The Virtual Assistant Spa & Business Building Retreat

May 27, 2008

Calling All Virtual Assistants Who Need a Business Boost & A Totally Relaxing Spa Retreat Weekend With Erin Blaskie, The VA Coach, and Ten Other Brilliant Virtual Assistants

On September 19, 20 and 21 of 2008, ten lucky virtual assistants will get to spend the weekend with Erin Blaskie, The VA Coach, and ten other participants to mastermind, relax at the spa and build great things for their businesses.

We’re going to cover topics such as:

Enhancing our websites for maximum appeal and sales conversion
Turning our businesses into six-figure businesses
Building a multi-VA practice
Creating passive revenue streams
Organizing your business to run without you
Client management and long-term satisfaction from your clients
Partnerships that will help increase your business portfolio
And SO much more…

We’re also going to do website and business hotseats which will:

Force you to run through your business (the good, bad and ugly) with the group so that we can pick up on your problem areas
Teach you tips and tools you can use for the long-term as it relates to both YOUR business and YOUR website specifically
Allow you to ask questions of The VA Coach and the other participants with regards to the way your business is currently run
Let you see your business in a new light and through a different set of eyes. It’s amazing what a bit of perspective can do!

Where is the Retreat?

This is my favorite part… The retreat is being held at a Nature Spa located in picturesque Old Chelsea, Quebec, Canada. The nature spa borders beautiful Gatineau Park where you can see the beautiful Canadian autumn in all of its glory.

The nature spa is unique in that it is completely dedicated to the practice of Scandinavian relaxation techniques such as Nordic baths. However, it is not the techniques that is the site’s major asset. The location and natural scenery you will take in here rivals any nature spa you will find.

What is the Cost of This Amazing Retreat?

Yes, this is an important part of telling you all about this retreat. We’ve priced it out so that it is affordable and worth every penny. You’ll get:

Two nights, three days deluxe accomodation in a private lodge with the other retreat participants. (Airfare is not included and is the responsibility of each participant.)
All meals paid - meals are gourmet and completely healthy… The spa is all about indulgence in a good way.
Spa services included.
Business masterminding sessions throughout the weekend.
Access to the Nordic baths and other facilities on site.
Three one-hour coaching sessions with The VA Coach after the retreat for accountability.
A copy of The VA Coach’s ‘Skyrocket Your VA Business to Six-Figure Success’ print product (huge binder and CDs) which is not yet available to the public
And much, much more…

New Virtual Assistant Mastermind!

May 12, 2008

I am super excited to be blogging this today!

My good friend, Amber Miller, and I created a brand new mastermind for virtual assistants AND virtual women professionals. It’s an amazing program which features a brilliant speaker series, amazing member benefits and a group of like-minded, women individuals.

If you’ve struggled to find a place where YOU belong on the Internet and where you can get support with your virtual business, this is the place. It’s a safe and fun environment where YOU are the primary focus. We’re constantly adding new member benefits and our platinum group (limited to 12) gets to join us on a yearly retreat with all expenses paid (except air fare… we can’t be paying for flights from Australia! We’d go broke!)

(Sorry men, you can’t become a member but you can join us for our teleseminars!)

***

Tomorrow is our very first kick-off teleseminar and we want you there! It features Sheri McConnell who is an amazing and talented virtual woman professional and she’s going to be talking about her FOCUS marketing method.

This popular program is the marketing method she developed to help her coaching clients stay on track all year long. Program includes a Mind Map for you!

You will learn:

Why and how to filter your ideal customers–this step alone is the key to making six figures

How to organize your marketing and schedule ongoing sales, launches, and follow-up

Why conversion is so important

The correct way to convert subscribers into loyal customers

How to utilize current marketing theories that already exist, such as SWOT, Marketing Funnel, and the P’s of Marketing.

How to systemize and take advantage of automation and the natural selling cycles

Purchase your seat in the teleseminar (or become a member) here:

FoVA (Forum on Virtual Assistance) Recap & Photos

May 5, 2008

This weekend (May 2-4) was the FoVA Conference in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was held at the Delta which featured stunning conference facilities and really great rooms
(we upgraded to the Executive Deluxe floor!) This was the first virtual assistance conference I attended and let me tell you, it was fabulous. You know how sometimes you get the feeling, working remotely from others, that you are working inside of this little box and it isn’t until you get out around your peers that you realize that people do notice? That’s what I felt like at this conference. It was amazing.

I presented during the conference on the subject of creating passive revenue streams in your business. If you’d like to grab a copy of that presentation, I’ll be posting a link to the blog shortly. You can download them even if you aren’t a VA as the information is great for any Internet-based business owner. I love, love, love to speak to others about the things that I do. It’s amazing to be able to share and everyone in my presentation got to experience, first hand, my insanely over-idea’ed brain.
