A number 2 pencil and a dream can take you anywhere.

--Joyce A. Myers
Dear Michele,

This past July I revived my book project.  Yes, I started writing a book over two years ago, and have not touched it in over a year.  One of the reasons we spent the month of May in California was for me to have time to work on my book.  Well, that did not happen.  Instead, I worked on my networking.  At the urging of my husband, Peter, I've been scheduling time on my calendar to continue writing my book.  And I'm trying to keep to it.

You're probably asking now, "what's the book about?"  What else would it be about ... How to Open and Operate your Own Solo and Multi-Virtual Executive Assistant Office.  It will also be chock full of resources, forms, and, of course, how to's.  Now, I'm not going to predict when it will be ready for sale, but I'm hoping at least by the end of the year.  You will be the first to know.

I am also soliciting suggestions from my friends, colleagues and family on what they feel would be important to include in the book.  I am also looking for referrals to people who have self-published and what resources they have used.  So, if you know anyone, please have them give me a call.  So far I have a Table of Contents that is five pages long, single-spaced. 

It is an exciting prospect for me and Peter.

Thank you for all of your support.

Best,

Michele

Online Scheduling Solution
ASO Messy Desk
Are you wasting a lot of your time leaving voice mail messages or sending emails back and forth trying to coordinate people for a meeting?  Meeting Wizard walks you through a simple step-by-step process to create an email invitation up to 50 participants, proposing up to 12 different dates and times for your meeting, including the duration of the meeting, and the time zone. 

With a check of one box, you can have Meeting Wizard send a reminder email to your participants 1 to 13 days before the confirmed scheduled meeting.

Before sending out your email invitation, you will also have the option to receive the results as each participant responds, or after all responses are received.  For simplicity, I like receiving the responses after all have been received.  It also saves from clogging my email inbox.  Whatever you choose, Meeting Wizard provides you with your results in a simple table-format showing each participant's availability.  You can pick the date and time that the majority of your participants are available, in which case you would select the Confirm button and send the confirmation email, or you can propose more dates and times based on the responses you already received.

Meeting Wizard is a great tool to help you coordinate those meetings.  No more playing phone tag!

And did I mention that it is FREE!
