So the gone fishing sign is now removed form my office door and it’s back to work. And what a crappy way to start. My star employee, sent me an email saying that she could no longer continue. This without any warning? We’ll to be quite honest, I saw it coming. There were days when she would not work and always have some reason or the other, but I never questioned her since I know life can be very distracting. I just wished she gave me the normal 1-2 weeks notice so I could find a replacement. Sudipa, great working with you and all the best in whatever else you plan on doing.

Virtual Assistant Needed!

So I’m back to square one with the hiring process for a new VA, but if you recall when I hired Sundipa I created a quick-start doc with…

- what I expecetd

- tasks I needed her for

- how to perform those tasks

So though I now have to sort through all the applications I received, it should be smooth sailing once I choose the right person. The training manual I created a while back will ease the transition for the new VA. Here’s the other thing I plan on doing… I’ll hire 2 VAs, so in the event one decides this is not for them, my back will be covered. I’m in the process of real growth and I don’t need this sort of thing slowing me down.

Plus, besides the normal non-disclosure and confidentiality forms, I’ll ask the new staff to agree that 2 weeks notice is a must to be considered for this position.

CONTEST WINNER!

With the little drama I had with loosing my VA, I’m a bit late announcing the contest winner. I’ll be honest, with over 680 readers I was hoping for more entries. But, that said… a special thanks to everyone who participated. Can “Ardis” please contact me with your mailing address? Your’re the WINNER! As soon as you get your mailing address to me, the intems will be shipped out to you.

Look for another exciting contest within the next few days, with an even bigger/better prize.

BTW, did you notice that within 1 week after launching, WFHMarket.com is already being used by over 800 registered users? Imagine if we were charging a small monthly fee of $19.95 for memberships? That would see us make close to $16k in 1 week. Did we miss the boat on this? Nah! We’re here to help people aquire a work from home job and not cash-in on memberships! Hopefully the ads on the site will help pay for it.
