The VA Buzz. A free=2C weekly newsletter for Virtual Assistants on... September 26=2C 2024=2C Issue #227 ** Hello! ------------------------------------------------------------ Belinda Sandor Many of my friends are starting to talk about retirement. Since I=E2=80=99= m 63=2C that makes sense. But I find it interesting that many of them can=E2=80=99t wait to stop wor= king. When they talk to me about it=2C I sense they=E2=80=99ve been lookin= g forward to this next phase of life for a long time. Retirement is not something I think about or long for=2C so I started wond= ering why my friends have such different relationships with their careers.= And that=E2=80=99s when it dawned on me that the friends talking about re= tirement have jobs. When I listened to them more closely=2C I realized what they look forward= to in retirement is control of their days and how they spend their time.= Lucky me=2C as a Virtual Assistant=2C I don=E2=80=99t have to wait until= retirement to fill my days with activities I choose and enjoy; I get to d= o that every day of the week. If you=E2=80=99re thinking about diving into being a Virtual Assistant or= ready to take your VA Career to the next level=2C here are some tips to s= peed up your success: 1. Jump in with both feet. Many new Virtual Assistants start by dabbling.= That=E2=80=99s ok for a short period=2C but sustained dabbling causes bur= nout and disappointment. It feels like starting=2C stopping=2C starting=2C= stopping instead of reaping the benefits of business ownership=2C like ma= king good money and feeling satisfied when working steadily with clients. It doesn=E2=80=99t matter if you want to be a part-time or a full-time VA;= dabbling is all about mindset=2C not time investment. 2. Ask good questions. Questions are a powerful tool in life for getting t= he answers that will help you ask questions that will lead you down the ri= ght path. For example: =E2=80=9CHow will I make this work?=E2=80=9D vs. =E2=80=9CCan I make this= work?=E2=80=9D The first question gets you into action. The second keeps you stuck. 3. Be careful who you confide in. While I want you to tell everyone about= your new Virtual Assistant business=2C I don=E2=80=99t want you to seek t= heir approval. When I started my VA business in 2010=2C my friends and family thought it= was a terrible idea. They believed I couldn=E2=80=99t replace my corporat= e salary and have the time flexibility I wanted. They were wrong. Listen t= o someone with the success you want=2C not opinion-filled=2C well-meaning= =2C Monday-morning quarterbacks. I thank my lucky stars for choosing this path in 2010. I love being a Virt= ual Assistant. And the best part? I didn=E2=80=99t have to wait until =E2=80=9Cretirement= =E2=80=9D to enjoy my life. I=E2=80=99m living it fully right now. Each da= y=2C I wake up with the freedom to design my schedule=2C choose the client= s I work with=2C and focus on projects that light me up. It=E2=80=99s the kind of life many of my friends dream of having =E2=80=9C= someday=E2=80=9D =E2=80=94 but it=E2=80=99s available to you right now as= a Virtual Assistant. So=2C why wait? If you=E2=80=99re ready to take control of your time=2C ca= reer=2C and future=2C becoming a VA could be the answer. Because the life= you want isn=E2=80=99t something you have to retire to =E2=80=93 it=E2=80= =99s something you can create right now. All the best=2C Belinda Belinda Sandor Founder and Chief Cheerleader The VA Connection=C2=AE Upcoming Training This Week ** Lessons from the Cockpit: Make Sure You=E2=80=99re Worried About What M= atters Tuesday=2C September 24=2C 2024 at 10:30 AM ET ------------------------------------------------------------ Many new and aspiring Virtual Assistants are worried.
