Obviously, our new look is What's New, but more than that, we are taking The Virtual Nation to a whole new level.

Some of you may know that Sharon and I have decided to dissovle our business partnerships, thus the recent changes with The Virtual Nation and Green Office Solutions. We have basically been growing in different directions and finally made it official last month. We are still friends and will continue to collaborate whenever needed. I know I learned a lot this past year and wouldn't do it differently if I had the opportunity.

I am really excited about this New Year and all that I envision for both my business and personal growth. I am bringing you lots of goodies and tools in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes pealed to the website, blog and monthly ezine.

For all of you who have been patiently waiting this past year for all of the cool things to roll out, I am extending a special offer to you. I am extending all of your existing memberships for one more full year. That means, you won't have to pay for your memberships until January 2008. Let me know if you have any questions about this.

In other news, I will begin teaching an online Virtual Assistant certificate program this fall. I am working hard to get all of The Virtual Nation stuff done so I can start developing my lesson plans. My students will get the best of The Virtual Nation and my personalized training all wrapped together. If you are interested in joining my classes, send me an email with the subject, Fall 2007 VA Class.
