Industry: Internet & Online
Press Release Summary: Virtual Assistance is defined and explained according to area businesswoman.
Press Release Body: They say, "if you want a job done well, do it yourself." But in this era of the "Four-Hour Work Week" that saying has morphed to, "if you want a job done well, hire a virtual assistant."
Enter Larissa Parks, a Virtual Assistant from Waldorf, Maryland. Larissa left her executive and administrative assistant life after 15 years, and dove into training - virtually - at AssistU. She has been able to take the experience of "running the show" for other businesses, and now manages her own business while assisting others in the day-to-day needs of her clients.
So, what exactly is Virtual Assistance, anyway? Well, looking at it from a business owner's perspective, it is the ability to have the "busy" work taken from you and taken care of, without the need to micromanage the job every step of the way. A Virtual Assistant can remove your anxiety over the little things that take time out of your day, but don't generate income so that you can do just that - make more money! A Virtual Assistant doesn't just take orders from you like the waitress at the cafe. She also helps you manage your time, consults with you on the important aspects of her assisting you. She maintains a relationship with you to truly become your right-hand person, and keeps you on track to improve your business.
Larissa, the owner of Seven Winds Virtual Assistance, LLC loves her budding business. She is now ready to take on even more fabulous clients. While Larissa sees her business growing, her ideal client is someone who believes in long-term collaborations. Ideally, she will work with clients who are seeking to partner with her for 20 or more hours per month.
Right now she is training to be able to provide shopping cart services to her clients. She knows that improving and adding to her skills will add to the value of working with her for her clients. Working with interesting people and providing valuable support really jazzes Larissa. You can hear it in her voice when she talks about getting "lost in her work" for her clients. She really values the work she does and the relationships she has built with her clients.
While working from home is a dream career for Larissa, it's the vision of service, travel, and fulfillment that she looks forward to most. Her dreams include horseback riding in the afternoon, volunteering for the Humane Society, travelling, and learning about other cultures, traditions and new languages. She is especially fascinated by Asian cultures, along with many different cultures, and looks forward to visiting countries that will allow her to experience the culture first-hand. As some of her colleagues who graduated from AssistU have done, she dreams about spending part of her year here in the US, and part of it in another country - wherever that may be - working, virtually for her fabulous clients!
