A13 never work with clients you have going to have major fights with. I only work with clients I like #adminchat 11:01 AM May 24th via TweetChat
@Beks76 A13 absolutely, otherwise, they are not worth working with #adminchat 11:00 AM May 24th via TweetChat in reply to Beks76
RT @HelenStothard: A12 how you convey your message is crucial, dont sell them price, sell them a solution, and solve their pain #adminchat 10:59 AM May 24th via TweetChat
A12 However, if they are understanding about outsourcing, then there are few overheads for the client and lots of flexibility #adminchat 10:58 AM May 24th via TweetChat
Q12 - actually if a client likes control and someone in the office, you are never going to persuade them to use a VA #adminchat 10:57 AM May 24th via TweetChat
A11 - be true to yourself and to your customers. Be honest, upfront and don't take on rubbish. And get rid of bad clients #adminchat 10:56 AM May 24th via TweetChat
@HelenStothard A10 I agree, but also you should play to your strengths and not take on stuff you hate #adminchat 10:54 AM May 24th via TweetChat in reply to HelenStothard
@SunniePaderanga A10, I usually work with telecoms/IT bods, but they are all different shapes and sizes #adminchat 10:52 AM May 24th via TweetChat in reply to SunniePaderanga
@lucybrazier I allow about an hour a day, I prefer to eat a frog, one bite at a time #adminchat 10:50 AM May 24th via TweetChat in reply to lucybrazier
A9, I ditto @Helenstothard says.... you can't buy self respect and confidence. That is what being your own boss means #adminchat 10:49 AM May 24th via TweetChat
A9 - I like to think so, but because of the way self employment is structured, you can earn more, by not earning as much. #adminchat 10:47 AM May 24th via TweetChat
A8 and make sure you keep your own books up to date. Very important to know the bottom line at all costs #adminchat 10:46 AM May 24th via TweetChat
A8 - whilst I am not a fan of these a business plan/marketing plan so that you know what you want to do #adminchat 10:45 AM May 24th via TweetChat
A8 equipment, PC, printer, broadband and phone #adminchat 10:45 AM May 24th via TweetChat
@VAVelocity that is true... as well #adminchat 10:43 AM May 24th via TweetChat in reply to VAVelocity
A7 - I live in my ivory tower.. so exercise is essential - I have to get dragged out sometimes #adminchat 10:42 AM May 24th via TweetChat
