Forum on Virtual Assistance 2009 Launches New Site!

February 25, 2009 By Frances Palaschuk Leave a Comment

Yes indeed, the Forum on Virtual Assistance (FoVA 2009) has launched a new WordPress based site. Personally, I think it looks pretty great as I was lucky enough to use my favourite skills to setup the entire site.

Although we did choose the iThemes flexx theme for the core, a lot of customization was done to mold it into it’s own unique FoVA style. Keeping with the yellow and black color scheme made it fun to design the graphics to really stand out.

I also took full advantage of the hot new billboard plugin designed by iThemes to generate the custom thumbnails along the bottom of the site that profile the FoVA 2009 Session Leaders.

The blog certainly enhances the event and will make it easy to post information and resources that will be of benefit to anyone who is attending or thinking about attending the event.

I am really excited to attend FoVA again this year and have been given the opportunity to do a WordPress Workshop – ya! I am so excited to package up and share information on “How To Offer WordPress as a Service“.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the event.

Oh, and all FoVA 2009 Attendees… Don’t forget to Map yourself please.

Social Media Mania on Mommy Millionaire

February 11, 2009 By Frances Palaschuk Leave a Comment

OK, so I am not a millionaire yet however I am a Mommy who is on a serious mission to achieve long term wealth and happiness for my family. And I wanted to share with you one of the most valuable resources that I am using to make my dreams happen!

One of the Mom Entrepreneurs whom I have met through my endless networking efforts and absolutely admire is Kim Lavine, the Mommy Millionaire.

Kim is beyond passionate about her business. She not only has been able to exceed every one’s expectations in her initial business pursuits but she has now gone way above and beyond to help pave the way for other Moms to achieve success.

How does she do it you may ask?

First, she started the “Green Daisy” enterprise where her first feature product was the Wuvit.

Second, she wrote the book “Mommy Millionaire” which clearly lays out her path, challenges, tools and resources she used to bring her business to over a six figure success.

Third, she created the online community “Mommy Millionaire – where dreams become reality”. The mission is to bring together passionate Moms who are either in business or starting a business and are looking for that “safe place” to network, share ideas, and ultimately keep inspired and on track – Your Home On the Web For Creating the Life You Really Want ™.

Fourth, she launched the “Mommy Millionaire Magazine”. Presenting Mom Entrepreneurs such as myself, the unique opportunity to share their expertise and knowledge with the world by contributing valuable content to the Mommy Millionaire Magazine.

Fifth, she attends numerous “Speaking Engagements” with a mission to inspire Mom Entrepreneurs through her strength, energy and powerful words of wisdom and inspiration.
