December 14=2C 2023=2C Issue #186 ** Hello! ------------------------------------------------------------ Belinda Sandor When starting a business as a Virtual Assistant=2C several scary things co= me to mind. Getting clients is one of them. Fortunately=2C when boiled dow= n=2C the required steps are simple: 1. Talk about your work in a clear=2C simple way (more here (https://theva= connection.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3D329129029ab35cbb26ae77f1c&= id=3D59e89aa14d&e=3Da9cedb2a61) ). 2. Create your most valuable asset: your email list (more here (https://th= evaconnection.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3D329129029ab35cbb26ae77f= 1c&id=3Dbc9394b1e1&e=3Da9cedb2a61) ). 3. Tell everyone you know about your business (more here (https://thevacon= nection.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3D329129029ab35cbb26ae77f1c&id= =3D5f98c7a357&e=3Da9cedb2a61) ). 4. Stay in touch with your network consistently (more about here (https://= thevaconnection.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3D329129029ab35cbb26ae7= 7f1c&id=3D49dc4e18a1&e=3Da9cedb2a61) ). That=E2=80=99s it. There=E2=80=99s nothing on the list that=E2=80=99s diff= icult to understand or difficult to do. Granted=2C it=E2=80=99s time-consu= ming =E2=80=A6 but not difficult. So=2C if it=E2=80=99s that simple=2C why is getting clients a problem for= so many people? 1. They=E2=80=99re afraid to try. Like anything else=2C starting a busines= s or networking is scary when we=E2=80=99re doing something for the first= time. It's human nature to avoid risky activities. So=2C instead of focus= ing on what will work=2C we focus on what won=E2=80=99t to justify our ina= ction. This is you if you=E2=80=99ve ever uttered one of these phrases: =E2=80=9C= I don=E2=80=99t know anyone who needs a VA. I can=E2=80=99t charge that mu= ch. No one will pay me to help them. I don=E2=80=99t have the right skills= or experience. I can=E2=80=99t [fill in the blank].=E2=80=9D 2. They=E2=80=99re worried about what people will think. First=2C I want y= ou to know that people are not paying the close attention to you that you= imagine. They=E2=80=99re too busy thinking about themselves. And for thos= e voicing their opinions about your new business=2C it=E2=80=99s important= to consider the source and the intent. The people closest to you - your spouse=2C mother=2C best friend=2C relati= ves=2C want to protect you. So when they see you doing something they cons= ider risky=2C they will try to talk you out of it. Again=2C human nature.= Another scenario that might happen is that people will be jealous of you= taking steps toward your dream because this shines a light on the fact th= at they are not. 3. They overcomplicate it. Does this sound familiar? =E2=80=9CI can=E2=80= =99t tell anyone about my business because my website is not done=2C and I= can=E2=80=99t create my website until I get a client so I can afford it.= I will wait until that happens before I send out my announcement or atten= d any networking events." That might sound logical and like a good plan=2C but it=E2=80=99s not. And= if you=E2=80=99re waiting for everything to be perfect or to feel ready= =2C be prepared to keep waiting for a long=2C long time. In the end=2C getting clients comes down to mindset. If you believe in you= rself=2C take action consistently=2C and don=E2=80=99t let fear get the be= st of you=2C trust me=2C you will have all the clients you can handle.

Tuesday=2C December 12=2C 2023 at 10:30 AM ET ------------------------------------------------------------ Imposter Syndrome is that terrible little voice in your head telling you t= hat you=E2=80=99re not good enough=2C you don=E2=80=99t have what it takes= =2C and you=E2=80=99ll never amount to anything.
