My Virtual Adventure

This is a story about my Virtual Assistant business, ExecuStrive.  An unusual name to be sure - how did I create this name?  Well, it was a lot of hard work. Making lists and lists of words, thinking of word combos, descriptive words, unusual words was all part of the process.  I emailed my friends, family, business networking friends and several virtual assistant online forums for feedback.

Nothing but nothing just "clicked" in my head.  So I went to a business coach to ask for help as a sounding board for my business name.  We talked several times, he sent me information to help me think the process through in a different way then we talked again.  I described the words I lists as my favorite and suddenly - he came up with the combo "new" word ExecuStrive.  Execu , the shortened version of executive since I wanted to work with micro business owners in a similar way that admins work in the corporate world.  Strive which described the EFFECT of what I do - give the owner time to do what they do best and grow their company.
