Summary: Good book
Comment: This is my first book on starting a virtual assistant business, and I bought it at the recommendation of other reviewers. Very good book so far; haven't read it all, but I would recommend it for your first book on this subject.

Summary: The best book for any new VA
Comment: I've been a virtual assistant for a while but when I learned of this book I purchased it. Wow, was I glad I did. The information in here is invaluable. In fact, I've had to repurchase the book a couple of times because I keep giving it away. (I think I've purchased three copies so far.) I HIGHLY recommend this book to any new or veteran VA or small business owner. The book gives you so much information. Lauren and Jeannine really did their homework here. Some books are borrowers, this one is a definite purchase. You'll refer back to this book often. They also offer an workbook to go with it -- great purchase as well. [...].

Summary: Must Have Book
Comment: I wanted to start my own virtual assistance business but didn't know where to start. This book was the best investment I could have made. It is an easy read and walks you through step-by-step with ease. While reading the book, it boosted my confidence level by adding quotes from other virtual assistants who have successful businesses. Have a highlighter in your hand because there is some excellent advice from start to finish. After reading this book, I was able to finish my website, came up with a great name and tagline, and have the confidence to move forward with my business. If you are looking to start a business, this book is for you!!

Summary: A MUST-HAVE BOOK for Virtual Assistants!
Comment: As a new virtual assistant, one could easily be overwhelmed when trying to find information about the VA business on the 'web. Entrepreneurial Freedom presents all of the must-have information a new VA needs, and does so in a frank and factual manner. I love WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) information, and this book is jam-packed with just that. It's down-to-earth info that every VA needs, and you will race through the book absorbing all of the terrific information you've been seeking. It's ALL here, in one place, and it answers your questions honestly and completely. There are quotes from twenty successful virtual assistants sprinkled throughout the book, and this information drives home the fact that this is truly an industry that takes hard work, but that can be very rewarding.

Summary: Great for new or established Virtual Assistants
Comment: Entrepreneurial Freedom, published in 2006 by former IVAA President Jeannine Clontz and Lauren Hidden of The Hidden Helper LLC, is a great book for anyone interested in beginning a virtual assisting career or growing their VA practice.
This guide is small in size but packed with information. Clontz and Hidden begin with a self evaluation section to help readers decide if they have what it takes to be a virtual assistant and small business owner. The guide also goes into detail on business planning, branding, marketing, growing your business and more.
Entrepreneurial Freedom contains an entire chapter on finding, and more importantly, keeping clients. The book discusses tough issues like how to say no to a potential client and how to fire a client.
Of particular interest is the chapter on Ethics. Clontz, an IVAA EthicsCheck(tm) Virtual Assistant, outlines her 3 standard questions for helping anyone make an ethical decision in any situation.
This book contains references and lists pointing you to trusted resources for almost any need for your VA business. While it's small in size (only 166 pages including index), Entrepreneurial Freedom is a trusted resource for any new or established Virtual Assistant's bookshelf.
