For the next in our series of bootstrap profile links from BootStrapMe.com for the Christmas/Hanukah, the story of virtual assistant Denise Aday and Aday VA Solutions.
Back in 2006, Denise was laid off from her job, something many more readers may unfortunately be familiar with this Holiday season:
· A dream come true. Though many might not react to loosing a job in this way, Denise saw it as an opportunity, and perhaps the nudge she needed to get into entrepreneurship · Looking for a niche. She chose a business in a going field that fit her existing skills and cost little to get started. · The VA boom. Denise wasn’t alone in her venture. Outsourcing of assistant services has become an efficient way to save time and money worldwide. · The ultimate bootstrap. Denise needed little money to get started. She had almost no overhead working from home and some overtime and a severance package her husband had received kept her going until her launch. · The next new thing. Her new venture has become part of a new trend of outsourcing and is not only a bootstrap business but a tool for other entrepreneurs seeking to outsource functions and get rid of overhead.
