It’s been a long hot summer for most of us this year. We haven’t had to deal with quite the same level and intensity of heat here in Central Ohio as some of you in other parts of the country; and for that, I’m thankful. It was a great summer, despite the heat. I was able to combine business with pleasure the first weekend in August by getting together with four other VAs and their families at Bear Creek in Sparta, Ohio for a VA-cation. They all came in from different directions … Canada, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Virginia and then my family from Ohio, We had a great time pitching our tents, cooking over the campfire, and yes, discussing business. We even tried our hand at Karaoke … Click here ONLY if you’re brave and have a strong stomach. Then, later in the month Jim and I spent a glorious week up on Kelley’s Island on Lake Erie. Summer is winding down and I can see just a hint of the beginnings of Fall off in the distance. Fall, or Autumn, is my very favorite time of year, so I’m really looking forward to the coming months.

From time to time we’ve made some hints in our ezine and on our blog about some big changes taking place at Fastype. Well, we’re finally ready to spill the beans, and are pleased to announce that we are officially changing our business model from a single VA practice to a Multi-VA practice. In an effort to provide even better service and value to our clients, we have added some new services, and have added some very qualified Associate VAs to our team. We are in the process of updating our website to reflect the changes, and will be revealing all of our top-notch associates once those changes are made … as well as filling you in on some of the exciting new services we will be offering. And rest assured, you will continue to receive the same quality, and standard, of service you have come to expect when working with Fastype.
