I just found this forum and I love the way it is designed and with nice colors!! Easy to navigate and all! :0) I'm from BC, Canada and I might just have two potiental clients!! Who knows? We are emailing and finding out details and seeing if it would work for both of us...Ohhh - I hope I get it!! :0) I'm so glad to have found out about VA world!! I have my children and I have been looking to find work from home that I would enjoy doing and have skills in. Well - imagine that! Being a virtual assistant is like a dream come true! I enjoy doing work similar to that of a secretary...including book keeping/invoicing since I enjoy working with numbers. On top of that - I get to be home with my children instead of a babysitter or daycare (blech). Hope to get to know you all!! Yvonne

If it's been a while a gentle follow up is in order! There's nothing wrong with gracefully pursuing clients you're especially interested in working with __________________ Stuck in startup?

Umm, the first potiental client, it has been four days and my second one only yesterday. How do I know how long to wait before sending that gentle follow-up? Thanks so much for asking me that and letting me know about the follow up... Yvonne :0)
