One of the things that keeps us stuck MOST as VAs is trying to get it all right before putting yourself out there. At every stage of our business. But it’s the one thing that will keep you from the success you deserve.

 

One of the biggest mistakes I see virtual assistants make (and something I’ve also wrestled with in my own business) is waiting until everything is perfect before taking action.

Now let’s be clear right away: perfection is a lie. It’s a delay tactic. It’s fear dressed up as being responsible or professional. And if you fall into this trap, it will keep you stuck for far too long.

In this episode, I want to talk about this extremely common mistake and cover why striving for perfection is holding you back more than helping you. And I’ll share what you can do instead to move forward confidently, even when things feel a little messy or uncertain.

And of course, if this episode hits home, I invite you to work with me. I can help you stop overthinking and start doing. With a plan, with clarity, and with support.

You’ve got this. And if you want help getting out of the waiting game and into momentum, you know where to find me.

 If you’re tired of waiting and want a plan to move forward with clarity and confidence, let’s work together. My coaching programs are designed to help you simplify your business, stop second-guessing yourself, and take consistent action. No perfection required.

You can find links to all of my trainings and coaching at YourVAMentor.com/links.

It’s the only reason I’m here at all is to help you become a ridiculously good VA.

I’m Tracey DAviero The Confidence Coach for VAs. That’s all I’ve got for you this week, I’ll see you next time!
