Greetings!,
 Happy holidays! All of us at Virtually With You Success Team want to wish you and your family the most heart-warming holiday season.
For the first time EVER, I've managed to have a stress-free month preparing for our holiday. What has made the difference for me is learning to scale back on the non-essentials and commercialism and pay more attention to the quality moments with family and friends.
This past weekend, I went to see a Christmas play, with my family, at the MetroStage in Olde Town Alexandria featuring A Broadway Christmas Carol. This play was a cross between the classic Dickens tale and hilarious song parodies of popular Broadway show tunes. The talent was amazing and it was an afternoon filled with laughter and memory-making moments. It doesn't get any better than that!
My wish for you this holiday season is that you'll take time out of this busy (and sometimes chaotic) season and enjoy what matters most to you.
Blessings,
Karen and the VWY Success Team

| Three ways to know when you're ready to hire a virtual assistant
If you've been thinking about hiring a virtual assistant but you're not sure when that "right" time is. Let me help you understand what that optimal right time is.
The first indication is that you're not earning the income you desire because you have so much administrative work absorbing all your time. You know intuitively that if someone else were handling the admin stuff, you could better spend your time on products and services that are directly related to producing revenue and increasing your bottom-line.
When you have reached this realization, the second indication is that you are so committed to working with a VA that you have that "I can't live without this person" commitment. Even if your income dips a bit, your first thought is not "I have to let my VA go in order to cut back on expenses." No, to the contrary, just the opposite is true. Your only thought is "I'll do whatever I have to - cut out those other expenses - but I'm not getting rid of my VA. My business can't possibly grow if I take back those tasks." You see your VA as an investment to your business rather than an expense.
The third indication, and the one that makes it the most optimal final decision, is that you are sure you can easily afford this investment.
If you've been considering adding a VA to your team, and you fit this criteria above, you're ready to work with our team. We've been waiting for a client just like you!
