Just starting my own VA business and at ground zero. Any advice would be welcome.

I am of retirement age and just was "downsized" from the job which I thought would be my last. I still feel the need to work and thought this would be a wonderful opportunity to put my skills to work for ME! So this is the first day of the rest of my career!

Where do I start? What do I do? How do I get my name out there and start a client base?

HELP! And thank you all in advance!
