I get lots and lots and LOTS of enquiries from ladies &#8211; and some men &#8211; wanting to become a VA and asking for advice on how to get started.

Since my last post on whether the ALP intends to move ahead with proposed changes to PSI criteria or not for independent contractors here&#8217;s an update.
Unfortunately, still no news from the ALP&#8217;s Craig Emerson &#8211; and none from my local ALP member for Maranoa either &#8211; despite he was going to &#8220;look into it&#8221; and [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve had a few clients ask me in recent times about voice recognition and whether it would be better (read: more cost effective) for them to use than digital transcription. One of the things I&#8217;ve said to them is that the tech currently has problems handling accents. I share this YouTube video &#8211; shared by [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s not as sexy a headline as the Mining Tax but did you know about the Labor Government&#8217;s proposed changes to personal services income criteria?
