		<title>Learning the VA field</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At Madison College, we are proposing a new certificate to train future Virtual Assistants. It will be an “Advanced Technical Certificate” which means each student has to have a degree first, or have 2 years of work in a related field before beginning this certificate. We would concentrate on teaching students how to run a VA business, and prepare them to be successful. I am working with Rescue Desk for the rest of May to learn everything I can about Virtual Assistants!]]></description>

		<title>What would the dog do?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My pup, Sophie, is the first and only dog I’ve ever had, and she’s everything I’d ever want in a dog. I rescued her from the local shelter a few years ago and, surprisingly, she came fully loaded &#8212; she&#8217;s fully trained,  fully mannered and fully loveable. She is easily the best dog ever.

		<title>Can you afford NOT to have a virtual assistant?</title>
