Movin' On Up!

Virtual Moxie

Virtual Moxie will live on there, I'm happy to report. We're heading toward the end of a long rebrand, including the creation of not one, but two new sites! Included in the site for VAs, a new blog--well, a different version of this blog, really. We just need to stop adding content here and focus on what has to happen to finish the new sites.

Moxie Tip 94: Employers

Virtual Moxie

Clients who tell Virtual Assistants what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to report it, and/or dictate "what they'll pay" are known by the IRS and CRA as. Don't work for them. Instead, tell them how you work, and let them go if they're not agreeable to it.

Virtual Moxie

And I wanted it to be more rich than an ebook or special report--which I keep hearing people are entirely tired of. And I wanted it to be a genuine gift—which, by definition, has to be given freely and without strings—so I didn’t even want them to have to sign up to get access to the information I planned to share.

Virtual Moxie

How was it fair, I reasoned, that they got my money and got to use it, interest free, even before my taxes needed to be prepared and reported?

Moxie Lessons From a 50 Year Old

Virtual Moxie

On the afternoon of my birthday, I reported this on Facebook: “I did not awaken on this, my 50th bday, to find I''d been instantly transported to "I don''t give a f**k about what you think about my life," land (as I was told I would be).
