✨ Join my free First Client Formula [https://www.laurajtraining.com/your-first-client-formula-opt-in-ig] training to learn how to find and sign your first VA client! __________________________________________ There’s a reason why scrolling job boards isn’t getting you the kind of clients you actually want, and it’s probably not what you think. In this episode, I’m talking about a different way to approach finding clients - one that doesn’t rely on waiting around for opportunities, but instead puts you in control of creating them. It might feel uncomfortable at first, especially if you’re used to the more “traditional” way of applying for work. But when done right, it doesn’t have to take hours of your time or feel overwhelming. Sometimes, the shift isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing things differently. In this episode, we chat about👇🏻 • Why job platforms like Fiverr and Upwork often lead to frustration • What proactive networking looks like in real life • How 15 minutes a day can lead to landing a client ✨ Want the exact formula to land your first client?
