    This course is a must for anyone who wants to think about becoming an executive VA. But that's not all---this is a guide to good business practices, common-sense daily action that will ensure success, and how to get and keep clients. The coach has been in business for herself for over twenty years, and she knows what she is talking about. There's a no-nonsense tone in the course, one that says, "if you do this, you will win. If not, you're out." I like that because I don't have time for fluff. Like all the courses on FreeU that I've seen so far, this one is a winner. Thank you, FreeU!

    This provides a useful overview for people who are thinking about becoming an EVA. The "Day in the Life" examples are helpful to determine if this is a role you would like or not. I appreciated the discussion of workplace culture and the real-life observations about working with clients. I wish there was an effort to stop talking about EAs as gals, ladies, etc., even thought most are women, there are men who do this job well, or who consider it but turn away because they think it's not a job for a man.
