WAHM Announce

Lessons For a Happy Marriage is now available online. Written by Paul Friedman, Lessons For a Happy Marriage is a marriage help manual that has helped hundreds of couples save their marriage. With an almost 100% success rate in saving marriages, it is no wonder that the book’s online release has generated excitement.

Paul Friedman’s entry into the business of helping couples mend their marriages began with a very rough personal experience with divorce. This awakened his desire to help other couples avoid the traumas he experienced with marriage counselors and divorce. He writes, “The divorce courts are as dysfunctional as anything I have ever experienced. They funnel otherwise good people into negative positions they would never have imagined themselves capable of.”

Paul came out of an early retirement to become a mediator. His belief was that couples could easily work out the details of separation and get on with their lives. He discovered the truth from his clients: they only sought divorce because the help they found to stay together didn’t work. He made up his mind to take a fresh and scientific look at what makes a marriage fail, and what makes a marriage work. His efforts yielded the most effective marriage manual ever conceived.

With the success of Lessons For a Happy Marriage, Paul has been commissioned by a publisher to write a book on parenting which is currently in the making.

Local Virtual Assistant Receives Entrepreneurial Recognition

DOWNERS GROVE, IL – Sheila York, owner of York Signature Assistance, Inc., announced today that she is the recipient of the VAccolade Business Entrepreneur Award.

The VAccolade Award not only recognizes participation at VAnetworking, the world’s largest member-based Virtual Assistant networking association online, but also recognizes the professionalism with which York presents herself on the Web, thereby giving her more credibility among other Virtual Assistants.

“Virtual Assistants (VAs) are business owners who work from their own offices providing professional support, services and skills to their clients via phone, fax and Internet-based technology. Partnering with a VA reduces stress, protects cash flow, eliminates administrative hassles, and enables business people to find the success they originally set out to achieve. A VA is your right-hand person helping you to succeed in your business. The irony is you may never meet your VA as odds are they live nowhere near you!” (Definition from www.VAnetworking.com).

York specializes in administrative support to individual entrepreneurs, and small to medium-sized businesses particularly Event/Meeting planners and is a home-based administrative professional providing various online services to her clients. She started her Virtual Assistance career well equipped with the experience as well as the work/life balance concept. This concept was always important to Sheila and became increasingly necessary as significant changes in her family took place. Having the flexibility to balance family and running a company is no easy task but the reward is well worth it. By providing administrative support to current Event/Meeting Planners, she has the opportunity to utilize her skills and professional experience by providing services to other business owners involved in a niche that she is passionate about, event/meeting planning (hospitality).

In a recent survey from VAnetworking, the United States has the largest number of VAs, followed by Canada, Australia and Europe. Clients pay only for time spent on their projects. There’s no need to pay for taxes, benefits, equipment, etc. VAs are hired on an hourly or a monthly retainer basis.
