Virtual Assistant -- Can you hack it?

Virtual assistant, don't dare become complacent!

Learn new skills as often as you can. Stretch yourself to look for things that would help a client you have now or things that would appeal to a potential client.

Some wonder how long till that first client gets on the bus. So much depends upon the marketing you've done before you even hung out your shingle. I know some VAs who filled their roster in a month. But, they had been laying groundwork and networking with people who would need and who wanted their services much earlier.

While you wait, if you must, invest time and money (as you can) in your skills. Volunteer if you can because it does keep your hand in. When you have a chance to sit in on a session of an internet or computer skill that will help your target market, jump at it. Then, you won't be playing catch-up when the client calls.

You will be experienced and will be able to hack it.
