Does living your dream look like you thought it would?
Are you doing what you love?
Is your virtual assistance business filling you with joy or stress? Do you love your clients or do they drive you crazy? Are you offering services that you’re great at and you know you do extremely well? Or are you constantly doubting yourself about the projects you do? Does your target market still fit? Or have you outgrown it?
If your business doesn’t feel good to you, sit back and take a hard look at it.
How’s your target market? You might discover after working as a VA that your original target market doesn’t fit anymore. This can happen. You might get into a few projects and realize you don’t actually enjoy the work like you thought you would. Or, you might have taken on clients outside of your target market that suit you much better.
It’s okay to change your target market! It’s okay to let those energy zapping clients go! It’s hard to imagine when you’re a new VA that you can let a client loose, because you are really enjoying the income, but if it drains you of energy and you hate it, weigh your options. I’ve never had it happen where I’ve let a client go and didn’t get a bigger better one to fill its place. You can always search for subcontracting jobs with other VAs to help fill in any gaps in your regular client work until you make up the hours you ‘let go’.
You might consider reviewing your service list every few months, as well. As you work on different projects for different clients, you’ll find you are always adding skills to your repertoire. At the same time, you’ll discover some services you never want to provide again!
When you’re your own boss, you have the right to change things that aren’t working for you. You’re not someone’s employee anymore – nobody is forcing you to do work you don’t love. Don’t kill your spirit by doing things you don’t love.
You started your business to fulfill your dreams. Is this what you imagined?
