Maintaining an average of 70 - 90 active listings at all times, Janet Stockton of RE/MAX 100 in Commerce, MI is easily one of Michigan’s most prolific top producers. However, when I first met her at a recent VA workshop in Detroit she was getting only 2 - 3 hours sleep a night and literally "hated" her life! Here is the story on how Janet got her life back in just a few hours.

Dear Michael,

I just wanted you to know that my progress since embracing the Virtual Assistance concept has been phenomenal! I've hired on a wonderful VA, Kim Hughes of Creative Business Concepts. Another unexpected advantage of my new knowledge - I've taken my current office assistant and turned her into a VA!

At first my assistant was, understandably, a little concerned -- but now she's quite pleased and it's working well for both of us! I'd never even thought about it as a possibility before. My "assistant-turned-VA" does all the detail work she used to do onsite and Kim handles new tasks to free up my own time. Kim maintains my listings, works on my new site, updates the pictures, and uploads virtual tours. She's even designing the seller and buyer page for me.

I was really having a problem with my previous Web site by Advanced Access. Kim recommended Best Image (www.bestimage.com) and since taking her advice, I couldn't be happier!

My new site permits instant listings. This means that I can take my laptop to a listing appointment, take a digital picture, plug in my computer and upload the listing for the client onsite! My listing clients get immediate, visible gratification.

This site went online February 28th and I was averaging 40 hits a day one week later and had two new listings and two A+ buyers (ready, willing, and able to buy right now - all we have to do is sign) as a direct result. All this in ONE WEEK!

If I hadn't gone to your class, and if you had not recommended I find a VA, I wouldn't have found Kim, I wouldn't have this fantastic new site, my existing assistant would still be onsite, and I'd still be pulling my hair out trying to access and upload information to my old site.

My husband, who is my business partner, was apprehensive about this entire scenario. Now even he's sold! My clients - our sellers -- are also thrilled with this new site. I received over thirty phone calls in the first week complimenting the new site. I couldn't have done it without you!

Thank you for everything!

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Janet found her VA Kim the same day as the workshop. Three weeks later I received another message from her that she has now delegated 75% of her "overwhelm" to her VAs and was receiving 8-10 hours of sleep each night -and loving it!)

Janet, it is stories like yours that make my life as a speaker and writer so meaningful and satisfying. Congratulations again on your new found "life" and for sharing the secrets of that success!

Because Janet is our success story of the month, she will receive her choice of either one of my two latest books, or a full year's subscription to the incredible IMPREV.net online multimedia marketing tools service.

Remember, even if your story isn't chosen you still win because you get to see how other top performers do it. Besides, you can always try again!
