Is Your Virtual Assistance Business Becoming a virtual assistant is one of the greatest things in the world...
Becoming a virtual assistant also means that you are now navigating the business world on your own. No marketing department, no sales team and certainly no research and development lab. Now, all of those business roles are left solely on your shoulders. Hiring someone to look after each of these areas would be a costly endeavor so most VAs go it alone. Here's the secret... nobody HAS to go it alone. There are people out there who have been building successful virtual assistance businesses for years and who have insight into what works and what doesn't. They can advise you on the best place to find clients and the marketing efforts to avoid spending your money on. They can point you in the right direction when it comes to automation and systems for your VA business. How do I know this? Because I am one of them! How One Virtual Assistant Turned
At that time, virtual assistance was just becoming known and there weren't a whole lot of us out there. People were finally catching on to the idea of hiring an assistant that worked for them virtually so we were able to start building our businesses one client at a time. Since the industry was fairly new, it was really difficult to find guidance or direction at that time. Being a virtual assistant was sort of like a "figure it out as you go" kind of business and on a bootstrapped budget, hiring a business coach was out of the question. Regardless, I forged forward and every day, woke up to make my business a success. Within the first two weeks of opening my virtual doors, I had my first client. I had found this client through Elance (which was very different back then and getting clients from it was worthwhile!) and he ended up being one of the top Internet marketers in the industry at that time. I was in heaven! This client was teaching me things that I didn't know and was letting me in on what I felt were true, Internet "secrets." Secrets that would help my future colleagues in the VA industry. Within six months of opening my virtual assistance business, I had a full practice. I had more clients than I could handle so I brought on my very first team member to help me with overflow work. Then I brought on another and another... until I had an actual team built inside of my business. I worked on automating my systems and perfecting our client intake process while I watched the industry to see where the clients were "hanging out" and what the most lucrative marketing tactics were. I built a course around what I had learned called, "Build Your Virtual Assistance Business" and began teaching VAs how to build successful practices. Now, our company services clients from around the world and we have a team of twenty-eight. The business earns more than I ever dreamed and it allows me to do what I do best and what I am most passionate about -- share my knowledge. Why Your Virtual Assistance Practice There's a great chance that you already have a fairly successful business. Or, maybe you are just starting out. You might even be a veteran in the industry. Whatever your specific scenario, we all need support and guidance when it comes to our businesses. The thing is, we can only see what our own filters allow us to see. We are viewing the world through our perceptions, our attitudes and our beliefs and sometimes, that can get in the way of us seeing the bigger picture and sometimes, a new way of doing things. Your virtual assistance business will benefit from this e-course if you've ever experienced any of the following:
These are just a few of the common complaints that we hear from virtual assistants. I am sure you could add a couple to this list too, couldn't you? Your virtual assistance business can thrive even more if you invest in yourself and your business today. The #1 Reason It Pays Off to For many people, the idea of investing in their business is pretty foriegn. Most people earn income and withdraw that income into their pockets because doing anything else with it feels like a loss somehow. This thinking can be what makes or breaks a business owner. Spending money wisely and investing in your business pays off greatly. Especially when you are paying someone else for Think about it this way... Imagine the toilet in your house breaks. You could spend hours reading up on plumbing and toilet maintenance and then make an attempt at fixing your toilet OR you could hire a plumber and have them come in to fix it for you. The first option is going to need your time on the learning side and the time spent figuring it out versus just sitting back and letting an expert do it for you. The #1 reason it pays off to get business advice and guidance is because your time is valuable. If you are always stuck in "figuring it out" land, you will never move into a place where you can just focus on what you do best. Investing in yourself and your business is worth it because you can get things done faster, better and quicker without breaking your bank.

The new found freedom you feel when you sit down at your computer and plan out your own day and the sense of accomplishment you get when one of your clients sends you a glowing thank you e-mail is unlike anything else. Often, these feelings will be completely different than they were in the "real world" when you had a career.
I started my own virtual assistance practice back in 2004.
