Default Re: Niche necessary?
I look at as we are the pioneers, and we carve out the niches. We take mainstream practices and with new and emerging technology we provide new possibilities. This business of being a VA is the only one I've seen that seems to appreciate and thrive on a varied education and work background. Brick and mortar companies see this as an undesirable trait.

I agree that we need to hone our skills and targeting practices and let them grow from there, but not be settled into a rut that will bite us in the behind later. For some, that is why they transitioned into what they are doing now. For the rest of us, we need to understand that endless possibilities can be detrimental if we don't focus.

Wow, after reading this I hope it doesn't come off as too philosophical!
