Success in Sweatpants

I operate a virtual service business that brings in a 6-figure annual revenue.

When I started the company, I didn’t think in terms of being a virtualpreneur—a vpreneur.  I just knew that I was ready to own another company, that I was determined to make it a howling success, and that I needed the business to be highly mobile because of the way my life is set up. What I ended up doing was establishing a virtual service business—a VSB—and being a vpreneur.

I have no clients in the city where I currently live. All of my projects are for individuals and companies in locations other than my own. My market has no geographical boundaries. It is limited only by the quality of the cyberlink that connects me to it. And that is exactly how I want it to be.

A VSB is not a freelancing operation. It is a full-fledged enterprise (in my case, a limited liability company) with its own identity.

VSBs draw from a much wider spectrum of possible offerings than the limited niche of freelancers, and can be multi-faceted in the solutions they provide. They can grow and develop the same way any service business does; the main difference is that most if not all of its solutions are delivered electronically and most if not all client interfaces are via phone and/or Internet.

So how can you build a 6-figure VSB? Glad you asked! That’s exactly what I will be talking about here…so stick around!
