***STRESS
***
Is this you?
Hiring a Virtual Assistant
really is an instant stress reliever ... but if you're still thinking
about it, here's some silly de-stressing tips to tide you over ...
-
When someone says "Have a nice day," tell them
you have other plans.
-
Fill out your tax forms using Roman Numerals.
-
Use your MasterCard to pay your Visa and
vice-versa.
-
Stare at people through the tines of a fork and
pretend they're in jail.
-
Make up a language and ask people for
directions.
-
Make a list of things to do that you've already
done.
Seriously, though, stress
can be a very debilitating condition and if you are a sufferer, there
are many ways you can keep it under control. This helpful link on
Managing Stress will tell you
more. |

Don't flush your
money!
There have been a few changes to
virtual-assistan ce.com
in recent weeks, including functions to make the site more
user-friendly.
And there's more to come, so
visit often!
One resource, which is proving very popular is a form that allows
you to work out the true cost of your employees, taking every
imaginable factor into consideration.
If you have a strong stomach (and no heart complaints!), follow this
link … shocking stuff!

National Insurance
rise - the facts
The
Chancellor has recently announced a 1% rise on National Insurance,
and I decided to research a bit into the effects it would have. The results I came across were
extremely disturbing. The costs to the individual are obvious;
however, it appears that businesses will be taking the main fall.
Predictions by the British Chamber of Commerce show that this rise
will add thousands of pounds to the average company’s payroll, and
in an effort to keep afloat, many
organisations
will find themselves having to decide between making staff cuts or
cutting spending in other areas, such as investment or research. In
order to get all the facts about how this rise will affect you,
visit the Inland Revenue link below:

Reach the world
If you've visited
virtual-assistance.com
recently, you may have noticed a powerful new tool that allows
foreign visitors to browse the site in their language.
AltaVista's Babel Fish Translation Service allows you to keep the
entire layout of your page, but with all the content completely
translated. You can also input a block of text into the
specialised fields on their site for translation either to or from a
variety of different languages. And what's more, this is a
completely FREE service. You don't have to sign-up for
anything, and you can use it as often as you like. Enjoy!
Give it a go!
Thanks for your time; hopefully you enjoyed this
first edition of the Virtual Assistance Newsletter! If you have
any comments or suggestions, or would like to contribute information to
an upcoming edition, please

Kindest regards
Nicola Clark
