The Business Card
There is one important step people tend to forget when working online and that is the importance of always carrying a business card with you. You need to always brand yourself as a professional. And the easiest way to do this is to spread the word about your business through the use of business cards. I recently was invited to help out at an event in Los Angeles and didn’t realize that I was out of business cards.
To my dismay, I showed up at this event and was promptly asked a ton of questions about my business, what I do, my website, how to get into the industry and so on. So what do you think the number one asked question was?
Do you have a business card? Ugghh I was asked over and over and unfortunately I had to tell them I was out and take theirs or write down my info.
This is a big no no in any industry. People want to feel connected to you and know that you are a professional. One of the best ways to establish yourself as a professional besides the all important website, is to have business cards handy at all times.
Think about it, you are a walking advertisement for yourself in line at the store, at your child’s soccer game, school events, and trips to Staples and Kinkos, as well as business events. I have event left a few cards in certain aisles at Staples and at the counter. You just never know when you are going to meet your next big client.
Think you aren’t ready for a business card? Well why not? You can get business cards from VistaPrint for free. You have to remember everything you do from this point forward is an investment in yourself and your business.
There is a big movement lately talking about how thinking positively can change your life in another direction. I believe this theory. You have to be proactive in every aspect of your life in order to achieve the success you are looking for.
Maybe for you this means finding a VA gig to supplement your household income, or developing a multimillion dollar empire.
You have to decide what type of success you are seeking. Good luck in your journey and have a great week!
