Press Release Summary: Virtual Assistance is defined and explained according to area
businesswoman.

Press Release Body: They say, "if you want a job done well, do it yourself." But in
this era of the "Four-Hour Work Week" that saying has morphed to, "if you want a job
done well, hire a virtual assistant."

Enter Larissa Parks, a Virtual Assistant from Waldorf, Maryland. Larissa left her
executive and administrative assistant life after 15 years, and dove into training -
virtually - at AssistU. She has been able to take the experience of "running the
show" for other businesses, and now manages her own business while assisting others
in the day-to-day needs of her clients.

So, what exactly is Virtual Assistance, anyway? Well, looking at it from a business
owner's perspective, it is the ability to have the "busy" work taken from you and
taken care of, without the need to micromanage the job every step of the way. A
Virtual Assistant can remove your anxiety over the little things that take time out
of your day, but don't generate income so that you can do just that - make more
money! A Virtual Assistant doesn't just take orders from you like the waitress at
the cafe. She also helps you manage your time, consults with you on the important
aspects of her assisting you. She maintains a relationship with you to truly become
your right-hand person, and keeps you on track to improve your business.

Larissa, the owner of Seven Winds Virtual Assistance, LLC loves her budding
business. She is now ready to take on even more fabulous clients. While Larissa
sees her business growing, her ideal client is someone who believes in long-term
collaborations. Ideally, she will work with clients who are seeking to partner with
her for 20 or more hours per month.

Right now she is training to be able to provide shopping cart services to her
clients. She knows that improving and adding to her skills will add to the value of
working with her for her clients. Working with interesting people and providing
valuable support really jazzes Larissa. You can hear it in her voice when she talks
about getting "lost in her work" for her clients. She really values the work she
does and the relationships she has built with her clients.

While working from home is a dream career for Larissa, it's the vision of service,
travel, and fulfillment that she looks forward to most. Her dreams include horseback
riding in the afternoon, volunteering for the Humane Society, travelling, and
learning about other cultures, traditions and new languages. She is especially
fascinated by Asian cultures, along with many different cultures, and looks forward
to visiting countries that will allow her to experience the culture first-hand. As
some of her colleagues who graduated from AssistU have done, she dreams about
spending part of her year here in the US, and part of it in another country -
wherever that may be - working, virtually for her fabulous clients!

building your business and making you more successful. Larissa is also available for
interviews and speaking events.
