Entrepreneurial Economy on the Rise?

With South Carolina unemployment rates at record highs, one local company chose to employ outside the box" tactics and form a company that utilizes virtual workers to fulfill the business needs of local and global clientele.

Spartanburg, SC (PRWEB) April 21, 2005 -- With the latest stream of corporate layoffs, many women and men have decided not to go back to the corporate rat race. Many former corpratites" have chosen the field of virtual assistance, providing professional services virtually. It is estimated that there are thousands of Virtual Assistants (VAs) worldwide and the numbers continue to grow everyday.

As a leader in the Virtual Assistance industry Dale Noles, President of Virtual Accuracy and VA Training.com, coaches and mentors those who are entering the cutting-edge profession of Virtual Assistance. Noles states, on a daily basis I talk with members in the corporate world who want more from their life. They want to utilize the skills they have and turn it into an entrepreneurial endeavor doing what they love. My goal is to provide them with the necessary know-how to make this a reality. Having experienced a layoff first hand, my modus operandi is to help other businesses not become another statistic."

Virtual Assistants or VAs are partnering with businesses and professionals to provide solutions to everyday administrative and technical challenges. The International Virtual Assistants Association defines a Virtual Assistant (VA) as, an independent entrepreneur providing administrative, creative and/or technical services. Utilizing advanced technological modes of communication and data delivery, a professional VA assists clients in his/her area of expertise from his/her own office on a contractual basis."

Virtual Assistants can partner with clients for one-time projects and/or daily activities. Clients are attracted to VAs because they do not have the usual expenses and overhead when utilizing these professional independent contractors. While most VAs perform administrative tasks they are more than just a home-based secretary. Before setting up their practices, most VAs held prominent positions in the corporate world. The Virtual Assistance industry comprises former corporate trainers, CPAs, publicity agents, marketing executives, paralegals, executive assistants and many more.

Noles further states, Virtual Accuracy has clients all over the United States, Canada and Switzerland and we have not felt the economic burden that many companies are feeling today. Because of our client load, we are able to help current and former corpratites" with subcontracted work while they build up their own practice with their ideal clients. Being an entrepreneur is not for everyone. However, it is a great feeling when you are able to put the knowledge and skills you learned in the corporate world to work for your sole entrepreneurial benefit."
