The Rise of The Virtual Nation

A new breed of workers is on the rise. With high-tech getting smarter and sleeker, internet marketing growing by leaps and bounds, outsourced jobs increasing, and corporate downsizing happening every day, it is no wonder workers are getting fed up and learning to take control of their own destinies.

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) January 6, 2006 -- They’ve been let go, forced out, kicked out, and received pink slip notices discreetly placed in their inboxes. Employees are more stressed out and over worked than they were thirty years ago and now they want a better life. Many workers have started their own businesses from home or are forming other non-traditional workplaces. They are learning what it is like to be their own boss and how much there is to do, learn, and be. It isn’t as simple as they thought.

Help has arrived. A company called The Virtual Nation is gearing up for their big launch in Sacramento, CA on Saturday, January 21, 2006. Their focus is supporting virtual workers around the globe. A virtual worker is someone who may be a telecommuter or a business owner operating out of their home or another type of non-traditional office, such as their car, or hotel. As Virtual Assistants, a ten-year-old term for remote office assistants, Michelle Ulrich and Sharon Broughton wanted to share their vast knowledge and resources with others.

The Virtual Nation’s mission is to educate and enrich the lives of non-traditional office workers, from telecommuters to sales people and virtual assistants to coaches with the rich, robust resources, tips, and trends on their website.

With an online forum and an in-person networking group, it is no wonder people are choosing The Virtual Nation as the place to be heard. In addition to networking opportunities, member benefits include:
