To say that Cindy is a valuable and vital part of my team would actually be an understatement. I have worked with high end professionals before, but Cindy tops them all. I am very demanding of my team and set high expectations. Cindy is the penultimate VA and demonstrates her expertise at every turn.
To say that Cindy is a valuable and vital part of my team would actually be an understatement. I have worked with high end professionals before, but Cindy tops them all. I am very demanding of my team and set high expectations. Cindy is the penultimate VA and demonstrates her expertise at every turn.
One of the aspects I like most about Cindy is that I can give her a project and with little or no guidance from me she can create massive results on a consistent basis. Without a doubt, I absolutely, positively could not run my successful business without her assistance and expertise. --Stephen Fairley, CEO, The Rainmaker Institute TheRainmakerInstitute.com
When I met Cindy a few years ago, I knew immediately that she was a Virtual Assistant to 'set up and take notice' of. Having built her VA business from scratch, Cindy knows what it take to build and maintain a successful business. But more importantly, as Managing Partner of the Multiple Streams Team she has an innate understanding of what both clients and VAs are looking for. Having spoken to literally hundreds of potential clients in the past 3 years, Cindy has taken her own keen sense of how to work successfully with clients and create a set of simple and effective tools that any VA can apply in their own business.
I recommend this book to anyone who is starting a VA business or struggling with their existing business ... it's time to take control of your success and Virtually Successful will help you do that. --Tina Forsyth, OnlineBusinessManager.com
Cindy does a brilliant job of walking her talk, and creating a highly useful book, targeted to her niche. Virtual assistants, and those aspiring to be, need this guide to build a thriving practice. --- -Pamela Slim, author, Escape from Cubicle Nation
I've been a VA since January 2006 so I've read my fair share of VA books before. When I received my copy of Virtually Successful I was convinced it was 'just another VA book'. Imagine my surprise when I walked away armed with a bunch of information to implement and use in my business! Most of it was stuff I already knew but it was written in a way that suddenly made the 'light bulb' go off inside my head.
Whether you are a seasoned VA, beginner VA or someone thinking about starting a VA business I recommend Virtually Successful. The one thing I truly enjoyed about the book is that Cindy doesn't just share her story and say this is what you need to do. She provides exercises to do and checklists to follow.
Thanks to Cindy I've walked away with more confidence about my VA business. Confidence that I haven't felt in a long time! Thanks Cindy. --- Tishia Lee, TishiaSavesTime.com/
Cindy Greenway's book, Virtually Successful was full of great tips and advice. As a Virtual Assistant, still in my first year of business, it was great to confirm some of the things I am already doing well. Additionally, it pointed out area's I lack in, or can improve in, along with resources, making it easy to bookmark sites to do further research. The workbook type exercises really give you an oportunity to disect your VA business and see where you need to spread your time and energy. The book inspired me to "go at there and get'em" using new avenues and approaches in addition to the paths I already travel. Great Job, Cindy! --- Jennifer Smith, Eco Office Gals
Virtually Successful is a fantastic book for anyone looking to create a VA business or improve their existing VA business. The information inside is great; the exercises and checklists are the real meat of this book and where you'll get your biggest bang for your buck...if you do them and take them seriously.
Most interesting to me was the My Story portion, where I got to learn about how these tips actually worked in practice. It's so refreshing to see someone talk honestly about their successes, and more importantly their failures.
I learned a lot of new things in this book. The Pink Spoon for instance was a completely foreign term to me, but by the time I got done reading this book, I knew I needed to create my "pink spoon" to better focus my services on those that are REALLY interested.
One of the other things I thought was very helpful was the insights for building a VA business OFF-line. You have to master some of these basis in-person skills to be a successful virtual assistant, and this book offers some wonderful tips on how to capitalize on the offline efforts as well as the online.
After reading this book, I feel empowered to start a VA business...and to share this book with all my friends looking to change careers and move into the simple (but not easy) business of being a virtual assistant. --- Phil Gerbyshak, author of the critically acclaimed 10 Ways to Make It Great!, makeitgreatguy.com.

Get out your paper and ink, this is one book you're going to want to print and keep at your finger tips! I've read a lot of books over the past 3 years,but this has got to be the most valuable, resourceful book I've gotten my hands on. I believe Cindy has covered every client/VA question there is under the sun. She provides potential questions with solutions and even offers guidance on how to get and keep your VA business filled with your target clients. I am very grateful for this book. Thank you for all of your hard work! --- Stephanie Fish Buckeye, BuckEyeVA.com
Virtually Successful is a must for any VA who wants to develop and maintain healthy client relationships. As a communication/relationship expert, I was floored to see that I was missing some key components that I needed to be implementing right away, before I created a revolving door. I so enjoyed the exercise section at the end of each chapter as well as the useful resources in the appendix of the book. And let me just say that the Business and Marketing Mindset factors were right on target. ---LaTara Ham-Ying
OMG! This book rocks!
Building a VA business does not have to be overwhelming! If you want it to be overwhelming, frustrating and you want to make your own mistakes then DON'T read this book.
If you would rather not cry yourself to sleep while laying in the fetal position each night, then you got to read Cindy's book "Virtually Successful". Why? Because, Cindy spills the beans on the mistakes she made while building her VA business and she doesn't leave you hanging. She generously shares what worked for her in the end and how you too can attract and keep your VA clients. She gives you the goods on finding the right clients for you, where to find them, how to get to know them, how to be marketable and how to keep your clients! She answers important questions like 'Wondering why you're not getting hired?''Is this client ideal for you?' and 'Are you invaluable?'.
What makes Cindy's book different from other VA material is that she provides worksheets, exercises, assessments, client forms and checklists to help you along! These tools are like mini-Cindys coaching you through your business building and client attraction!
If you are a VA, thinking of becoming a VA or thinking of hiring a VA, buy, read and write in this book! You won't be disappointed. --- Sandra De Freitas, Super Tech Coach For The Blogosphere, WordPressBlogsites.com
I was really impressed with the practical insights and savvy marketing principles covered in Cindy Greenway's new book, Virtually Successful! As a marketer myself, I truly appreciated her emphasis on helping Virtual Assistants to adopt a marketing mindset when building their business and client base. Her concept on "Branding You" was spot on as many VAs seek to distinguish themselves from the rest of the pack.
Cindy also shared some very helpful tips on prepping a prospective client for the first call. As business owner who works with a number of different Virtual Assistants, I always appreciate someone that proactively prepares for our upcoming meetings or projects.
Cindy's book is a nice read with very practical exercises to help apply the principles discussed in the chapters. She also offers some valuable grids for determining your ideal client. I would highly recommend this book to any aspiring or existing Virtual Assistant seeking the right tools to effectively build a thriving VA business in 2009! --Craig Cannings, VAClassroom.com
