A Virtual Assistant (VA) contact of mine, Candy Beauchamp – who I met through my online networking at VAnetworking – runs a very successful VA business, and has just launched her latest venture >>>>

2 Minutes with a VA

People were always asking her for advice (I know I did :-) )and being so busy, she found it hard to answer everyone. Always wanting to help others, and as smart and savvy as she is; she comes up with another great business idea.  A Video Blog that helps other VAs by giving two minutes of her time.

Kudos to you Candy!  It’s always great to see others share their success and knowledge to new people (and old) in any industry.

So if any of you are thinking you have some questions about being a virtual assistant – Take 2 Minutes with Candy – I’m certain she’ll be able to help you out!

Here’s how you can set this up…
