From a solid administrative career with exposure to many industries; from entertainment, to stockbroking, real estate, and the area she loved most - legal - Ingrid moved into the 'job of her dreams' - PA to a senior partner in a large regional law firm.

But what should have been a triumph turned into a nightmare when she experienced the horrors of workplace bullying and abuse. It was at this point that Ingrid took stock of her skillset and decided to create her own business. She moved out of traditional employment, became her own boss, and quickly created a successful home-based business as a Virtual Assistant. She's never looked back. Now armed with further skills and entrepreneurial savvy, Ingrid works with EAs, PAs and administrative professionals to help them achieve their dream of turning their existing skills into a successful VA business in today's changing world.

Through her book, Ingrid provides guidance and advice around the key elements for success as a Virtual Assistant; from business startup logistics, services and pricing, how to find clients, right through to communication and time management. Filled with tips and insights, well researched information, and experience gained from her years as a VA, Ingrid's book is a must-have for anyone looking to start their own home based Virtual Assistant business.
