Our next guest is Kathy Campbell. Kathy is an entrepreneur as a virtual assistant over at www.TheUnicornSidekick.com. I came across Kathy listing to a Mac Power Users episode (#601: Soup Blasphemy with Kathy Campbell). I had been hesitant about using a VA given most VAs tend to be on Windows based PCs. But I liked what I heard about what Kathy does for her clients and that she is Mac based. Since much of her clients' work is web-based, it does not matter if you are an Apple or a Windows user. Full Disclosure: I hired Kathy as my VA. Maybe after hearing this episode, you will too!

Join Kathy and I as we discuss the following three questions:

1. What are three pieces of hardware/software attorneys can use to better organize their law practice on their computers,

2. What are three pieces of software/hardware that attorneys can use with VA’s to better assist themselves, and

3. What are three ways you, as a VA, can assist attorneys with the mundane admin work.

Enjoy!
