But here\u2019s the thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-neve-link-color-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Niching down is about marketing. It\u2019s not about the work (not entirely, anyway).<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for your clients to find YOU, and get to know you, like you and trust you (so they work with you), you have to position yourself as the very BEST person to help them with the things they need done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those great clients are the ones with the money \u2013 the ones that will pay us to get our help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So talking directly to them is essential in our marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s not scary, is it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing a niche client\/service helps you get really clear on how you\u2019re helping your clients. When you understand it, you can explain it easily to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also helps you to create solutions that will help many other business owners just like those clients \u2013 which makes finding people to work with become SO much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also work more efficiently during the work day if you are doing similar tasks for all of your clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you find large groups of similar potential clients, you can become their VA authority, and grow with their businesses too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-neve-link-color-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Imagine being the expert that people seek out \u2013 that\u2019s what choosing a niche can help you do.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn new things that help your clients in new ways. You can raise your rates. You can grow your own business while they grow theirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing a niche is not scary when you realize how it will help you, as well as your clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can develop a solid strategy, network less, work more, and really be in charge of the direction of your business \u2013 it\u2019s about making decisions, and those are yours to make!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-neve-link-color-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">If you are struggling to find great clients, it\u2019s time to make a decision. Or two. I promise you won\u2019t regret it! <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My business went from 2 small clients to booked out and on a waiting list, simply from making a choice of what service to offer to a specific client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, I knew where to find them and network with them, I loved the ones I worked with and did a great job for them, and they sent me referrals too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can happen for you too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Becoming the sought-after VA that your clients need is exactly the kind of thing you can get help with in a mastermind group. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourvamentor.com\/inspired\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Inspired Action VA mastermind (opens in a new tab)\">The Inspired Action VA mastermind<\/a><\/strong> is a small group of supportive VAs who work together through the day to day issues that crop up just like this one.
