What is the illusion that readiness creates?
Let’s get something clear right from the start: “Feeling ready” is a myth. It’s not a real thing. It’s a feeling.
But it’s not a milestone you suddenly arrive at. It’s not a box you check off. It’s not something you get handed after watching 10 webinars or reading a few books. It’s an illusion. And the longer you wait for it, the longer you stay stuck.
What you actually need is courage and a decision. That’s it.
It’s easy to think you need more training, a better website, more confidence, or even more time before you can truly start your business or move it forward.
But what you're actually doing is using “not ready” as a shield. A form of protection. If you never launch, you never fail. If you never promote yourself, no one can judge you.
But the flip side? You never grow. You never help anyone. And you certainly don’t build the VA business you say you want.
I’ve seen it over and over again with the VAs I coach, and I’ve experienced it myself.
I remember struggling to have the VA business that I wanted.
I took every course I could find (free of course), and I kept adding to my arsenal of learned stuff.
I didn’t really set goals, because I didn’t feel ready.
I didn’t do any networking, because I didn’t feel ready.
I didn’t promote my business, because I wasn’t quite …. ready.
Well, I’m here to tell you now that the longer you stay your own little secret, the more you will struggle.
Stop waiting, and start being a ridiculously good virtual assistant.
If you need support to move faster and with more clarity, I’m here…
It’s the only reason I’m here at all, is to help you become a ridiculously VA. Drop me a DM to chat about where you are stuck. I’m on all the social media channels, so find me where you are. Or go to YourVAMentor.com/links to connect with me.
