  • Separating Fact From Fiction in Reprint Articles
    When I first began to research the Virtual Assistant (VA) industry a few years ago, I came across a reprinted article, written by an expert, which contradicted everything I had learned so far about starting a Virtual Assistant business. I showed the article to some experienced VAs who were quick to express their displeasure with the article and assured me the writer was not the expert she espoused to be. No credible VA would say those things.If you’re using reprint articles in your own publications, or if you’re reading online articles to learn something new, it can be difficult to decide if an article author is credible and the information true. Here are some ways to help you decide if an author and her article are to be believed.

    However, the results of this one action could have a dramatic impact on their lives and businesses.
  • Sharing the Good News of Easter with Your Customers
    It's almost Easter, every chocoholic's favorite time of year. To the Christian, though, Easter has even greater significance.

For most of us, though, our customers aren’t necessarily of the Christian faith. If that's your situation, is it possible to share to Easter's Good News with the people you serve each day?

    The truth is, though, most parents are fully qualified to teach their own children.
