I am a member of VAnetworking.com based in Canada and their founder, Tawnya Sutherland, has issued the following press release in the last few days. She has asked all members of VAnetworking to circulate it as widely as possible in their own areas to achieve global coverage. So this is where my efforts start…….

Summary: VAnetworking.com receives mention in Entrepreneur Magazine

(VANCOUVER, BC) March 2, 2008 ? In recent years, telling someone you were a Virtual Assistant (VA) would get no response besides a blank stare and polite nod. That?s now beginning to change as Virtual Assistants have been enjoying some (much deserved and long overdue) time in the media spotlight. This is thanks, in part, to thousands of these independent administrative professionals working tirelessly to bring their industry mainstream and their cumulative efforts are finally starting to pay off. Most recently, the world?s largest Virtual Assistant organization, VAnetworking.com, has been mentioned in a special issue of Entrepreneur magazine, called StartUps Spring 2008, which is on newsstands until mid-May. Not only is this media attention great exposure for those working as ?VAs?, but it?s especially great news for small business owners that are finally discovering their administrative headaches can be cured - virtually.

Tawnya Sutherland, a pioneer of the VA industry and founder of VAnetworking, is thrilled that the media is finally picking up on the massive interest surrounding the industry. ?Each time a story about virtual assistance reaches the press, another business owner learns their administrative burdens can be outsourced without incurring the expense of a full time employee. These stories also tug at the heart strings of working mothers longing to be at home with their children,? says Sutherland. ?Each time a story is published, I get dozens of emails from working mothers having been awakened by the thought that they too can support their families with their admin skills, while being at home to care for them.?

Thousands of new entrepreneurs are desperately trying to build their own business, but stumbling along the way because of numerous hurdles. Probably hurdles they did not anticipate.
