You’re actually reading this nearly twelve days before Christmas – give or take a day. If you happen to be a client, you’ll be pleasantly surprised how much a virtual assistant can accomplish in a mere twelve days. If you’re a virtual assistant, you’ll nod your head in recognition of the requests that can come to you in a mere twelve days – from a single client…or from all of your clients combined.
With that, let the merriment begin (feel free to hum the song’s tune while you read)…

And the 12 Days conclude like this…
