A Virtual Perception on iTunes?

February 18, 2009

From time to time I get very nice emails from Virtual Assistants who listen to my podcast. I wanted to personally thank them for their messages – they really mean a lot. Every so often, I also get a comment or a question. Recently, I received a very nice email from a Virtual Assistant who not only had some very nice things to say, but had a question for me that I thought I would address.

Sharon Rosen of Intelafina asked: “Are your podcasts available through iTunes? I searched the other day and couldn’t find them. I’d love to subscribe via iTunes if they are. I look forward to more podcasts!”

Thank you Sharon for your question!

I am very happy and excited to announce that A Virtual Perception is now on iTunes! You can subscribe, download and listen to podcasts via the iTunes Store. Listeners can also submit a review of the podcast. Simply search for A Virtual Perception in the iTunes Store.

Thank you Sharon for your email and your questions. I love to hear from listeners of my podcast, it  is nice to know you are out there!

Are You Ready for Tax Time? Episode 12 is Now Online!

February 4, 2009

Are you prepared for the upcoming tax filing season? In the 12th episode of A Virtual Perception, I speak with Rebecka Melson of Virtual Business Services – a virtual assistant company that provides bookkeeping and financial management services to small businesses. Rebecka always provides such valuable tax and financial information on the Virtual Assistant Forums, and she does so in a way that isn’t confusing.

In my interview with Rebecka, we will discuss such things as whether to prepare your taxes yourself or hire a professional, the explanation of what 1099 and W9 forms are, as well as, the different types of business entities you can form — like Sole Proprietorship or Limited Liability Company. We also discuss the ever popular topic of deductions and the possibility of being audited!
