Well, I haven’t exactly been keeping up on my blog. I plan to do better – honest. So much has happened since 2007!
Just 5 weeks ago, I gave birth to a baby girl. A week later, we moved to Mobile, Alabama from El Paso, Texas! Certainly an adventure – that I will NEVER attempt again!
But moving has made me realize something very important and comforting…virtual assistance travels well! Even in the process of moving, I was able to work – and, most importantly, keep up! I still spoke to my clients via email and phone while on the road. It was seamless. My clients had no idea I was in the process of moving until I told them. Now that I am in Mobile, all I will have to do is change my address and my business cards. I have an 866 number so I don’t have to worry about that.
I am so blessed that I have this business. It fits with my life. I am passionate about it and great at it. Anyone out the that has a background in administrative work, has a family, and/or moves a lot should consider this business. It works with you and I am greatful for it.
What a week I am having! In a good way though! Let me start from the beginning….
Back in July, I submitted a press release to my local newspaper(press releases are so important! Do send them out!) about the launch of my business in the area. They ran it at the end of the month. Then, last Monday, the business editor of the paper called me and told me that he wanted to run a story about Virtual Assistants and how they work. He said since I am the only one in the area, he wanted to come by, take some pictures and interview for an article! I was elated! So, on Wednesday, a photographer and the reporter came by and did the story. It ran in Sunday’s paper – on the front page of the business section! I was so happy and excited and my hubby was so proud of me! It was a great opportunity and I was happy to be able to take advantage of it.
Now, it’s Tuesday and I am getting ready to teach a class on Organizing Your Business at the local business resource center tonight! This is an awesome opportunity as well. Things are looking up and I am looking forward to tonight to possibly get more business exposure. Wish me luck!
