Creating a Service Mentality in Your Virtual Assistance Practice

Why is  it that you decided to be a virtual assistant?  For many, being virtual assistant is a great way to use top-notch organizational skills to make a decent living online.  But, is that enough?  I like to think that in a small way my actions to help my clients ripple out to allow them to help people.  My clients are a diverse group ranging from communications consultants to sleep and overhwelm coaches — but they have a common goal of helping people to make their lives better in some way.

Having the attitude that I am serving my clients to help them serve others gives my purpose and energy in my work with them.  I honestly believe that the intention with which work is done is vitally important.  It affects the qe a uality of your work.  When I launched my Tame the Internet Monster class last year,  Stephanie McWilliams interviewed me about the elements clients need to launch a business online.  The call covers the basic mistakes that people make, but also, toward the end, we have a very good discussion of what it means to be an entrepreneur whose primary goal is to help others.

Give it a listen, and let me know what you think…
