		<description><![CDATA[Simply Virtual is flooded with resumes from people all across the country who want flexibility and desire to make their own rules.  It makes the job that much harder, to wade through the many well-intentioned, corporate trained folks who rarely consider how they might feel after cooking under the pressure of isolation, results focused productivity standards and stress that accompanies a typical work at home role.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If it were possible, delegation would be my answer for everything. Cooking, exercise, brushing my teeth . . . Oh, Jeeves? My good man, would you come here? Hmm, what if we could delegate childbirth? I guess that'd be called surrogating, not delegating.  Seriously though, I use any and all available resources to make "the magic" happen.  Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying dump all your workload on some poor unsuspecting employee. I'm merely suggesting that you focus on what you like. What you do well. Those areas where you are practically guaranteed NOT to procrastinate. I mean really, who procrastinates when it's time to open a Christmas present or cash a nice fat bonus check? Not I. And I'll bet, not you either.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I happened across a local magazine article entitled "How Newcomers are Making This a New City."

The article made me think about the dynamic of adding new members to virtual teams.  Whether your virtual "team" is a few service providers who have only you (the client) in common, a group of geographically dispersed help desk or call center representatives or a burgeoning virtual assistant practice, growth can certainly shake things up.]]></description>
