Stay in the Game, It’s Almost Your Turn at Bat.

Whew, what a difference a day makes. This is for all of us Virtual Assistants, or any entrepreneur, who has been discouraged and fearful about starting or continuing our business.

I lost a very good retainer client recently. He had been with me almost from the beginning. I felt it coming and he was very gracious about it and hopes to hire me back at some point, but nonetheless, I lost him and the regular income. But, I didn’t loose faith. I feel strongly that I’m in the exact place God wants me to be and the next day I spoke with two potential clients and then someone called, completely out of the blue, for a potentially large project!

Then I was talking with another VA about maybe subcontracting with her, which would be great and later in the day I received a call from a direct referral that she had sent me. That one call (about 15 minutes) resulted in an immediate Five New Clients!! YEA!! They wanted me to start immediately and it is a niche that I have been playing around with for a few weeks. I am so excited! I’ll be assisting Women Entreprenuers and Coaches with their Internet Marketing and building their online presence.

So, no matter what field your in, stay in the game, it’s almost your turn to bat. (Can you tell I’m a former softball player??) Don’t give up…that next client is just around the corner.

Chocolate, Sweet Chocolate

I love Thursdays, because it is almost the weekend and time to spend with my sweet hubby! But today is an especially sweet Thursday because a fellow VA sent me a Sweet Surprise! (Are you gettin’ the picture?)

One of my clients was looking for an additional Virtual Assistant and I recommended a fellow VA that had the specific skills my client was looking for. It proved to be a perfect match and my friend was hired. She was truly grateful and told me that she believed it was a gift from God that she received the job. I was so thrilled for her and her business and the fact that we would be working on some projects together.

Well, today FedEx pulled into my driveway and produced an incredible box of Ghirardellia chocolates!! It was a thank you gift from my fellow VA and I was completed shocked and excited!

Giving and serving others is what we are called to do in this world. It was my pleasure to recommend her. A network group that I belong to says, “Give First…Share Always.” This is a great motto to live by and you might just get chocolate in return!!
