Reader's Digest Explores the Thriving Virtual Assistant Industry

Margate, FL, (April, 2007) Diana Ennen knows how to make a business successful in
today's marketplace. Working from home since 1985, the entrepreneur has been highly
successful in helping others reach their business goals for over two decades.
Ennen's most recent accomplishment was landing an interview in Reader's Digest,
where she was able to spread the news of the Virtual Assistant Industry, which she
is so passionate about. The article talks about making money while working at home,
stating "If you possess word processing, transcription, bookkeeping, public
relations, or website design skills, you may want to try employment as a virtual
assistant. Ennen is quoted as saying, "There is so much work for VAs that the field
is thriving. It is absolutely booming." And Ennen believes this with all her
heart.

The article focuses on work that can be done on a part-time basis. Ennen contends
that while most start their businesses on a full-time basis, many have been very
successful working part-time, before growing their business into successful
enterprises. According to Ennen, "The important thing is to use your own skills and
expertise to build your business. Starting a virtual assistant business isn't a get
rich quick scheme. It takes time and talent, but those who succeed can't imagine
doing anything else. And clients today are grateful to have talented and highly
skilled personal assistance for all their business needs. A VA business is not one
that can be started overnight, but it is a business that has tremendous potential."

Ennen has been helping entrepreneurs start their businesses since writing her first
book back in 1996, Words From Home: Start, Run and Profit from a Home-based Word
Processing Business, which she updates on a regular basis. Also, Ennen and
co-author Kelly Poelker have recently completed the Virtual Assistant-The Series:
Workbook Edition that accompanies their main book Virtual Assistant - The Series:
Become a Highly Successful, Sought After VA, which is considered the Bible of the VA
Industry. With these books, aspiring readers are provided with priceless tools on
everything from choosing the right VA business and specialty, to advertising and
promoting your business, to daily operational procedures. Other books by Ennen
include the WordPerfect OfficeReady Virtual Assistant Solution Pack, which comes
complete with a 81 page ebook and over 70 templates on starting a VA business.
Finally, Ennen has published the nail-biting piece of fiction, Sledgehammer and
children's book, Zip, Burp and Hula, available in her online bookstore at Virtual
Word Publishing.

Ennen was also recently honored with a nomination for the Thomas Leonard Virtual
Assistant of Distinction Award, which will be announced at the International Virtual
Assistants Day on May 18, 2007. Ennen states, "To be nominated for this by my peers
is priceless. I feel so honored to be among so many talented and deserving VAs
nominated. "
