Summer is a great time to stretch your legs and get outside for some awesome fun in the sun. It’s also a great time to stretch your mind and enhance your business! I love VA Classroom and this summer they’re making it easier than for aspiring VAs to learn the ropes and veteran VAs to hone their skills for a more profitable year.

So let’s do BOTH!!

This year, check out VAClassroom’s Summer Skill Camp 2010 – an amazing opportunity for you to build ten new skills and ultimately ten new income-building opportunities for your virtual business.

When I was away on that homeschooling/business retreat in Destin, FL I met many aspiring virtual assistants including my new best friend Mimi of Your Virtual Services. We were roommates and talked a lot (I’m sure you can tell I’m the quiet type — not!) and during one of our marathon conversations Mimi told me about an interesting VA niche called “Virtual Event Specialist.”
