I know I have experienced countless successes during my lifetime. One’s life brings many milestones and each is welcomed as a success plus the achievements in between!

The biggest learning curve was at the age of 25, I was asked to implement a Quality Management System into a Printing company. I knew nothing about QA, nothing about business and nothing about printing but I thought, ‘What the heck, what have I got to lose?’…

Here is a typical day I would experience as the owner and founder of Interim Business Solutions which offers virtual assistance and social media support services. My business is operated from my home office in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne but services business owners from all over.

The alarm starts at an ungodly hour but not for me! However, it has been the order of the day for many years now and being the morning person I am. I jump out of bed, eager to start the new day.

When you hear the term “Summer Camp”, nostalgic thoughts of campfires, canoe trips and camp fire sing-alongs might come to mind!

Well, our friends at VAClassroom with re-invented the concept with their new Summer Skill Camp designed to equip you with high-demand skills that businesses are seeking today. Sorry, no campfires, just top-notch, virtual skill-based webinars certain to give your business a much needed boost heading into the last half of 2011.

I was approached some weeks ago now and asked if I’d be interested in joining a number of prominent Australian Virtual Assistants to form a Steering Committee. Firstly, I was flattered to be considered amongst the line up of virtual assistants who were listed on this email. Secondly, the Steering Committee was in relation to forming the foundations of the ‘Alliance for Virtual Businesses (A4VB) – Australian Chapter’ and how wonderful and exciting for the industry here in Australia.

I must admit, I thoroughly enjoy working online. I’m not addicted because I do equally enjoy a ‘digital-detox’ but I do find it fulfilling to assist clients where ever possible and socialise within my online business networks. I never thought I would enjoy a career in business administration considering I’m a four year trained Primary School teacher but I do, and I have a real passion for it once more.
