Stage two of the space transformation for Tilda Virtual Services new home.
Ethics in business
April 28, 2008 by Kylie Short · 2 Comments
Time and time again, I hear stories of friends, clients, acquaintances and strangers all being taken for a ride simply because they possess ethics and manage their businesses accordingly.
Be it someone purchasing a domain and arguing with international trademark lawyers about it, saying that the international trademark doesn’t apply in Australia or someone purchasing the graphics and designs for websites and passing those websites off as their own, all these people have something in common. A severe lack of conscience and ethics.
This is really bad for the Internet in general on so many levels. As a service provider who comes in AFTER an experience such as the ones above, it makes my task so much harder. I have to go all out to convince them that not all online businesses are like that. That there are actually people making an honest living from the Internet. These business owners are scarred in a way and never approach dealing on/through the Internet the same.
I’m not saying that I’m perfect and that I never make mistakes with my clients. I do. The difference is that when I do make a mistake, I own up to it and try to do my damnest to appease that client.
Many of the Virtual Assistant organisations that I belong to have a code of ethics. I’m proud to say that I abide by them to the fullest and that I also have my own code of ethics.
So for those of you that have been taken for a ride by unscrupulous Internet business owners, contact me today!! I’d love to show you what working with an ethical Virtual Assistant is like.

Ok so here are the pictures as promised. After you stop laughing just remember that we are painting the walls and we’ll dress it up all nice and pretty.
And here is what we are moving to….
The main work area
Meeting Space
More office space
So there you have it. Currently a very retro looking office space about to undergo a major facelift.
Tilda Virtual Services is MOVING!

When I began my business I had no way of knowing that I would end up where I am today. I began with the mentality that it was just another job and it is now so much more than that. I’m a business owner with multiple clients, all of whom I adore and I have an employee and associates to work with me. Unfortunately, we’ve outgrown my home office and if you’ve seen the pictures, you know that it took a lot to do that.
So I’m very excited and scared to announce that we will be moving into an office space, downtown Bathurst NSW.
Now the space isn’t perfect and it needs updating (while retro is good, I don’t want visitors to think they are back in the 70’s) but it’s going to take us through the next 5 years. After that, who knows, maybe I’ll buy a building and expand.
I’ve had people ask me, does that still make you a Virtual Assistant? The short answer (no pun intended) is that yes, I am, we are still Virtual Assistants. We do not provide on-site support and we definitely still leverage technology to look after our clients needs and goals. This means we are STILL Virtual Assistants. We’ve just had a location change.
I was hoping to move in a few weeks but the phone line installation has put our schedule behind a week. So stop by and watch the progress as we turn the space into the new home of Tilda Virtual Services.
