Awesome! They are the best of the best. God Bless them One and All!
Thanks for the tip on how to hire a virtual assistant.
Happy 4th.
You would be amazed at the talent out there looking for work. It doesn't have to be a seasoned virtual assistant, just somebody that is smart and wants to help you. There is an unbelievable pool of good people without jobs right now and my next person I hire will be a VET or spouse of a VET who values my own core beliefs. I'm sure that they would be willing to work from home and many of them are moms who need extra income while their husbands are deployed.
God bless America. The fireworks at our local high school was amazing and I was sad to hear that it may be cancelled next year due to lack of money. I get emotional when they sing songs about our wonderful country.
Good luck, let's us know if you hire a VET.
