Business growth tips
There is no one size fits all strategy for growing a virtual assistant business. What you should rather have in place is a system that helps you grow. A business is said to be growing when it is able to gradually tick off items on it’s growth list over the years.
On your growth list could be:
- Moving out to a bigger office space
- Hiring subcontractors
- Setting up an agency. You may decide to launch a full social media agency as against serving your clients only, if you are a social media VA.
- Accommodating more clients
- Acquiring more sophisticated business equipment
- Offering more technical services
- E.t.c.
Whatever your growth plan may be, you should plan ahead and create daily action steps that lead you towards achieving it.
