Hello from Michelle Schoen "VA DemoGirl"

[michelleschoen]

Hi, I'm Michelle Schoen and my brand is the VA Demo Girl. I can't believe I have been in this business for so many years and never attended a live event. But I couldn't NOT go to something that is in my backyard as I live right here in Atlanta. I hope it stays warm for all you folks coming here as the last few weeks have been frigid, but it is finally returning to normal.

I was a Virtual Assistant for about two years but am now a trainer of VAs (Become a Virtual Event Specialist and Podcasting/Webinars and Video for VAs). I also have an ongoing Virtual Training class with my buddy Lon Naylor and we teach how to do screencasting with Camtasia (Learn Camtasia Fast).

I'm really so excited to interact with real, live people as it gets pretty old on e-mail and instant messaging every day. See you soon.

PS- We live just north of the city and have a lovely guest room if anyone (preferably of the female persuasion) needs a place to stay.

Welcome Michelle,
You will find that there is a bunch of VA's in the NAMS crowd. See you soon!

Finally we get to meet Michelle! We have a forum thread going (http://www.vanetworking.com/forum/Attention-Virtual-Assista-t19825.html) at our VAnetworking Forum for all Virtual Assistants attending so we can have a social night or something to get to know each other and connect!

Hello fellow Atlantan! Love your web site. Cannot wait to speak with you and hear about your business!

Hey Michelle! Great to meet you! I won't be at this NAMS, but, I will be at the next one in August! And I only live about 2hrs west of you - I love meeting people 'nearby' who 'understand' me - you know? (Don't get a lot of that in a small town in Alabama - lol)

Oh - and I didn't actually edit your post. I was thinking I could edit your signature for you. But I know I can't do that, must be out of my head a little with this headache. Anyway, your url is not clickable. Feel free to msg me if you need help with that. :)

One of my goals this weekend is to find a VA to help me with my projects. That's one of the things "that will make the weekend worth it", as I mentioned in my Action Guide.

Anyway, I need to find someone who can tell me what they can do for me. I'm not sure what to give up, what can be done by others and what should be done by others.

I look forward to meeting you and talking to many of the VA's this weekend.
