideas.

An excellent primer. Lisa lays everything out in a clear easy to digest action plan. While not everything she writes about might pertain to you and your goals, her core process is essential.
