Virtual Assistant: Hire One, Be One

Entrepreneur.com is talking about them. Employment Digest is talking about them. Tim Ferris, the productivity wizard of The 4-hour Workweek, recommends them, saying that “every facet of your life can be outsourced.” An entrepreneur can avoid hiring an extra employee by farming out administrative tasks to a virtual assistant.
