Just joined VAF and really excited about becoming a part of something which is just for us VAs. I'm new in the business, approximately 9 months and am hoping to get lots of hints and tips about how to make a successful VA business. I've learned quite a bit already (massive learning curve) but it will be good to get into conversations with others who are sharing my experiences.
Thank you Lily and Tracy for your support. Really looking forward to making some VA friends. Did you find when you started that people didn't understand what it was you were trying to achieve. Depends where you are from, but here in North Wales I still sometimes get "VA what's that?"
Lyn, I ALWAYS get asked what a VA does! I struggle at the moment to narrow down how to explain it, but I'm looking to work on an elevator pitch shortly so that I can become really succint at explaining what I do AND how I can help whoever I'm speaking to.
Lyn! This forum is a great site for speaking to others in the industry and to bounce ideas around. There are some fantastic people here willing to help. Good luck with your business!!
PS: I refer to myself as an administrative consultant, people find it a bit less confusing but each to their own
Re: Hi I'm Lyn from North Wales (UK)
This forum is a fabulous resource for all VAs, new and experienced. We look forward to getting to know you.
