Home-Based Success Tip -- Surviving The Storm Until The Phone Rings
"Ring - Come On Ring. I sent the letters out over a week ago. My
web site is up and running and I've marketed everywhere. Why
Aren't You Ringing! I know, I'll go away from you and then
you'll ring. Okay, I'm doing something else, I'm not even
thinking of you, now RING." We've all been there. Anxiously
waiting on top of the phone, breaded breath, for that client to
call. We've done our homework. We've got the speech fully
prepared on what to say once they call. Now if they would only
call. "Ring - Come On Ring." Staying motivated can be a
difficult task. With each passing hour, your self-confidence
plummets and soon you doubt why you decided to start a business
in the first place. The thought of begging for your old job back
becomes even more appealing. You're already thinking of how you
can explain to family and friends why the business couldn't
succeed in today's economy. But now is not the time to give up.
Remember-FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!! Here's are some steps to
keep your power: First, don't sit ideally by waiting for the
phone to ring. Keep busy creating new marketing ideas. Plan B
should already in full force and effect. Be creative. Energize
yourself with the creation of a dynamite brochure. Design a new
mailing piece that conveys exactly the benefits you can offer
your clients. Re-read that marketing letter you just sent and
fine-tune it. Look over your website. How can you approve upon
it to better convey the benefits of your business? Search for
new places that you can promote your business. Spending time
online doing research is important
for establishing your VA
business. Make new connections with other VAs and organizations.
Find places to exchange links. Don't be shy. You should be very
confident in your abilities and eager to share that with others.
Read, read, read. Learn anything and everything you can on
starting a business and a VA business in general. Let others
show you how they've done it. Take full advantage of the
Internet as well. Find chats and message boards and talk with
others. Find out how they survived the storm. Start fresh daily
with a renewed determination that you are going to make this
work. Visualize yourself addressing that new client with your
new leather briefcase in hand, portfolio neatly prepared, and
the confidence that you can make a difference in their business.
They need you and you're going to show them exactly just how
much. Finally, you need to believe in yourself under all
circumstances. Write down why you know this business is going to
work. Write down again how you plan to make it happen. With the
right attitude, appropriate skills, extensive research, and
sheer determination, you can and will succeed. That phone will
ring -- and ring -- and ring. And with each ring, you'll be
grateful that you believed in yourself enough to make it happen.
