My intentions were good. Every morning=2C I thought to myself=2C today is= the day. =E2=80=9CToday is the day I will look at my finances and figure= out what=E2=80=99s going on.=E2=80=9D Every night=2C I would ask myself= =2C =E2=80=9CWhere did the day go?=E2=80=9D I would rationalize and tell m= yself=2C =E2=80=9CI=E2=80=99m too tired; I=E2=80=99ll do it tomorrow.=E2= =80=9D Every day=2C I believed I was telling myself the truth. But I wasn=E2=80= =99t. Taming my finances wasn=E2=80=99t hard or beyond my reach=2C I just= couldn=E2=80=99t bring myself to start. Then=2C one day=2C I decided I couldn=E2=80=99t go on like that anymore. I realized that the problem was the amount of pressure I was putting on my= self and how emotional it felt to confront my situation. I had so much jud= gment running through my head and was doubting my ability to deal with it= all. No wonder I was avoiding it. I see Virtual Assistants starting their business doing the same thing. The= y want every aspect of their business to be set up perfectly; they want to= never get overwhelmed. They=E2=80=99re telling themselves they want to be= successful=2C but at the same time=2C thinking they're not capable. And t= hey're setting unrealistic expectations about how long it should take to g= et a business off the ground. When it takes longer than they expect=2C they blame themselves for not bei= ng smart enough=2C good enough=2C [fill in the blank] enough. If this is you=2C you=E2=80=99ve got to stop. All you=E2=80=99re doing is= prolonging the feelings of discouragement and frustration. Get into action instead: * Decide if you really want to be a business owner. Building a business is= a marathon=2C not a sprint. So if you=E2=80=99re dabbling for a few month= s to see what will happen=2C don=E2=80=99t waste your time. The question that will get you closer to success is not =E2=80=9CCan I do= this?=E2=80=9D It=E2=80=99s =E2=80=9CWhat can I do today to make this wor= k?=E2=80=9D * Choose ONE area of your business to focus on at a time=2C and don=E2=80= =99t stop until you=E2=80=99re finished. Take on something small to begin= so you can get some momentum and have a win under your belt. * Don=E2=80=99t wait to start your journey as a Virtual Assistant until yo= u know everything. Just pay attention to what you need to know right now.= It=E2=80=99s ok that you don=E2=80=99t know what you don=E2=80=99t know.= Just calm down. You know enough. * Stop comparing yourself to others. All that will do is make you feel def= eated. You are where you are; the only way to change that is to get moving= =2E Your success is yours. Put on your blinders. Running a successful business is more about mindset than skill set. So=2C= please pay close attention to your expectations and beliefs and shift the= m when necessary to ensure your success.
