Okay, so, hey everyone! Long time no chat, right?
Guess what? I've been leveling up my skills and officially finished my Executive Virtual Assistant training! I'm now in that super fun (read: slightly nerve-wracking) phase of waiting for a potential client to ping me. You know, the whole "check your email every five seconds" thing.
Last Monday, I thought I hit the jackpot! A lawyer needed help, which sounded awesome. Now, I'm usually all about seizing opportunities, but I think I might have been a tad too eager. They asked about my experience, and, well, life got in the way. I took a bit too long to reply, and bam! They went with someone else. Lesson learned: even if you're swamped, reply fast.
Then came yesterday's orientation, and let me tell you, it felt like I just entered a high-stakes video game. Apparently, we only get five client matches. Five! It's like having five lives, and if you mess up, game over. Talk about pressure! I was so stressed, I had to take a major time-out. Honestly, I was worried I'd start seeing spreadsheets in my sleep.
And to top it all off? Mercury and Venus are in retrograde, and there was an eclipse. Seriously, the universe was throwing curveballs left and right.
Anyway, I'm trying to stay positive. Maybe that lawyer gig just wasn't the right fit. I'm not giving up on finding my perfect client! I'm itching to get started, especially since, you know, adulting comes with bills, and I'd really like to tackle those one by one.
So, here's to hoping the next email is "the one"! Wish me luck! And if anyone knows a lawyer (or anyone) who needs a super-organized, slightly stressed-out (but totally capable) virtual assistant, send them my way! 😉
