Nancy Valdez - Austin's Virtual Assistant
Since 2006 Austin’s Virtual Assistant has been providing virtual business support services to small businesses in Texas.
UPDATE: As I write this I am no longer taking clients to work with as a Virtual Assistant. Instead of working with new clients I am sharing everything I know on my blog.
If you have started a new business, congratulations! I hope my blogs/articles are helpful to you and please let me know if there is something I can do to help.
My intent is to help new business owners get set up so they can start running their business smoothly and with time to focus on their talent instead of running around juggling multiple hats simultaneously.
