….how he’d “play” it:

“Everybody likes stories about underdogs that overcome.”

• he’d show up prepared, no exceptions! This means finding out every last bit of information he could on the client, making sure to address any of the unknowns that marked his client’s needs.
• he’d never be afraid to ask “How do you want it?” Instead of guessing and hoping; Mr. Jackson would take the short cut to avoid chaos and ask his client “In what manner am I to deliver these results? …Time frame?” and so on. Knowledge IS Power. Thus he’d ensure his success, the first time around.
• he’d have passion and it would show. He would take every opportunity to display his pleasure in the work he is doing by consistently going above and beyond the call of duty.
• From the beginning of the task-to the end-he would ooze consistency. There would be no mistake: he is there and he is ready for his close up.
• He’d understand that (at first) his experience of finally landing the client would far out way the size of the check, but if he managed to build his reputation to be known as a classy, outstanding VA, the checks would get fatter; leading to the scenario where he would only choose his clients based on his love for their industry.
• He’d be driven and that means not above making sacrifices in an everlastiing quest to reach his goals. His mantra would not be “I can’t because…” it would be “I can’t today….however, in the future…!”
• He’d admit failure, ask for forgiveness and move on. Period.
• he would not only, not fear the competition, he would welcome it. It would keep him on his toes. If someone got the client he wanted he would take a look at their credentials, admit where he was lacking and vow on the next opportunity to have the shortcoming erased.
• he wouldn’t forget where he came from! He would give shot out and make humble mentions of all that got him where he was. Why?!? Because karma is karma and “pay it forward” means you get what you give.
• and after becoming a Certified Master Virtual Assistant, he’d never cease honing his areas’ of expertise. He’d take every chance to tweak an aspect of his powerful tool box. He’d never balk (in fear) of the latest innovations. He would make it his mission to master them, as well.
• he’d gladly share his wealth of knowledge with those seeking to follow in his foot-steps. He understands that imitation is the purest form of flattery.
• he’d always remember to thank his wife and family..he knows that with out their love and support none of it would have been possible .
