Margate, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/17/2008 -- Most of a child's fondest memories happen now. It's summertime, school is out, which gives kids hours and hours of time to play and do what they enjoy doing most. It's also the perfect time to instill a love of reading. With no stress of school assignments, children can finally sit back and enjoy a good book. And one excellent choice is Zip, Burp, and Hula, with the newly released matching coloring book and paint by number book.

Zip, Burp and Hula is a wholesome children's book, which sparks the imagination, is fun to read, and works to develop reading and coloring skills. The delightful 32-page educational tale helps children understand that it is sometimes hard to be yourself; but with the help of a few wonderful friends, it can be done. It's beautifully illustrated and perfect for beginner readers at the 2nd grade level. The colorful pictures also make it the perfect bedtime story that kids will be asked to be read over and over again.

The story takes place when the main character, a Chameleon, tries to discover who he truly is. Many children will be able to relate to that same concept as they grow older and experience all the many challenges of childhood. Zip goes out on an adventure to discover himself and his purpose in life. He befriends a zippy dragonfly, a burping bullfrog, three dancing wasps, and a wise moth. The Chameleon looks to his loving friends and the adventures begin as together they search for the answers. You grow fond of the characters and children delight when Zip finally figures out a way to do what he was supposed to do and change colors. It also has a Christian theme, whereby they seek God's support in facing these challenging movements.

Author, Cindy Johnston, has written several children's books. Johnston had two books selected in the top four finalists in the Heartland Writer's Conference in 2000, with Zip, Burp, and Hula awarded second place.

Sherman Oaks, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/20/2008 -- Actress and Patient Safety Advocate, Alicia Cole will be bringing her awareness campaign to Sacramento as two important hospital infection bills are making their way through the California legislature. Senate Bill 158 sponsored by Sen. Dean Florez and SB 1058 sponsored by Sen. Elaine Alquist.

Cole, who is the survivor of a near fatal case of hospital acquired Necrotizing Fasciitis and Sepsis following a routine procedure is slated to address the Assembly Health Committee during a June 24th hearing.

The CDC estimates that approximately 100,000 patients die each year from hospital infections they receive while being treated for something else. In the State of California, the Public Health department recorded 240,000 hospital acquired infections last year at a cost of over 3.1 billion dollars to the state. This is the awareness that Cole wants to bring to light.

Cole's plight began on Aug. 15, 2006 after entering a top-rated San Francisco Valley hospital for a routine procedure. "I could never have dreamed that my two-day hospital stay would turn into two months and nearly cost me my life," says Cole. Necrotizing Fasciitis (also known as flesh-eating disease) is a bacterial infection that rapidly breaks down soft tissue and fascia surrounding the muscles. It can cause death in as little as 12 to 24 hours. In order to contract the bacteria, it needs to be introduced into the body, which can often occur through complications from surgery or infections from hospitals.

Cole now advocates nationally for better infection prevention safety standards and requiring hospitals to make public their infection and death rates. "Consumers have a right to know if there is an infection problem at their hospital. When we choose a restaurant it is not just based on reputation, but by the letter grade for cleanliness in the window. We should be able to make the same informed decisions about our healthcare."

Both SB158 and SB1058 would require public reporting of hospital acquired infection rates, as well as, screening for the 'superbug' MRSA and improved hospital cleaning practices. California currently lags behind 22 other states which have laws requiring public reporting.

Cole, who is still healing and undergoing daily hyperbaric oxygen treatments, is urging fellow survivors and family members of victims to contact their legislators and ask them to support these bills.

"We are so close to making a difference and saving lives," says Cole. "We owe it to those who did not survive to do better."

Go to http://www.aliciacole.com for more information. Alicia Cole can be contacted at mizcole2@aol.com. You can make a difference. Email Cole and she'll show you how.

Denver, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/05/2008 -- Even in so-called "boom" markets, rookie real estate agents almost always find their new careers to be harder than anticipated, but today, even experienced agents are failing in record numbers. Statistics quote figures ranging from 70% to 95% dropout rate for first year agents and it's common knowledge in the industry that only a small percentage of the licensed agents are making enough money to live on.

Why is the failure rate so high? Is it a matter of unrealistic expectations? Maybe. A lack of enthusiasm? Probably. A lack of support and training? Definitely.

What agents need is good solid training on how to competently sell real estate and Jennifer Allan's book Sell with Soul offers just that. The second edition of Sell with Soul (ISBN #978-0-9816727-0-0) will be released in early summer of 2008 and has been updated to reflect the realities of today's more challenging real estate marketplace. The book takes on the tough issues of survival in a slowing housing market and provides a blueprint for success to help new agents navigate the critical first year and beyond. Sell with Soul comes complete with checklists to help agents keep on top of listings and contracts, step-by-step guidelines for building a thriving real estate practice as well as anecdotal examples of real world real estate dilemmas and solutions to them.

Yet the book is so much more than a rookie survival guide. The author, Jennifer Allan, discusses such touchy subjects as commission discounting (she's all for it), buyer agency (don't push it), prospecting at open houses (do so with caution) and generating bidding wars (it's your duty). Practical advice is offered on everything from building a loyal client base to marketing listings to negotiating inspections and even handling pricing objections.

Allan writes regularly for Realty Times and other online newsletters, and is one of the industry's most popular bloggers. She began her writing career after 10 years as a successful real estate agent in Denver, Colorado earning top producer status in her office from 1999 to 2003, among other honors. She founded her own real estate company in 2004 and currently divides her time between her two careers of real estate sales and writing, speaking and training.

Pre-order a numbered, autographed paperback copy of Sell with Soul and receive a special edition eBook version of the book upon receipt. Just visit Allan's site at http://www.sellwithsoul.com for details and instructions. While there, sign up for one of Allan's free newsletters for tips on successfully selling real estate -- without selling your soul.

Including Being Able to Care for Sick Children

Margate, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/13/2008 -- Working parents everywhere are realizing the extra benefits of working from home including being there for their children when they are sick. In fact, Diana Ennen, president of Virtual Word Publishing was recently featured on CBS Channel 4 News in Miami, http://cbs4.com/video/?id=53473@wfor.dayport.com on a segment on working parents and handling sick children and states that one of the biggest advantages to being self employed is the ability to not send her kids to school sick.

Ennen states, "I've walked to school and seen the agony on a parent's face when they have had to drop their children off at school ill, just because they couldn't take time off from work. Not only is it sad for the parents, but also the other children in the classroom are now exposed to added germs as well. Changes need to be made."

Apparently lawmakers think it's a good idea too. Officials from 11 states are considering a bill that would make paid sick days a basic labor standard. Even Presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are involved, coming out in support of mandatory paid sick days. Also Congress may vote on the Healthy Families Act, which would require businesses with fifteen or more employees to give workers at least seven paid sick days per year.

These are changes that all should support. However, businesses don't need legislation to make a change. A simple change in company policy is all that is needed to protect the health and well being of their most valued assets, their employees and their families. If companies allowed sick days for employees when they kids were sick, we would see a dramatic drop in diseases, and also employees would be more satisfied at work.

Some might also find it beneficial to do as Ennen did and consider working from home. By staying at home, Ennen has been able to work while caring for three children including her 10- year-old daughter Amber. "My hours are my own and the flexibility is just great," said Ennen. Amber appreciates the added attention she gets and has told me that one of the greatest things about me working from home is that I'm there for her when she is sick. For her to realize that is very gratifying," added Ennen.

Ennen has been working from home since 1985 when she decided to quit her job and start her own business as a virtual assistant, writing press releases, marketing authors and their books and offering virtual assistant and PR coaching. Ennen has written several books about starting a virtual assistant business including Virtual Assistant - The Series: Become a Highly Successful Sought After VA and The Corel Word Perfect, Virtual Assistant Solution Pack.

Centennial, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/25/2007 -- Six years ago if anyone had told Karen Reddick that the growing industry she has been working hard to promote would finally receive its day in the limelight with a segment on the NBC Today Show, she wouldn't have believed it. It's a dream come true to see the industry she is passionate about get national attention. Reddick is a Virtual Assistant (VA) who helps small businesses successfully run their businesses virtually from her home office. When an NBC correspondent got wind that there was such a business, they became intrigued and decided to pursue the story. NBC flew to Reddick's home office in Centennial to film a typical day at the office. They also set up a crew at one of Reddick's client's office 850 miles away in the St. Louis area to show how easy and efficient working with a VA can be. The piece aired today

http://video.msn.com/v/us/msnbc.htm?g=fda5aec6-5250-43c2-936f-dfac1ec2033d&f=00&fg=

Reddick, owner of V-And-E Services, is a former executive assistant and originally conceived the idea for her business in October 2001 immediately following 9/11. Starting her new career was her way to put family first and be home for her then pre-teenage daughter. Reddick helps clients by working remotely and uses the latest technology to deliver creative administrative support and technical business services to busy professionals. Projects are often handled over the phone, by fax, e-mail and instant messaging.

Most attractive to her clients is perhaps the fact that Virtual Assistants are responsible for their own taxes, training, healthcare, insurance, and overhead costs that make hiring an in-house employee expensive. Reddick states, "My clients pay only for the time actually spent working on their projects. They don't pay for my coffee breaks, visits to colleagues or other things that happen in a normal office environment. This is a great benefit for them to pay on an as-needed basis."

Reddick is also the author of The A-Z Guide: The Best Ways to Work With a Virtual Assistant, which shows businesses exactly what a VA can do for them. In her A-Z Guide, Reddick starts with the letter A and highlights typical services such as administrative assistance, ad campaigns, appointment setting, auto responders; B--bookkeeping, branding, brochures, bulk mailings; C--concierge services, copywriting, contact list management and so on. It clearly helps businesses and virtual assistants see exactly what a VA can do for them and highlights tasks they might not have even considered.

"I think this industry will just continue to grow," Reddick adds. "This used to seem like a radical concept; and now hopefully with this national recognition it will allow other business owners to realize how using a Virtual Assistant can streamline their administrative tasks and save them time and money."

As proof that the industry is growing, Diana Ennen of http://www.virtualwordpublishing.com recently landed an interview in Reader's Digest, where she was able to spread the news of the Virtual Assistant Industry. The article talks about making money while working at home, stating "If you possess word processing, transcription, bookkeeping, public relations, or website design skills, you may want to try employment as a virtual assistant. Ennen is quoted as saying, "There is so much work for VAs that the field is thriving. It is absolutely booming." And Ennen believes this with all her heart.

Stop by Reddick's site at: http://www.vandeservices.com for additional information on the VA industry and her services.

About V-And-E-Services: V-And-E-Services specializes in "taking the administrative weight off the shoulders" of the small business owner and/or entrepreneur so they can concentrate on making their business grow. Visit http://www.vandeservices.com for more information. Reddick also offers a weekly newsletter entitled Grammar Tips From The Red Editor, a division of V-And-E-Services. http://www.theredpeneditor.com.

Margate, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/30/2007 -- Business opportunities are everywhere today. You can work at home doing anything from selling the latest and greatest kitchen tools to being the personal assistant virtually to authors, businesses, and anyone who needs more assistance in running their business. Most entrepreneurs look for a business that offers them not only financial security and independence, but also pride in the work they will be doing. That's one of the reasons that the Virtual Assistant Industry is growing in leads and bounds. Today, former secretaries, administrative assistants, word processors, and legal or medical transcriptionsists, are turning in the 9 to 5 to work at home. There's never been a better time to succeed.

Diana Ennen has been working at home since 1985. Ennen was among one of the pioneers in the work at home industry when starting her word processing business specializing in legal and medical transcription. In 1996 Ennen wrote her first book, Words From Home: Start, Run and Profit from a Home-Based Word Processing Business. (http://www.wordsfromhome.com) Ennen's book, which was recently updated, has enabled thousands to succeed in their own business. Ennen states, "Most just need the proper tools to succeed. Learning how to find clients who want your services as well as determining the right price to charge, can be the decisive factor in a successful business. The key to success is doing it right the first time and avoiding costly mistakes."

In the late 1990s, came the advent of the Virtual Assistant Industry. That's when word processors determined that not only could they work from home, but they would work at home globally. Ennen's second book, Virtual Assistant – The Series: Become a Highly Successful Sought After VA was born and written with another true Industry Leader Kelly Poelker. This book paved the way to being a successful VA and it also helped thousands start their business. The recent addition of their accompanying Workbook helped even more to give the virtual assistant everything they needed to get started or revamp their existing business.

Ennen provides the following tips to be successful in your own virtual assistant/word processing business:

1) Determine your rates to make a good profit and continue to modify those rates throughout the years as your skills increase and your benefits to clients grow. Today's virtual assistants make between $30.00 and $100+ an hour depending on their specialty, location, and skills. Clients are willing to pay these rates because the benefits they receive not only make them more money, but also ensure a smoother running business.
2) The planning and development stage is just as important as landing that first client or getting the next one. You need both a business plan and a marketing plan, and most importantly, you need to review these constantly to see how you can improve upon them. A well laid out plan, followed up by aggressive action steps, will ensure your success as an entrepreneur, solo-preneur, or va-preneur.
3) Integrity. To be successful today, a business owner needs to be trusted. A client needs to know that when they have work to be done, it will be done in the most professional manner possible. Clients need to know that you will be there for them when they need you. Build that confidence right from the beginning.

Another important factor in the success of a home-based business is having the proper tools. Ennen's recent book, Corel WordPerfect OfficeReady® Virtual Assistant Solution Pack (http://www.corel.com) offers not only a detailed 81 page e-book, but over 70 templates of start-up forms needed to operate a successful business. These include: a contract, marketing letters, daily operational procedure forms, sample brochures, etc. Everything one needs to get started and keep successful is included.

So if you're ready to take the plunge and really take your business to the next level, or finally take the road home and work from home, stop by Virtual Word Publishing today. http://www.virtualwordpublishing.com and find out how you can start your own business.

Company Helps Moms Keep the Fun in Fall

Apex, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/30/2006 -- GO MOM !NC shares four ways to help Moms make this Fall unforgettable. "As families settle into the routines of the new school year, it's easy to lose sight of having weekends to enjoy," states Molly Gold, Founder of GO MOM !NC. "My role as a Family Scheduling Expert helps Moms focus on steps they can take to protect precious weekend time together with their families, and to enjoy the highlights of the season."

Looking to make Fall a fantastic array of fun? Here are some tips to help:

· Plan – If we said it once, we will say it a thousand times…the best way to make way for fun in your weekend is to plan for it! Use family-oriented planning tools, such as the new GO MOM!® Wall Organizer, to merge all family member schedules into one place. Map your time and use this tool as your compass to show you when you can adjust commitments to claim time for Fall. If activity schedules dominate for months on end, hold a family meeting now to decide the best weekend to make family come first. Notify coaches and teachers alike that for that weekend, all family members are unavailable. When you communicate this at the beginning of the season, you are respecting fellow teammates and coaches or activity leaders as they can also plan ahead.
· Clean – Forget the notion that it's only meant for Spring. The change of seasons brings a host of both outdoor and indoor tasks that when left unchecked, can drag on forever. Decide now if you work best claiming one weekend for a full assault on your list or if you'd prefer protecting a few hours each weekend to tackle one task at a time. Consult the Mr. Clean family of products to find a great selection of time-saving cleaning tools, such as the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Extra Power for everything from cleaning the grout in your tile to scrubbing down plastic patio furniture before placing it in winter storage. Assemble your project supplies in advance to maximize your time and accomplish your chores in the time allotted. Enlist the age appropriate help of all family members, providing them with their own supplies when possible to allow them to accomplish their task independently. And remember, when kids are involved, the more fun the better.
· Protect – Who doesn't remember the fun of Fire Safety Week at school, when the firemen visit and if you're lucky, you get to sit in the cab and wear their hats? Fall is a great time to take inventory of your safety measures and update where you can. We all are reminded to replace our smoke detector batteries with the time change each year, but who thinks to clean them when unassembled. Also, it's important to review emergency plans with family members, including holding a mock fire drill and talking through natural or unnatural evacuation plans that need to be followed. And while updating all those emergency contact forms at school, do the same with the Emergency Documents box, including any evacuation plans outlined. Visit www.AmericanRedCross.com for the most complete resources for Emergency Preparedness. Complete supply lists and document preparation procedures to suit personal needs are provided.
· Play – From the first of September through the last day of October, our wonderful country is full of Fall celebrations. Street festivals abound, highlighting the best crafters every region has to offer. And the fruits of the harvest are just waiting to be enjoyed, including apple harvests and pumpkin patches. Check local Convention and Visitors Bureau websites or newspapers for listings of regional events and cross reference these calendars with the family planner to see when the family can enjoy the best the season has to offer. Families with younger children can expand on units of study specific to Fall and work weekend activities into their schedule, thus making the school and home experience a wonderful partnership of hands on learning. For the older set, there is nothing like the fun of Homecoming at the local high school to remind us all of how fast our children grow and the blessing parenthood provides. Participate in booster clubs that support children's activities this fall. Get a window into your teenager's world while enjoying the memories of your own high school years.

To enjoy the best the season has to offer, prepare yourself with all the tools that GO MOM !NC has to offer. GO MOM !NC is based in Apex, NC and promotes the use of the GO MOM!® product line which is based on unique scheduling solutions for everything family. GO MOM !NC helps mothers make positive mothering a daily reality within the structure GO MOM!® Schedule. Organize. Grow.®

Founder Molly Gold is a 40-year-old mother of three and the creator of the GO MOM!® product line, which is produced via license partnership with Mead Westvaco Consumer and Office Products and sold at major retailers nationwide, including Target, Staples, and Office Max. Gold is known for her keen insights into Family Scheduling and has been featured both in print and on air media alike.

With the rise in popularity for becoming a successful virtual assistant, colleges are recognizing the unique value of adding this type of training to their curriculum.

The textbooks of choice for these college training courses are two highly popular books specializing in VA training: Virtual Assistant – The Series: Become a Highly Sought After VA and Virtual Assistant – The Series: Workbook Edition, written by Diana Ennen and Kelly Poelker (Another 8 Hours Publishing). Combined, these books offer a step-by-step approach on how to start a VA business.

With a newly published Workbook Edition, a new dimension is added, allowing students to proceed step by step through the book. The workbook is used with the manual to help students set up their business along the way.

"The students find the workbook invaluable," says Randi Tucker Hart, instructor at Raymond Walters College at the University of Cincinnati. "The content flows right along with the textbook, making it comprehensive, clear and easy to complete the process." And several students have said the Business Disaster Plan section alone is worth the price of the Virtual Assistant –The Series bundle which includes the manual and the workbook.

For virtual assistants who have the manual, they find the workbook is an added touch that allows for documenting their business startup as they read through the instruction of the main manual. Together they are a must for the seasoned virtual assistants who want to take their businesses to the next level.

This Is One book You Don’t Want to Miss

Margate, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/19/2006 -- Results of book reviews are pouring in and it's very clear the medical fiction thriller Sledgehammer is a smash hit and a five-star winner. Just read some of the adjectives used in describing this book: "outstanding, must read, riveting, gut wrenching, chilling."

Here are just some of the reviews with more found on Reye's site.

Midwest Book Review states, "This is a gut wrenching medical thriller that centers on how relatively easy the spread of a bio-weapon can occur in this country…. Paulo J. Reyes provides a SLEDGEHAMMER to a system that is set up to insure mass failure when (not if) the crisis happens."

Sledgehammer gets a five star rating from Lightwood Publishing Review, which writes: "Today's real threat of a terrorist attack is dramatically illustrated in a riveting fictional account…Readers will gasp learning how inadequately prepared we are for this event today and how we can prepare."

Louise Riveiro-Mitchell, author of Autumn Sky and Dark Skies of Autumn, also was impressed by the storyline. "The story that at one time I would think of as a wonderful fiction theory, now after the events of 9/11, are not only very real but completely frightening…An interesting and frightening read and does make one think."

And Sledgehammer racks up another five-stars from scientist Cecilia Fredricks. She writes: "It has been a long time since I have read a book that I simply could not put down. I am a scientist by profession so I was able to really relate to the whole bioterrorism/Virus research plot of the book…It is well written and keeps you on the edge of your seat. This book is fiction, but could this really happen? Scary!"

"This was an outstanding book," says Melody Spier, president and owner of Ballyhoo Virtual Services. "It has come at a time when we all need to stop and think about the real possibility of a bioterrorist attack and how our government would react if such an outbreak happened…This is a must read for everyone."

So what's this book that everyone is talking about? Sledgehammer, written by Dr. Paulo J. Reyes, focuses on a terrorist who arrives in a Los Angeles hospital's Emergency Room with smallpox symptoms. An ER physician suspects a more lethal form of smallpox, called Sledgehammer. The question becomes can this ER doctor convince the hospital administration and the public health care system about the presence of the deadly disease and the need to vaccinate the American public before it's too late.

The story is brought vividly to life by Dr. Reyes who has 25 years in medicine and internal medicine and is a First Responder for the busiest cities in California, specifically in terrorist training.

To order this five- star winner stop by http://www.pauloreyes.com or Amazon. You won't be able to put it down. Dr. Reyes is also available for media interviews by emailing publicist Diana Ennen at diana@virtualwordpublishing.com.

Vancouver, BC, Canada -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/16/2006 -- For those of you who are still in the dark, a Virtual Assistant, or VA, is an executive level, administrative professional who works from his/her own office to support clients using some of the latest available technology. The Internet has brought many skilled professionals out of the corporate environment and back into their homes, enabling them to create a better work-life balance, while still performing in the roles they love. The VA is one such professional. Working from their home-based offices and making use of the Internet, telephone, fax and email, VAs are able to offer small and medium-sized businesses a quality of administrative support, previously only available to the corporate giants, in a cost-effective manner.

A Virtual Assistant's service offering may vary, but you are guaranteed to find one out there who is able to perform the exact functions your business needs. You will find that hiring a VA will REVOLUTIONIZE your business.

1. A VA brings invaluable work experience and training to the table. You may even find that they will teach you a trick or two. Be it software, hardware or grammar, you can be sure that your VA knows his/her stuff!
2. Because VAs run a business themselves, they have a unique understanding of what your needs as a small business owner are. They will be able to assist and advise you on matters pertaining to Marketing, Branding, Web Design and e-Commerce. What avenues of advancement have you not yet explored with your business? Are you sure that you have all your bases covered? Your VA can help.
3. Get organized. If you attend conferences and AGMs I'll bet you have a ton of business cards cluttering up your desk. Let your VA scan and enter them into a database for you. Future mail campaigns will be a breeze with a ready-made contact list all neatly stored on a CD.
4. Is there a special project boiling over on the back-burner that you've been wanting to do? Your VA can help with research, planning and coordination, leaving you free to continue your focus on your core-business function.
5. If you're too busy to remember important dates, anniversaries and meetings, your VA, with a tailored reminder service, can assist. From ordering flowers for your mother, to sending a thank you note to a client and even arranging gift baskets for investor, they aim to please.
6. Conceptualizing marketing items can be agonizing if you don't have the know-how, equipment or creative flair. Most VAs have a wide range of software packages at their finger-tips, as well as experience in creating flyers, brochures and business cards for their own company's. Put your ideas to your VA, they will dazzle you with the results.
7. Planning a much-needed break with your family? Let your VA take care of the details; flights, car hire, accommodation, even a list of "must-see" places of interest. Your VA can handle it all, down to the very last detail.
8. If you're on the road a lot, chances are your cell-phone is often out of signal range and there is no one in your office to take a message should that all-important client call. With the call answering service provided by many VAs, you can divert your calls and rest assured that your client will receive the personal touch rather than dealing with an annoying automated answering device. Your messages will be passed on to you in order of importance and you won't need to sort through lengthy messages on voicemail.
9. Conferences and networking functions can take a lot out of a small business owner. It is imperative that you attend and make a dazzling show of it, but in order to do so, you have to neglect existing clients. This will no longer be a problem with a VA. They can handle all your conferencing arrangements; table-hire, banner design and creation, even gift bags for client samples. It's that easy!
10. If you have a lot of correspondence, and you're a bit of a "keyboard klutz", your VA can help. Many VAs offer a fully digitized transcription service. Simply record your memos/letters onto your computer and email them to your VA, s/he will have it neatly typed and ready for mailing in no time! Other VAs may provide dictated typing as a service, so that urgent e-mail is just a phone-call away.

Now that you've heard all that a VA can do, where can you find one? That's easy. VANetworking at http://www.vanetworking.com is an invaluable resource when looking to partner with a VA. With over 2,300 professional VA members you are certain to find exactly the service you are looking for. According to Tawnya Sutherland, founder of VAN, and author of the Virtual Assistant Start-Up System states, "Our forum is leading the way in revolutionizing the VA Industry by offering expert advice to VAs on how to be the best VA they can be. That's why partnering with one of our VAs can help your business grow and operate on a more proficient level."

And Diana Ennen, president of Virtual Word Publishing, http://www.virtualwordpublishing.com and Publicist for the site states, "Our team of VAs are varied with different skill sets and different visions for their business. That's why teaming up with a VAN VA can give your business all the support it needs."

So if you're looking for a Virtual Assistant or want to start a virtual assistant business, now is the time to stop by VANetworking and see everything they have to offer.

"Our goal with this book is to not only show how to start your own word processing business at home, but also how to do a brilliant job at it," says Ennen. "You will take pride in the fact that your business will be a cut above the others. Anyone can run a home-based word processing business. What we want to show you is how to operate the best word processing business."

Words from Home covers both word processing and virtual assisting and offers an opportunity to work with top professionals, CEOs, lawyers, doctors, authors, businesses, and students. Virtual Assistants or VAs as they're called are highly skilled professionals who provide extensive marketing solutions, creative and innovative advertising campaigns, administrative support, proofing and editing and other specialized services for entrepreneurs, small businesses, authors and others who want to bring their business to a new level or market their books for greater value.

Topics in the book include tips on writing resumes, manuscripts, advertising and marketing; determining your rates; business operations; setting up a website; working with clients and on the internet; tips from the pros on what works and doesn't work; and balancing family and business.

"Our book contains a lot of personal and hard-knocks trial and error experiences," says Ennen. "What better way to learn how to start a business than to obtain first-hand knowledge from someone who has been there and succeeded." In addition there are interviews with more than 40 word processors and profiles on each of them.
