In fact, I honestly don’t know what I would do without them now that I found them!  They save me much needed time and energy. Check them out! I’m sure you’ll find they just might make your life easier too!

Blue Host – I’ve used several hosting services in the last few years and find that BlueHost is the most affordable and reliable. The value Blue Host offers for the price is flat out stunning. You can host an unlimited number of domains and you get unlimited bandwidth. That’s important in today’s online business environment as video and audio become more important.

Word Press – If you are searching for a blogging platform that really delivers, there is no comparison. WordPress installs quickly and painlessly, works well right out of the box and is massively extensible with themes and plugins for a truly unique blog. I’ve never met anyone who regretted moving their blogging to the WordPress platform.

Studio Press– If you’re in the market for a spectacular WordPress theme you have to check out StudioPress. The themes at StudioPress are all search engine optimized and easily customizable from the WordPress dashboard without having to learn any PHP or HTML at all. Whether you’re just getting started as a blogger or you’ve been at it for a while, StudioPress will give you the professional advantage, making your blog the best it can be.

Thesis - Another very poplar theme. I’ve worked with both and find them easy to customize and the support is second to none.

My Dropbox – Put your files into your Dropbox on one computer and they’ll be instantly available on any other computer where you’ve installed the Dropbox. You can even create links to share your files with others, and your files are securely backed up if anything goes wrong with your computer. It’s free for up to 2 gigs. I was thrilled when I discovered this.

Roboform – Do you struggle with managing all of your logins and associated passwords?  Roboform is a tool that manages your logins and passwords while maintaining strict security protocols through encryption. You can also use it to create profiles for filling out any kind of online form that you use frequently such as comment forms, article and directory submission forms as well as social bookmarking sites. There’s also a synch tool that allows you to securely store your passwords on the Roboform server so you’ll never lose another password or login again. It is an indispensable tool that keeps me organized and running efficiently.  Check it out!

It really handles every ecommerce application you’ll ever need in one reliable, secure and easy solution.

I read an article yesterday that came through my Facebook or Twitter about social networking squatters. Today I’m not able to find it. If you posted about this yesterday, please let me know and I will give you the kudos for this one.

Maybe you’re on LinkedIn or Facebook, maybe more. But have you considered or even know about all of the other networking sites out there? Even if you aren’t doing the social networking thing right now, you’ll want to register your name on the various social networking sites. Why? Because if you don’t someone else will!

Imagine your potential or current customers looking for you and finding someone else using your name or your business name. You have no control over the content coming out with your name on it.

Quickly check the availability of your name or your business name using KnowEm.

I’ve been in the administration and management fields for over 20 years; and for most of those 20 years I knew I wanted and needed something more. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs I always had an eye on the future and the possibilities of owning my own business, but I knew my dreams of being my own boss would not be fulfilled until I found my niche. In 2001 I came across AssistU.com, after some very thorough research I dove in and began the intense 20 week course. And in 2002 I launched Kathy McHenry-Your Virtual Advantage.

One of my favorite parts of being a Virtual Assistant is working with different clients on different projects—my days are never boring! My services are customized to meet your needs. Whether you need an administrative manager, business manager, or want to integrate my services into your own business; I’ve got you covered.

As a small business owner myself, I know the day-to-day challenges of maintaining your business and balancing it with your life. My approach to my client’s projects is from a business owner’s point of view, not an assistant’s.I prefer to get to know my clients and in doing so my clients get to know me. Here are a few personal things about me–in no particular order.

I’m located in Virginia after being born and raised in North Dakota. I love the east coast; we are 50 miles south of DC and couldn’t be happier.I’m married with two daughters and one granddaughter. My three girls are the most important things to me. I would do anything for them.

I love cooking, and eating of course. I started a cooking club here about four years ago as a way to make friends. I’m also part of a fine dining club that meets quarterly at a nice restaurant for a meal prepared especially for us. It’s all good!

I’m a glass half-full kind of gal… “Do you have to find something good in everything? Can’t you just let me be mad?” I won’t tell on the person who said that to me.

I’m an organizer and a planner. But I’m pretty good on the fly too.

I hate all pictures of me, even that one on the top of this page.

I don’t mind that I’m getting older, I just don’t like that I’m looking older. I’m still feeling young though!

I need my sleep, healthy food, a quiet house and I’m happy as a clam.

If you don’t want me to solve your problem, then don’t tell me about it.

I hope you enjoyed me in a nut shell, I’m looking forward to learning more about you and your business.
