I just had to share my news.

I have today signed up my first regular client!!!!

I have had a couple of SA returns to do, but this is what I have been looking for - a start to my regular day to day business.

The first one always is the hardest to get so I am absolutely over the moon! 

From little acorns mighty oaks do grow!

To anyone else who has been struggling - keep in there it will happen

Hi

Congratulations, I am just starting out on the hardest bit of all 'getting clients', so this will motivate me to hang on in there .

Great news Sandra - now your first of many!  Clients who are pleased with your services tell their other business friends - soon you will be busy!  Good luck.

Kind regards

Well Done Sandra, Exciting and a rewarding feeling (as well as scary!)

 Time to roll your sleeves up. 

I have been doing a lot of networking for clients and it seems to be working. 

Sandra - we can chat at the Reading CPD event on the 28th June and swop tails of finding clients .

Clare  -

please excuse spelling mistatkes I cannot find the spelling checker on the buttons on the reply window.

Well done Sandra. I'm really pleased for you.
See, persistance pays off.  Should be the first of many now you've got one.

Thank you all.

Got my first day's work with them on the 27th - little nervous but sure I'll be fine.

Clare - looking forward to meeting you in person next week (can't believe it has come around so soon - feels like it was forever away when I booked it)

And Sarah - the "S Douglas" team are getting ready to take over the world!! ;0)

FANTASTIC
I know just how you feel - I picked up my first client last month ( he has just started his businss so great to start from scratch and also train him in what paperwork to give to me and when!!).

I have also just picked up my second client ( this is someone who has been trading for 9 months, and I have to do all her books before end of July for her Accountant - interesting)

but it is a great feeling and worth the wait and anguish and the "will I ever get any clients?" thoughts

Best wishes to you xxxx
