A few weeks ago or so I made a public commitment to blog once per week and though I guess I have technically been ‘posting’ – I’m usually posting articles that I’ve already written so I think I’m not TRULY meeting my commitment.  So my new commitment is to personally write something NEW once per week (at least!).

Kathy, our Social Media Specialist reminded me how important our websites and blogs are after last week’s twitter and Facebook hacking.

So here I am with my first post which I think will be just an update on what I’m doing personally and professionally, things on the horizon for 1st VA and whatever else comes to mind.

Summer is quickly winding down (sob sob).  It hasn’t felt like summer here much at all.  We’ve had unseasonably cool and rainy weather.  The kids are anxious to get back to school – mostly because I think they’re bored.  But I’m not quite ready for fall and winter.  Then again, with this funky weather, maybe we’ll have a sweltering September – who knows!

We’re planning a trip to Cape Cod for the last week in August!  One of our favorite places that we get to at least once each summer.  Next week it’s school shopping and appointments!

On the business side of things there is a lot going on.  We have two new products in the works (September will be my writing month!).  Our Online in a Month program is going gangbusters!  I’ll be flying out to Las Vegas in November for Ali Brown’s Shine event.  I’m half-way through Melanie Benson Strick’s Fast Track to a 6 & 7 Figure Lifestyle Business Mastermind and getting awesome support from my Fast Track coach Shawn Driscoll!!

Every day I’m grateful for my awesome clients and my awesome team and the fact that I have the flexibility and freedom to run this business the way I want to run it!

I would love to hear what YOU are up to (personally or professionally)!

1st VA’s own resident Social Media Specialist, Kathy Colaiacovo, was recently interviewed for the Nova Scotia – Come to Life program website. Kathy provides information about her own business, what she does for some social media clients and what she likes about Nova Scotia.

We have a special interest here at 1st VA, as I was also interviewed for ‘background information’ for the article about Kathy. You can read the article, here.

Also read as Kathy talks about the program, and the interview, here.

We’re so proud of Kathy and delighted she’s part of our 1st VA team!
