Give Credit Where Credit Is Due

Can you believe 2009 is half way complete? It's been an amazing and awesome year for me. Finally stepping out of my comfort zone has been the biggest step. When I say awesome I don't even mean profitable financially but more inspirational. How you may ask?

Two and a half years ago I completed my mentoring program with Diane Hess. She was the one that took me by the hand and introduced all the different possibilties there are for a VA to do. I must say it took her quite some time to come out of my shell. In 2009 is when it happened. With a few extra pushes from her in became a reality.

In January I also started listening to many podcasts. For me learning through audio works best. It's one of those things I can literally do on the go. Some of the podcasts I download and learn from every week are Darlene Victoria, Denise Griffitts, Melody Campbell, Kelly McCausey, Rick Cooper, Phil & Jason Montaro and Scott Fox. I could name a ton more but those are favorite at this time.

In March I started my own podcast series, Software Savvy Sub, www.softwaresavvysub.info/wordpress Also being really involved in forums and blogging became a high priority. Because I stayed consistant with it two of the forums brought me on as leaders. Virtual Assistant Forums asked me to create a subcontractors group and Find Virtual branded me as a a member of the Leader Board. Wisconsin Virtual Assistant Network gave me the opportunity to be their blog moderator.

So as you see the majority of the things I accomplished so far in 2009 aren't profitable. They're fulfilling and priceless...............
