The more I VA the more I learn. Isn’t that the way with every job/profession though? I have learned a lot in the last 4 months and not all of it has been good. But, I am bound and determined to learn from the experiences no matter what.

At this time I have learned that I need to stick more heavily to my niche. I want to work exclusively with the wahmcart shopping cart for product management and doing blog management and promotion in wordpress. Yes, until I build up that niche I know I need to keep a few jobs here and there. But these are where I really love to work. The problem I am having is by taking some other jobs that may be close to the niche, but not quite there, they have become work. Mind numbing, head bashing, work. UGH, so don’t like that. Yes, it helps pay the bills and lately it has been paying the bills. I’m hugely thankful for that and the fact that it looks that I will be right on target for my business at the end of the year.

BUT, I also have to work my niche more. I have to promote my services. I need to get testimonials for my services in the area I want to work in.

So my new moral is, work and push my niche. Work hard at getting jobs in this niche of mine. Be wary of taking jobs that are not exactly what I’m working towards because it may end up dragging me down.

Working my niche will mean more work I love. But I also need to remember that it will bring me more extra money for the ceramic tile in my master bath and the hardwood through my living area that I’m dieing to add.
