Sometimes I’m thinking about going to a networking event…

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

Hey gorgeous,

I’m definitely not a big crowd kind of person.

Every year, we have a 3-day carnival in the village where I live.

There are some rides, but the main thing is drinking. When I was 16, I could drink (in 2014 they changed it to 18), but no way that I was setting foot in the bar where ALL THE PEOPLE were.

I spent my evenings going over and over again on one of the rides with my friend, who now lives in Corpus Christi, Texas, btw.

We were the only ones because the kids who normally rode it were already in bed.
​

And still, I have a hard time in big crowds.
Most of the time, I have no idea what to talk about.

​

That’s why I have never been to a networking event. Even though I sometimes think about it.

​

Maybe I will sometimes. When the right event comes into my universe, or I have someone to go with.

I’m writing this email so you can get to know me better, but also to let you know that you don’t have to go to networking events to sign clients.

​

I’m a successful virtual assistant, and not a single client found me via a networking event.
​

I used my own network, social media, and now most of my clients come to me through referrals.
​

Love,
Marit

Hey Reader, When I just started my business in 2017, I thought I needed sooooo many clients to make enough money. I saw myself working 40 hours plus a week. That would have been the case if I had kept working as a general VA who only did projects. The moment I decided to pivot my business to being a tech & ops specialist was the moment I started signing clients who wanted to work with me month after month and wanted to pay good money for it. As a tech & ops specialist, you definitely can work...

Hey Reader, When I just started out as a VA, I thought I needed to work 40 hours a week. Because I thought that was the only way to make a full-time income. I spent all my time searching for clients, and if I wasn’t doing that, I felt guilty. I was making no money at all until I signed my first client. But she only needed me for a project, so while I worked on her online course, I also had to look for new clients. Maybe you know this feeling: you’re so happy you’ve found a client, but after...
