It was a sad week for the Virtual Assistant community with the passing of one of our very active leaders and participants in the Virtual Assistant industry. That lady was Janet Jordan, who was very well known amongst most of the VA chat forums and to many other aspiring VAs as well. Janet founded a training organisation to assist new VAs in the development of their businesses and many, many owed Janet so much.
I never met Janet personally but had spoken to her via web conferencing (using microphones on the computer) so knew her voice and we had emailed each other back and forth. She was a very encouraging lady who seemed to give much of her time and shared much of her knowledge and experiences.
If interested in knowing how Janet affected so many people, you can read the posts at her memorial website here. On that site you’ll learn more about her involvement with the industry. KMT

Kathie, thanks for remembering Janet in your blog. I’m in Corpus Christi today for Janet’s service tomorrow. I am still in shock.
When I process through my grief and shock, I know I’ll need to spend some more time reflecting on my business and family balance and focus. This was a true tragedy, and my worry is that the hectic pace of our industry can take its toll.
May Janet’s memory be for a blessing…
