Learning is Fundamental

You don’t have to be enrolled in college or school to get an education; of course, I am all for continuing education, so if that is something you want to do – I encourage you to go for it! Life in and of itself is a learning experience. We learn from the mistakes we make (or at least we try to) and we learn from our triumphs as well. Another way we learn is by reading: books, magazines or even online articles. Turning to the web is yet another way in which we gather and learn useful information.

There are two main principles that I have regarding education: You are never too old to get an education AND you should always strive to learn, whether it be through conventional or non-conventional means.

In the eleventh episode of A Virtual Perception, I will discuss a variety of ways in which you can educate yourself and learn new skills - inexpensively. You do not have to break the bank in order to learn! There are many ways in which you can educate yourself, even on a shoestring budget. Join me on January 11th, for Learning is Fundamental

Are You Ready for Tax Time?

Are you prepared for the upcoming tax filing season? In the 12th episode of A Virtual Perception, I will be speaking with Rebecka Melson of Virtual Business Services - a virtual assistant company that provides bookkeeping and financial management services to small businesses. Rebecka always provides such valuable tax and financial information on the Virtual Assistant Forums, and she does so in a way that isn't confusing, that you will come away from this podcast with some really useful information. Your business finances do not have to be excruciating and in this episode we hope to shed some light on this oftentimes hair-pulling topic!
