By the time you've reached that point, you needed help ages ago. If you stop and consider that for a second, you'll probably find that it's true for you!

Imagine what it would be like if you only had to deal with the things which truly needed your attention. Think, for just a second, how it would free up your time to have the rest magically taken care of. Now, picture what your life would be like if you gave away a third or more of the work you now do. You'd have time for your family and friends. You'd have time to strategize and plan for the future growth of your business. You'd be more balanced. You'd have a life!

Now, imagine that there's a person out there in the world who has all the skills to handle the work you want to give away. She's communicative, witty, talented, and she climbs into your business — learning you, your customers, your life, in a way which is astounding to you. She handles your work and your life and before you know it, you can't remember what you did before you had such a great partner for success.

What would having such a person in your life be worth to you?

And what would you think if you were told that this person can do all of this — becoming really a partner for your success, without ever needing to step foot in your office or meeting you, face to face. That she could work remotely as efficiently and effectively as someone could sitting at a desk twenty feet away from you. Pretty incredible, huh?

Well, it's all true.

Here at Assist U, we train already highly skilled personal, executive and administrative assistants to work virtually.

We'd heard, time and time again, that small and home-based business owners and workers very much need support, but they most often don't have the space, equipment or inclination to have an employee. They may have tried a secretarial or typing service, but found their services quite limited in scale and scope. We realized that what these busy people ideally needed and couldn't find was a way to be supported — in fact have someone capable of really being a partner for their success — without that person needing to be physically present. What they needed was a Virtual Assistant .

So, we set about learning what such a person would need to know in addition to the skills used in corporate America, in order to work virtually. Assist U President, Stacy Brice, a highly skilled and successful VA in her own right, created a comprehensive program for people wanting to enter into this new and exciting profession.

For more than five years, our belief has been that while today the question is "What is a VA?" in the future the question will be, "Who is your VA?" (sm) As we march toward that future, our mission is to train the best Virtual Assistants in the world, and to make it easy for you to find one to work — and you'll be able to do that here, in The Registry.

This part of our web site is for you -- to let you know the great things that are in store for you when you work with a VA. Won't you take a look around? And remember, this is only half the site -- be sure to visit the part we've designed for the people who want to work with you!
