Press Release Author: Sally Kuhlman and Yvonne Weld
Industry: Small Business
Press Release Summary: Co-Authors of book able to meet in person after technology allows them to collaborate virtually without ever meeting
Press Release Body: Virtual co-authors will finally get to meet face to face in May at the Forum of Virtual Assistance Conference in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Sally Kuhlman, owner of Virtual Simplicity and Yvonne Weld, owner of AbleVA have never met in person yet they have co-authored a book together. Kuhlman lives in the US in California and Weld lives in Ontario, Canada.
Thanks to modern technology they spend more time communicating with each other than they do with their next door neighbors.
Kuhlman and Weld "virtually" met each other in 2006 through the VA Revolution - a private online networking/mentoring group for Virtual Assistants.
They communicate with each other on a daily basis via Skype's Instant Messenger program. The call themselves: "accountability partners". As "accountability partners" they share their goals with each other in addition to sharing their yearly, weekly and daily plans and hold each other accountable to those tasks they set out to do each day.
Both found success fast and had to learn how to balance work and family life while running a business out of their homes. They decided to combine their knowledge and experience to write the book, Managing Your Thriving Business for Success. The book has already seen much success since its release in November of 2007.
Kuhlman and Weld plan to celebrate with a toast to success and virtual colleagues that become real friends when they meet in Toronto in May.
