Networking Tips for Introverted Virtual Assistants

If the word 'networking' sends chills down your spine, you're not alone! It tends to conjure up thoughts of people standing around in suits and dresses in a stuffy room, shuffling out business cards, and making boring and awkward business talk.

And if you're an introvert, the thought of talking to strangers alone gives you heart palpitations, so the mere thought of approaching strangers on your own gives you a full-on panic attack.

Networking has so many benefits, though, that you don't want to disregard it. In this episode, I talk about these benefits and how to find networking opportunities that feel good to you.
