Jennifer

Ok after my VA vent last week, this week has really blowed me away. I have received three contracts this week for project. Can you believe that?

This is so awesome and also makes me happy people are still believing in me and seeing what a great VA I am. I hope to only continue to grow and be one of the best VA’s out there. I struggle with Self-Confidence a lot, but I am making changes to delete this struggle in my life.

Also, I have been reading up on the Coaching World. I really would like to change my niche and market my VA Services to the Coaching Industry. But it seems like this black cloud you know called self doubt is trying to cover up my face. For some reason this black cloud is trying to keep people from seeing what kind of shine I can put in their business. How will I ever make this prohibitor move out of the way and let my VA Skills shine through? I am working on defeating this and researching how I can approach this Industry.

Wish me good luck on my latest adventure. Come on Jen you have it, now get out there and prove it!!

Ok After a good cry this morning.. I felt I needed to come write and get some things out to make me quit feeling this way.

Scott just called and he could tell I wasn’t having a good day. I just started bawling my eyes out to him.

I want to be a successful business woman and I think to myself can I really be? Maybe I am just tamed to take orders from other and not have my own business. My employers always brag about how much of a well-rounded person I am and my work is terrific. Clients have told me this also and have written me testimonials.

So what is wrong with you then Jen? I think I found out today. I am targeting the wrong market with my VA business. I have been marketing to Moms. They are in the mindset of cost worthy. This in returns turns them away from my rates.

But you know what, I have to be successful in my business. Just because I am charging 25 to 30 a hour doesn’t mean by all means that I am bringing that rate home to my family. Listen, business owners have to pay their own taxes, do not get paid for Vacation Time, get free or low-cost Health insurance and etc. All this goes into my rate..

It seems when I get a ping from my website for a potential client here in the last two weeks, I give them a quote request and bam they are gone. You never hear from them again. So as I sat here this morning thinking to myself, what am I doing wrong? Why am I scaring people off? Then it all came to me.. My target market is the wrong one right now. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with moms and they are some of the best clients.
After this though, I think it is time to target a new group and continue with my website updates. Get the word out to small business owners and discuss with them to persuade the reasons why hiring a Virtual Assistant will save them so much money than hiring an onsite employee.

Thanks for listening to me rant. Its always theraputic to me when I write things out. I begin to feel this big stone lifted off my shoulders.

Not sure if anyone visits my blog or not… but hopefully this message will see you well :).

Until we meet again!
