I love to read and I love to learn. And what’s better than reading and learning? Sharing what I’m reading and learning! That’s why I’ve started this Freelancer’s Round-up series. Here you’ll find links to the most helpful posts and resources aimed at freelancers, virtual assistants, and business owners.

So, let’s take a few minutes, grab a cup of coffee, and our laptops and enjoy!

“When we use people’s names, we convey to them that A) we respect them, and B) they’re uniquely important to us. On the flip side, when people hear/see us use their names, they instantly give us more attention, trust, and view us in a more positive light.”

I do love Trello and over at Horkey Handbook they’re sharing 3 ways to work with a virtual assistant using Trello!
