The virtual assistant industry is growing rapidly. Just about anyone can say they are a virtual assistant. You have a computer, internet access, and the desire to work from home. Voila! You're a virtual assistant.

Running a Business?
Yes, a virtual assistant is a business owner. Successful business owners need to have good business sense. As a business owner, you, the virtual assistant, need to understand what it takes to run a business.

Virtual Office Administration—Awesome Assistant

You may not have the time, money or office space to hire an assistant.

Small Business Mentoring—The Commonsense Entrepreneur
The Commonsense Entrepreneur mentors service related small businesses in customer-centric thinking as a primary tool to reach your goals. We analyze your business, provide recommendations you can apply immediately, and teach you the principles of customer-centric thinking.
A Mentor, Not a Coach
Rather than being a 'business coach' my intent is to be a mentor. A paid mentor, but still a mentor, not a coach. I think about the title I chose for myself as co-founder of the Northern California Artistic Achievement Awards, 'The Grassies'—Anamchara Eolais. It means one who guides others through what could be a complicated process, but is instead a simple path to useful knowledge. It comes from the ancient Gaelic word for the older priest who mentored the younger in. not only his duties, but his thinking. It's combined with a word that means more than just information, but information which has value.
Mentoring AID
This mentoring will have a specific focus: AID—Accountability in Implementation and Decisionmaking.
Making decisions can be incredibly challenging in the vacuum most small business/solopreneurs find themselves. And for every idea that sees the light of day, hundreds languish for lack of a clear plan for implementation.
Knowing that someone else is genuinely interested in your success creates a personal sense of accountability. That's the accountability I'll create: not of you to me, but of you to yourself.
We'd love to give you some free advice. Just email us a question, or a description of the issue you're facing, and we'll offer some ready-to-use suggestions and the reasons behind them. All we ask is your permission to re-print the essence of the Q&A.
Web Design—Spinhead Web Design
Spinhead Web Design offers full–service web design. From purchasing a domain name and creating your first website to developing dynamic efficiency and automation tools, we can help the small–business entrepreneur navigate the often complex processes involved in creating a practical online presence.
Whether you need to match your website to existing marketing collateral or create a whole new brand, Spinhead will work with you to ensure that your website perfectly suits your needs to showcase your products, services, and information.
Already have a website, but need additional functionality?
