I haven't actually started my VA practice yet, and didn't intend for that to be my primary line of business. I just started an AMC (Association Management Company) to manage non-profit trade organizations. A board member for one of my client organizations started his own business last year and has experienced such success that he has to have some admin help NOW! He is a turnaround practitioner (helps businesses in distress) and a part-time CFO for companies that are large enough to need a CFO, but too small to hire one full-time. Here's the catch - he needs help, but he doesn't know what someone else can help him do.
I am SO excited to have found this forum! I can't believe the wealth of information that is to be found here and I dig into it and get ideas on how I can help my client!
Welcome! Congrats on finding your first potential client! This site is a fantastic source of information. You will learn so much just from browsing through the various threads. What part of Alabama are you from? I am in the Birmingham area. I wish you the best of luck in both of your new ventures!
I'm getting geared up to launch and will be primarily targeting small businesses and entrepreneurs to start. What about you? I am so excited to see someone else from this area here. I'm actually in Hoover. I have not come across anyone else from this area yet--not to say they are not around, I just haven't had any contact as of yet. I'm looking forward to being able to connect more!
Well, I am not targeting anybody, really, because the clients I am taking on have come to me and asked for help because they know me. I think I really want my primary line of business to be association management.
I am looking forward to connecting more, too. I have had one potential client ask me about certain services that I'm not really going to be set up to provide, so it's good to have the possibility of someone else in this area to refer people like that to. Let's keep in touch as we figure out how all this works!
Elizabeth is right, there is so much information on here it's not funny.
I reckon you could probably set up your whole business just by using VAF's resources and information and picking member brains!
Hello Rachel! Welcome! You will be amazed at the plethora of information found here, and all of the wonderful folks who are so willing to help! Good luck with your association management business--have fun here!
Hello from Alabama!
I'm actually in Hoover. I have not come across anyone else from this area yet--not to say they are not around, I just haven't had any contact as of yet. I'm looking forward to being able to connect more!
