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.

About half my clients still use checks on a regular basis. For them, it&#8217;s fairly easy, we just set up their check for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Warning: Sarcasm ahead  
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>
