December 7=2C 2023=2C Issue #185 ** Hello! ------------------------------------------------------------ Belinda Sandor As a Virtual Assistant coach and mentor=2C I see common thoughts clutterin= g my students' minds. They wonder how much to charge=2C which tools they n= eed=2C what if the client says [fill in the blank]=2C and whether they ha= ve the skills they need to succeed. I get it. I=E2=80=99ve been there too. While those are all valid concerns=2C I=E2=80=99ve learned over the years= that none of these fears get in the way of creating business and lifestyl= e success. What gets in the way is almost invisible; to make matters worse= =2C it usually seems reasonable. What gets in the way of success is lettin= g life's current circumstances call the shots and decide your daily action= s. We often do this because we=E2=80=99re afraid and have self-limiting be= liefs. This makes it easier to convince ourselves to do nothing instead of= risk failure. Here=E2=80=99s how it works: * The car breaks down and you get upset=E2=80=A6 so you take the rest of t= he day off. * You get home from work and feel tired=E2=80=A6 so you decide to relax. * You receive a letter about something that=E2=80=99s not urgent =E2=80=A6= so you spend the whole day trying to resolve it. All three decisions seem reasonable. These are choices that we=E2=80=99ve= all made. But the trouble is that surrendering to everyday life won=E2=80= =99t help you build a successful business. You=E2=80=99ve got to learn to= shift your view of the circumstances. Like this: * My car broke down while I was doing an errand. Instead of getting upset= =2C I waited for the tow truck and brainstormed ideas for my email newslet= ter. * I got home from my job and felt too tired to work on my business. So=2C= I made myself a healthy snack=2C went outside for some fresh air=2C and f= ocused on my business for an hour before calling it a day. * I received a letter in the mail that wasn=E2=80=99t urgent. Instead of s= pending time on it immediately=2C I placed it on my desk to handle later w= hen I wasn=E2=80=99t working on my business. There=E2=80=99s never a convenient time to start a business. You=E2=80=99l= l likely never feel ready. But you can keep moving forward no matter what= =E2=80=99s happening around you. Life will always throw you challenges=2C but when you commit to your visio= n of success=2C you=E2=80=99ll see those obstacles merely as distractions= rather than roadblocks. Stay focused on where you want to go. You=E2=80= =99re worth it.
