The VA Buzz. A free=2C weekly newsletter for Virtual Assistants on...
June 17=2C 2024=2C Issue #213

** Hello!
------------------------------------------------------------

Belinda Sandor

As Virtual Assistants=2C we want to have thriving businesses. We know that=
 it will bring us time=2C freedom=2C and financial security. We want the b=
enefit of being able to work around important events in our lives=2C like=
 caring for aging parents=2C being at our kid=E2=80=99s baseball game or b=
allet lesson=2C or taking care of ourselves.

Yet we let our doubts and fears get in the way before we get started. So w=
e never take the first step=2C or we start and stop and start and stop bef=
ore we gain any traction.

And believe it or not=2C doing this=2C not really getting started=2C is wa=
y more exhausting than being successful.

While taking the first step can be scary=2C once you take it=2C I know fro=
m experience that it can also be energizing and exciting. This made me won=
der why more people don=E2=80=99t take the steps to have the success they=
 want=2C especially since there=E2=80=99s information available on how to=
 make this happen.

And then I read a quote that stopped me in my tracks. It gave me a giganti=
c aha:

Stop worrying about people who aren=E2=80=99t worried about you.

It=E2=80=99s a simple statement and it makes perfect sense=2C but how many=
 of us are doing the exact opposite? How many of us are making important l=
ife choices using the criteria of what other people will think?

Most of us. Let=E2=80=99s stop that now.

Imagine a conversation you might have with a friend or your child if they=
 said to you=2C =E2=80=9CI really want to be a fireman. I=E2=80=99ve dream=
ed of it my whole life=2C but Joey doesn=E2=80=99t think I can do it=2C so=
 I=E2=80=99m going to be an accountant.=E2=80=9D

What would your response be? You'd probably suggest they tell Joey to go t=
ake a hike!

Here are both ends of the spectrum when it comes to this kind of thinking:
* Someone might see me fail and I won=E2=80=99t be able to live that down.=
 I=E2=80=99ll be defeated.

* Someone might see me succeed and I can=E2=80=99t possibly live up to tha=
t. It=E2=80=99s just too much.

There is no room for growth=2C change=2C or the success you want in either=
 of these statements.

What if you tried something different instead?

What if you imagined how to make today successful and took the steps that=
 you know will make a difference? And then did the same thing again tomorr=
ow? And the day after that? That would make a difference.

Creating a successful Virtual Assistant business doesn=E2=80=99t happen ov=
ernight - that=E2=80=99s the good news. It=E2=80=99s not something that ha=
ppens to you=2C it=E2=80=99s something that you craft day by day=2C week b=
y week=2C year by year.

Build your business according to what=E2=80=99s in your heart and not stor=
ies we=E2=80=99re making up about what other people think. Trust me=2C you=
=E2=80=99ll be a much happier and more successful Virtual Assistant.

All the best=2C

Upcoming Training This Week
Lessons from the Cockpit: The Fast Track to Business Success
Tuesday=2C June 18=2C 2024 at 10:30 AM ET

When Virtual Assistants start out=2C they are often enamored with the idea=
 of being their own boss and taking charge of their day. They naturally ta=
ke the puttering approach=2C doing what they are drawn to and following th=
eir interests. While that might feel like a relief after having a job wher=
e someone always directs how you spend your time=2C it=E2=80=99s not how y=
ou build a successful business.

In this episode of Lessons from the Cockpit=2C I talk about how to craft y=
our plan for your business to succeed.

The RocketGirl Show: Be Intentional With Your Time
Thursday=2C June 20=2C 2024 at 11:30 AM ET
You=E2=80=99ve probably heard the saying: We all have the same 24 hours. A=
nd while that=E2=80=99s true=2C what varies greatly is how we think about=
 time and choose to use our own 24 hours. If you want to design your life=
 so you can meet your goals and have experiences you enjoy=2C you=E2=80=99=
ll need to be intentional about how you use your time. You=E2=80=99ll also=
 need to factor in your priorities. Changing how you approach time is not=
 easy=2C but it is worth the effort.

In this episode of the RocketGirl Show=2C we'll talk about ways to start h=
ow you approach time.

What Students Are Saying...

I found Belinda's VA School at a time when I was on the verge of giving up=
 on my business. I wasn't signing clients and didn't know what to do. With=
in weeks of starting VA School=2C I signed my first client.

I truly believe that Belinda's advice and information contained within the=
 modules helped get me over the hump of signing my first client.

By the end of VA School I had signed 3 clients and feel so very confident=
 that I can continue to be successful. - Jenn Yakel

 thriving businesses. We know that it will bring us time=2C freedom=2C and=
 financial security.&nbsp;<strong>We want the benefit of being able to wor=
k around important events in our lives</strong>=2C like caring for aging p=
arents=2C being at our kid=E2=80=99s baseball game or ballet lesson=2C or=
 taking care of ourselves.<br>
<br>
<strong>Yet we let our doubts and fears get in the way before we get start=
ed.&nbsp;</strong>So we never take the first step=2C or we start and stop=
 and start and stop before we gain any traction.<br>
<br>
And believe it or not=2C doing this=2C not really getting started=2C is wa=
y more exhausting than being successful.<br>
<br>
While taking the first step can be scary=2C once you take it=2C I know fro=
m experience that it can also be energizing and exciting. This made me won=
der why more people don=E2=80=99t take the steps to have the success they=
 want=2C especially since there=E2=80=99s information available on how to=
 make this happen.<br>
<br>
And then I read a quote that stopped me in my tracks. It gave me a giganti=
c aha:<br>
&nbsp;</p>
<em><strong>Stop worrying about people who aren=E2=80=99t worried about yo=
u.</strong></em><br>

e-height: 150%;text-align: left;">It=E2=80=99s a simple statement and it m=
akes perfect sense=2C but how many of us are doing the exact opposite? How=
 many of us are making important life choices using the criteria of what o=
ther people will think?<br>
<br>
<strong>Most of us. Let=E2=80=99s stop that now.</strong><br>
<br>
Imagine a conversation you might have with a friend or your child if they=
 said to you=2C =E2=80=9CI really want to be a fireman. I=E2=80=99ve dream=
ed of it my whole life=2C but Joey doesn=E2=80=99t think I can do it=2C so=
 I=E2=80=99m going to be an accountant.=E2=80=9D<br>
<br>
What would your response be?&nbsp;<strong>You'd probably suggest they tell=
 Joey to go take a hike!</strong><br>
<br>
<strong>Here are both ends of the spectrum when it comes to this kind of t=
hinking:</strong>&nbsp;</p>

 or the success you want in either of these statements.<br>
<br>
<strong>What if you tried something different instead?&nbsp;</strong><br>
<br>
What if you imagined how to make today successful and took the steps that=
 you know will make a difference? And then did the same thing again tomorr=
ow? And the day after that? That would make a difference.<br>
<br>
Creating a successful Virtual Assistant business doesn=E2=80=99t happen ov=
ernight - that=E2=80=99s the good news. It=E2=80=99s not something that ha=

nd Belinda's VA School at a time when I was on the verge of giving up on m=
y business. I wasn't signing clients and didn't know what to do. Within we=
eks of starting VA School=2C&nbsp;I signed my first client.<br>
<br>
<strong>I truly believe that Belinda's advice and information contained wi=
thin the modules helped get me over the hump of signing my first client.</=
strong><br>
<br>
By the end of VA School I had signed 3 clients and feel so very confident=
 that I can continue to be successful. - Jenn Yakel</p>
