		<title>Not accepting new clients and other developments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I guess it’s time to officially, publicly announce that I am no longer operating as the leader of a Multi-VA team. *sigh* There. It&#8217;s out. That feels better.

		<description><![CDATA[Here we are on June 21 – the first day of summer – but it feels like I was just setting my New Year’s Resolutions! Speaking of resolutions, last week I started working on one of my goals for 2010 by enrolling in Infusionsoft Bootcamp.

		<description><![CDATA[Thank goodness it’s Friday. All this training I’ve been taking is really wearing me out. But don’t worry! I love learning and I’ve scheduled in lots of time to relax this weekend. (I definitely see a glass of wine and a bubble bath in my near future.) Now I’m getting off track. See…I told you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are some very big changes happening behind the scenes here at Seven Winds and I want to take a break from the blog to focus our energy on the direction this business will soon be heading in.

		<title>Micro-managers need not apply</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m surprised at how many of the VAs on my team react when I give them full control over a project. See…I am not a micro-manager. I never appreciated being micromanaged a hundred years ago when I was an employee and I won’t put up with it today as a business owner. I choose the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wait a minute…who is looking out for YOU?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let’s be honest. You started a business to make money and live a good life. If that wasn’t the primary reason, surely it made it on the short list, right?

		<description><![CDATA[The latest HOT topic reels from the Postal Service where DRASTIC measures may take place to cover their losses of revenue during these tough times.  Such ideas include delivery of mail every other day, possibly stopping delivery of mail on Saturdays completely, and raising stamp prices again; this is just a sampling of serious, albeit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Done wasting energy on “the haters”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are two types of Virtual Assistants, at least as far as I’m concerned. There’s the type that works really hard at making it sound like they’re really busy and successful. They mention it so often, in so many places, that it’s quite evident to the rest of us that there’s no way they’re actually [...]]]></description>
