(Lifehacker) Thanks Tess. I've been procrastinating on doing my business plan.. although I've been a VA for 2 years now. I know.. I know.. I need to write it down to see where I'd like my VA business to focus on. LOL. and what do you know.. to quote Lifehacker "That's a big problem with writing a business plan or a marketing plan even; you can get so mired in the minute details that you either never get started on the business itself or you paint yourself into too narrow a corner."

That's me and now I need to come up with a marketing plan on top of it. Why are these things so "scary" to do.
