I frequently hear Virtual Assistants refer to themselves as “generalists” and I always wonder why they denigrate themselves like that. It’s certainly not attractive marketing-wise. It portrays what you do as unimportant and of less value. It implies...

“Good work will lead to more immediately.”
“Work on commission and your income is only limited by your effort.”

Danielle is great. She keeps the VAs of the world completely informed on every aspect of being a VA. She is a savvy business expert and I am grateful to have found her site.
Danielle is a valuable and reliable resource. What I especially like about Danielle is that she tells it like it is and holds nothing back, while clearly speaking from her heart. She speaks from experience and openly shares her knowledge with the world.
This is *the* best blog in the VA industry. Danielle's insightful and articulate observations are invaluable for VAs positioning themselves and their businesses for success with integrity.
Excellent, informative and often humorous. I look forward to getting my Gritty VA. I usually stop what I'm doing to check it out. Daniel does a great job keeping me informed and 'thinking' about the VA industry.
I appreciate Danielle being the pioneer that she is. She speaks her mind and really cares about other virtual assistants. Her blog radiates with thought-provoking industry news and she is definitely a leader among leaders.
