We have received a number of requests from people asking about virtual assistants: what can they do, when should I get one, where can I find one, how do they charge etc. and we thought that Jenny from Jennifer Cooper Timesaver would be much better placed to answer these questions than us.
Jenny set up her UK based virtual assistant ("VA") business 12 months but has already seen her business grow significantly as businesses that use her services are saving huge amounts of time allowing them to focus on other parts of their business.
Jenny talks passionately about her journey and how becoming a VA has transformed her life as well as others in her network.
