Success. Are you Ready?
What if, just what if, you wake up one morning to find yourself inundated with inquiries for your product. What if your inbox was full with requests for your services. What if you landed a huge client...the huge client? And your ideal client at that!
As a small business owner, are you ready? Sure, you've done well so far, business is trucking right along, you're making money, you're happy with the way things are going. And then out of the blue (or not!), you're business takes off overnight. Massively. You have more business than you could dream of. It's fantastic! It's what you had envisioned from the get go!
But are you set up for handling it? Do you have a plan for this scope of success? Are you ready to move on it now?
Can you imagine if you had to say, "Sorry, your order is just to big for my company." "Sorry, we can't handle the volume." Can you imagine?
So what's your plan for success?
This concept kept me awake all night.
I have a potential client who is interested in outsourcing various special projects and niche marketing initiatives to us. Also the majority of her administrative projects. The scope of this project is huge. I quite enjoy her, I like how she operates, I like how she does business, we have a great rapport, I can see us working very well together, it could be a wonderful partnership. I'm surprised an opportunity of this magnitude presented itself so early in the business. Pleasantly surprised, yet still surprised none the less (why do we always think we have to work ourselves almost to the bone, and slave away 25 hours a day for any sort of success? That sounds like another topic for another day!).
How am I going to handle this workload? What are my plans for this sort of success, that may very well happen ages before I had envisioned?
Well, one thing in my plan is to outsource! When I started this business, I started social networking right away and made some great connections, built some great relationships with other virtual assistants around the globe. This is the perfect opportunity for me to outsource some of my own administrative tasks that are taking up valuable time that would better be served building relationships with clients and potential clients. It will also free me up to take on more work.
Another plan is to have a multi virtual assistant (Multi-VA) business. Partner with another virtual assistant/assistants to be able to handle the workload not just of this potential client, but to continue to grow my business. To take on more clients. And again, I've made some fantastic contacts in the industry, some extremely talented virtual assistants are out there, and I'm looking forward to partnering with some of them as the need arises, to have a long-term working relationship.
Not just for my business to grow, but for their business to grow, and for your business to grow. It's all about how we can better serve our clients.
So what's your plan? Success may be closer than you think!
