Module 1: Where to Find Clients
Immediate places to start looking, networking and finding prospects.
Watch the Module 1 Video Lesson:
We don’t mess around here at 6 Weeks To Clients. And most participants in this program already walk away from module 1 with some prospective projects and clients. Results are what we are looking for. So go ahead and dive straight into this good stuff that’s going to tell you (most likely) where your first client will come from and how to go find them.
{BONUS VIDEO} Job Posting Analysis: The good, the bad, the never apply for this type of job again.
We’re just starting and already we’re asking you to dive into the big ocean of potential jobs and go fishing! Why? Because you LEARN by doing and the more you look at and analyze these job descriptions, the better you will get at sniffing out a really good prospect and avoid those projects that are life-suckers. This video will give you some insights on analyzing a job posting to determine where it fits for you.

Homework: Create Your Personal Network List
How many people do you know? I bet it is more than you realize. For this exercise please turn to your workbook and follow the guided questions.
Focus on answering each question as they appear. Do not overthink it. Do not assume that ANYONE is off limits. Jot their name down and move forward. This is just about getting pen to paper and seeing what is out there.
Homework: Search for 5 prospective projects on a job site
It is time to get searching. To be successful in the virtual field you have to be comfortable seeking out work. With this assignment, I would like you to take the time to find 5 prospective jobs that you could actually see yourself applying to (and really apply if you like them!).
You will not be perfect from the start. That is OKAY. I need to see where you are at, what you are doing, and how you understand the listings so I can help you grow in this virtual world.
