This weekend I’ve been thinking quite a bit about my business, my blog, and where I want to take both of them. I’ve met (both in person and virtually) many VAs and I’m trying to decide where I fit within the occupation. I do traditional administrative-type tasks (like data entry, transcription, travel arrangements, etc.) but I also do tasks like writing, editing, proofreading, etc.
For a long-term goal, I want to be a “cooperative thinker” with my clients, I don’t want to do task by task projects. I want to work side-by-side with my clients and find solutions to their needs. I want to be able to be a resource to other VAs on building their business to what they want it to be, whatever that is. I want to be an expert VA, not necessarily someone who can flawlessly create a spreadsheet or create an awesome PowerPoint presentation, but one who is an expert on the industry.
Lofty goals? Sure. But just by writing them down, I’m one step closer to achieving them.
Watch this blog as I chronicle my successes (and hopefully not too many failures!) as I build my business.
Stay tuned.
