So yesterday, I had my first appointment with an acupuncturist. I have been before to someone else so I knew what to expect. (Some pain, some fear of pain, etc).
I'm lying face down on a physio table, trying not to breathe tissue paper in through my nostrils, bristling from head to toe with needles, and I get chatting with the slightly mad (but lovely) Chinese lady doing the acupuncture.
I explain that I'm a part-time Virtual Assistant, working at the opposite end of the week from my other part-time employment until I have enough clients to work full time at being a VA.
Guess what? She has a friend who has recently been made redundant from a firm of solicitors and he's setting up on his own and would I be interested in doing transcription work for him?
Err... Yes! Here's my card and my A5 flier (I carry them around with me now!).
What's the weirdest place you've had a lead from?!

Catch-up!
Well it's been a while since I've visited here. I did post something a few weeks back but ran into trouble and then didn't have the time to follow up the error message.
The website's now live: http://www.diamondva.co.uk/, so please check it out and comment.
Business cards and A5 fliers are all printed and I've been handing them out like a woman possessed!
I've also managed to get 8 of my photographs printed onto canvas and put up in the local pub (The Bird in Hand, Lovedean, Waterlooville, Hants) to sell. I did a little A5 flier to go with those when people ask the staff for more info and I've naturally attached a DiamondVA card to each!
I'm hopefully off to a networking meeting next week (waiting for confirmation) and am definitely going to one in a couple of weeks as a guest. I didn't realise you had to get in quick to be the only one representing your particular business in each group. It's all about the networking!
This afternoon I'm off to see a mad Chinese acupuncturist (she has been recommended I hasten to add!) to see if she can help with my back. Hopefully she'll let me leave some fliers in her reception area even if I don't come out walking straight!
