		<description><![CDATA[Years ago, at an IVAA conference, Beth Quick Andrews gave a talk that she opened with &#8220;What would you do if you were brave?&#8221;. It was a powerful question for me at the time. I chewed my lip a bit and wrote down &#8220;Grow OffAssist beyond just myself.&#8221; It had been something I was considering, [...]]]></description>

This was my 5th conference that I&#8217;ve attended for the virtual assistant industry and I must admit that my reasons for attending have changed.

I had 2 networking groups yesterday with two very different experiences. The first was &#8220;great&#8221; group that a client has asked me several times to go to. It was not too far from me (about 30 minutes I figured) and she endorsed how wonderful it was. Good enough for me &#8211; [...]]]></description>
