What I like about Enterprising Women, in addition to the first class growth support, is that everyone can find someone at their particular level to discuss challenges with and get motivated by. My business is one of the largest in the community, but I regularly get a boost from meeting other inspirational members, especially as I operate almost entirely in a man’s world.
Real name:
Gail Thomas founded the Virtual PA Company 12 years ago because she needed some secretarial support as she started her consultancy business. Unable to find what would today be called a Virtual Assistant or call answering service, she decided to ‘share’ a secretary. Realising this was the seed of a business model she hired three, leased an office and added a call centre system so that the service could be comprehensive and highly personalised.
