Hi everyone! My name is Amanda Saenz. I started my business, Precision Assisting, in July. But ended up having to put everything on the back burner for a couple months while I was getting married. The day I got back from my honeymoon I lost my job as an Executive Assistant. I see this as a blessing in disguise. I can focus 100% on my business now with no full time job while recieving unemployment till I get my first client. So, since I havent been on in a while I need to start fresh with a new introduction and a clear mind. If anyone has any advice on where to go from her I would love it! I hope to talk to you all soon!

Congratulations on your new business endeavor! I wish you all the best too. It will be hard work, but you will receive alot of support from some of the other VA's in the forum.

Hi Amanda, congrats on your wedding AND your new business!
Welcome back to the community - dive right in and make yourself at home, you're in excellent company here.

See you on the boards....

Hi! Congrats on your wedding and welcome! I'm in Dallas too! I guess my biggest advice for you would be to network, network, network. There are a lot of really good networking groups in Dallas that I'm sure you can capitalize on. Let me know if you need anything and feel free to contact me any time!

Amanda! It sounds as if you are in a great mindset to restart your business and I wish you the best of luck! I think the best advice I can give is read everything at VAF that you possibly can in addition to taking advantage of the Free Getting Started as a Virtual Assistant printable checklist.

Keep us posted!
