Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received.
Nikita launched Simply Virtual in 1997, when the term "virtual assistant" was practically unheard of. After a trying divorce, she worked outside the home for a while, but wanted to do what she loved . . . AND still give her all to her young boys. (Joshua, Adrian and Bryant are now 13, 16 and 20.)

As a single mom, Nikita needed to solidify her income almost immediately. Hey, they say necessity is the mother of invention! She says, "I marketed my butt off . . . and, it didn't take long before Simply Virtual stabilized and began to grow."

Today, Simply Virtual offers the same opportunity to other women. The company employs five full time Virtual Assistants - each working from the comfort of their own home. Together, they support nearly 25 professional speakers, corporate and sales executives, business coaches and writers - with an assortment of marketing & administrative support needs. The team helps Simply Virtual clients "do more with less" by freeing them to focus the activities that generate income.

Nikita also recently launched, It's a Smart Decision!â„¢ (http://www.itsasmartdecision.com), a virtual productivity coaching & consulting service, to help work at home professionals, geographically dispersed teams and other "virtuals" learn to increase productivity and balance home & work in the unique work environment we call home.
