When I first started my Virtual Assistant business I thought I was pretty savvy and well informed of what technology and the internet had to offer. Wow was I surprised to know that I really didn’t know anything!

Every day I am hearing of a new and easier way to provide a service for my clients. How do I accomplish this? It is easy, I stay informed. I belong to association forums such as VANA, CVAN and the REV where I am continually learning and reading of new and interesting technologies that are available to make life easier. I research and ask questions and I am always on the lookout for ways to enhance my services.

Finally, I am never afraid to ask for help. If I can’t figure something out or if I am not 100% sure how to do something I can ask many of my friends and associates and I guarantee one of them has a solution for me. It is in keeping with these simple steps that I am able to maintain my thriving business.

So what can you be doing to keep yourself informed and on the “cutting edge” of your industry?
