Most of us think that a personal assistant is someone who lives and works right next to you. In the age of technology, it is no longer necessary to be in the same room or even the same country as the person who handles your daily affairs. With technology, cell phones and other ways for us to remain connected, it's quite simple to work with someone every day of your life and never even see them. It is because of their brilliant use of technology and entrepreneurship skills that the ladies with JustGo Virtual Assistants are today's Dr. Boyce Watkins Spotlight on AOL Black Voices:
What is your name and what do you do?
Our name is JustGo, and we are a company that provides new age administrative and personal assistant services to high-profile speakers, authors, entrepreneurs and small businesses. Our assistants, although in another state, are able to complete and fulfill client requests and wishes through the use of Internet, e-mail, fax, phone and/or chat. We may not be able to personally pour your daily cup of coffee, but we can definitely have it delivered to you. JustGo presents a comfortable and convenient opportunity to those professionally inclined individuals with impeccable administrative and computer skills to work from home while also gifting its clients with money-saving services that reduce overhead expenses and relieves the pressures of routine responsibilities. This frees the client to focus on tasks that are more profit generating or gives them the opportunity to enjoy leisurely activities they otherwise may not have time for.
You use the Internet to support clients all over the world. How can someone have an assistant in another city, state or country?
Collaboration with a virtual assistant is made easy through the use of Internet, phone and other technology, but having an assistant in another city, state or country is also possible by the evolution of business management and operation within this 21st century. Our world has grown tremendously in this digital age we now live in and with this expansion in technology we are discovering new and innovative ways to do things more efficiently and without limits.
What have been some of your greatest challenges as an entrepreneur?
As an entrepreneur in this business one of my greatest challenges has been changing the principle that an assistant must and has to be a physical, reachable presence in the next room. It can be hard work convincing and proving to potential clients that these tasks can be proficiently managed without their assistant being within arm's reach.
What advice would you give to someone seeking to follow in your footsteps?
Be prepared to work really hard and know that self-discipline is a MUST for anyone who desires to work from home. Also staying abreast of the newest technology and always work to broaden your skills.
How can people get in touch with you to use your services?
We can be reached by the 800 number listed on our Website @ justgova.com or e-mail me at info@justgova.com. How might they benefit? They just might discover that a virtual assistant is the answer to their needs, freeing them to do what they do best and letting us handle the rest.
Is there anything else you'd like to share with our AOL Black Voices audience?
