Be afraid and do it anyway.

Welcome to the VA Insider Newsletter, the place to be for tips and tools to build a thriving Virtual Assistant business.

The phrase "be afraid and do it anyway" might sound like a daredevil's motto, but for us virtual assistants, it's the secret sauce to success.?

Remember 2012? When Psy's "Gangnam Style" dominated the airwaves and skinny jeans reigned supreme? That's when?I took the plunge, launching my VA business armed with nothing but blogs and YouTube tutorials.?

Was I scared? Yes! Siri wasn't even mainstream yet.

Client ghosting, roadblocks, and the occasional bout of self-doubt –?I've seen it all.?But with each hurdle, I?learned, adapted, and thrived.?Fast forward a decade, and my VA business is more than just coasting.

I have a?loyal client base?and over?45,000 students?I've empowered to launch their own VA journeys. So, to my fellow dreamers wrestling with "what ifs" and "oh nos," listen up. The only thing scarier than facing your fear is living with the regret of never trying.

Here's how embracing "be afraid and do it anyway" can fuel your VA success:

• Channel your nervousness into action: Research, learn, and plan. Knowledge is power, and fear can be a motivator to get you prepared.
• Hiccups are inevitable, so don't let them derail you. See them as learning opportunities and adapt your approach.
• Surround yourself with supportive VAs who understand your struggles and celebrate your victories. This network can be your lifeline when facing challenges.
• Never stop growing.?The VA landscape is constantly evolving. Always be learning new skills and staying ahead of the curve.

Take a deep breath,?embrace the "be afraid" part of building your business, and?do it anyway.

You've got this!
