HAPPY INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS DAY!

Join us as we celebrate the contributions of VAs and freelancers located around the globe. IVAD is celebrated on the 3rd Friday of May, annually.

05/16/2024

One thing I love about running my virtual business is that you put in the work and you get to make money from it.

There’s nothing else quite like the feeling of accomplishment and excitement when you achieve a big goal like doubling your monthly income or signing a new “ideal” client.

That feeling is so amazing that we want as many people as possible to experience it.

If you haven’t heard, OIVAC 2024 starts tomorrow, Thursday, May 16 through Saturday, May 18.

It’s a free, 3-day virtual convention featuring 28+ virtual business experts teaching online business fundamentals, marketing strategies, and how to grow your business through best practices and useful technologies.

This convention is literally perfect for you if:

>You are a newbie or veteran virtual assistant, freelancer, or ready to take your business to its next level.

>You’re adding a new service to your arsenal and unsure about the most effective way to promote it.

>You’re ready to scale your business but are afraid to assume the new leadership role required.

I’m going to be there talking about A Perfect Client: One Person> One Problem>One Promise. and I’d love it if you could join me!

"Oprah Approved" OIVAC 2024

Do you recall when Oprah approved a book, business, or item and it moved to #1 on the bestsellers' list or made millions from the endorsement? The 3rd week of May is the "Oprah-approved" week for VAs, freelancers, and other online business owners.

Why?

Because it's when the world acknowledges the contributions VAs, freelancers, and other online entrepreneurs contribute to businesses located around the globe.

During this time, Virtual Assistants and freelancers traditionally celebrate two holidays, Mother's Day and International Virtual Assistants Day (IVAD).

So, in celebration of Mother's Day I pass on this wish.

If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through other’s eyes 👀 🙄. What I see is an incredibly extraordinary person and a totally committed entrepreneur. I am so proud of the woman and business owner you have become.

In celebration of International Virtual Assistants Day (IVAD), OIVAC 2024 is reducing the All Access Pass ticket price from $97 to $82, a $15 savings.

However, this special ends Sunday, May 11th, at 12 midnight (EDT).

So, treat yourself (your🙋mom, sister, aunt, mate, pal, 🧑partner, or business associate -- you get the idea 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 👩‍👩‍👧‍👦 🙋) to 30+ presentations, a year's access to replays, free downloads and courses, global networking with peers, and attendance at the International Virtual Assistants Day celebration where we salute the industry, our achievements, and future, by partying, sharing stories and gifts, and much more.

This year's IVAD keynote presenter is Ms. Marjorie Aviso, a signatory of the United Nations Women Empowerment Principles (WEP). She has made it a priority to provide opportunities and support for women in the industry, creating a business culture that is diverse, inclusive, and empowering.

Take advantage of this "Oprah Approved" special before the May 11 deadline. Click bit.ly/oivac24 to register! Don't delay! We hope to see you there.

When you look at your circle and you don’t get either inspired or challenged, you do not have a circle. You are in a cage.
