Name: Bonnie Jo Davis

Tell us a little about yourself:
I’m a single mom of one child that is leaving for college this month. I own my own business and
do most of my work on the computer.

What is your business name and web address:
Davis Virtual Assistance
http://www.DavisVirtualAssistance.com

What inspired you to become a work at home mom:
My inspiration was the first thirteeen years that I worked
at an office and my son was in day care before and after
school. I wasn’t interested in working at home but he
was so unhappy at day care that I arranged with my
employer to work part-time from home after school
every day. I liked it so much that I started my own Virtual
Assistant business working from home full-time.

Tell us a little about your business:
My clients are small business owners, professional speakers,
consultants and coaches. I provide them with all the office
management, administrative and marketing support they need
to keep their business running smoothly.

Is there any advice that you would like to share with other women:
Don’t believe it when someone discourages you from starting your
own business. Anyone can do it if they recognize their talents and
put them to good use serving clients.

What has been the most effective advertising method for you:
My only marketing method is writing and submitting articles around
the web. I do it for myself and clients and it is far more effective
than any other method.

Can you share with us one negative business experience that you learned from:
My biggest negative experience was accepting a client that I knew would
drive me crazy. We are totally mismatched personality wise and we
recently decided not to work together anymore. My advice for others
in this situation is don’t take on a client for the money… it’s not worth
it.
