Kathie Thomas




Kathie Thomas is the founder of A Clayton's Secretary, and she developed Australia's first virtual assistant network back in 1996. This is an extremely highly regarded network of virtual assistants.

When I first wanted to work from home in a secretarial capacity (although VAs specialise in so many other areas too) I found Kathie's network and was able to expand my business through joining the group. Job leads (businesses seeking VA assistance) come through the network and if it's in your niche area of expertise you may secure clients that way. This is how I built up my client base dramatically.

Oh and just because A Clayton's Secretary, Kathie's Network is in Australia, she has worldwide virtual assistant membership, so it's not restricted to just Australian VAs. And job leads can be suitable for overseas VAs too.

Virtual Assistant Training

Kathie who is a Master Virtual Assistant has also developed an online virtual assistant coaching program.

The course will take 10 weeks to complete, if you do the weekly lessons during the week they arrive. It is expected that you would spend 3-5 hours per week going through the material and doing the required research.

Virtual Assistant Certification

If you're intersted in obtaining virtual assistant certification, then Kathie Thomas can also provide that for financial members of her VA Network.

This is at a cost (which is a business tax deduction for you) and is worthwhile. It's hard enough being taken seriously in your home business and a VA accreditation/certification proves to your clients that you are a committed business owner and are serious and capable in your business.

Visit Kathie's Accredited Secretaries Online (ASO) Accreditation Program for further details, prerequisites, etc.

Worth More Than Rubies

Kathie has also written a book called Worth More than Rubies, The value of a work at home mum.

Kathie..."The desire of many women around the world is to be at home with their family and to continue contributing to the household income. Worth More Than Rubies is exactly about that, with life lessons drawn from the Proverbs 31 Woman who was both a business woman and a work at home mum - she was either ahead of her times or we're going full circle!"

A great gift idea!
