When Your Business Changes Direction

From idea to inception; I'd imagine myself working for small business owners, helping them with copy, PowerPoint, and maybe a few promotions. I never thought my business would grow locally in the beginning, and I never thought of which direction my business would grow right off the hop - more so, I had never imagined it growing this quickly.

I WAS WRONG - REALLY WRONG

With the business plan in the can, and my business cards on their way....I was slowly preparing for a soft opening. Devising plans on how to generate business, both locally and globally. I mean I am virtual...I have no walls... It now seems that I may have to change my focus from global, to strictly local. From small businesses to one type of business.

REAL ESTATE

When researching my business prototype, and trying to find a niche market, I talked to friends and family involved in different business ventures; trying to get a handle on what really needed help out there in the "big bad world," when it came to Real Estate, I was getting conflicting reviews - some people told me I couldn't do a thing, while others were panting with baited breath, waiting for the moment the proverbial doors to my business swung open so they could employ my services. I wanted to go this direction, but the negative comments from some far outweighed the others....

Until this week.....

With the ink still wet on my business plan, I have made the decision to go full boar into the REVA business. A REVA is a Real Estate Virtual Assistant, and is a guarantee to save Real Estate agents time and money by taking all those extra hours they put into the administrative side of their business and allowing agents to focus on what they are best at: The buying and selling of homes for their clients.

In the last week, the accolades I have received are great, but the client base is greater. With three agents already signed on to Virtually There, and prospects richer then a gold mine I am floating.. The road I wanted to travel down months ago, finally opened it's gate and welcomed me in...

From VA to REVA in one week....

Business is a funny game, and I'm ready to play.
