Just Do It!

Posted 12-20-2008 at 12:32 PM by TimeForLife
Being new in the virtual assistant arena, many things have become clear to me as I meddle my way through the process of researching, writing, editing and creating my business from scratch. As I am sure many of you have encountered this or are in the process now, I would like to point out the biggest "ahha" moment I have had. Being a perfectionist is not always a good approach to building a business.
I have seen and heard several comments from VA's who recommend just getting started after a solid plan is in place. This is much easier said than done; nonetheless, true. Last week I was stressed about getting my website content perfectly written to my target audience; however, this week I have a new approach. Just get it done so more consistent work can resume. That's it.
Since making this decision, my contact list has grown, my marketing plan is under way and my website is not sitting stagnant. So, my point is that the VA's who give advise know what they are talking about and their advice should not be taken with a grain of salt. No matter your personality type remember Nike's slogan and follow it, "Just do it" and you will be headed in the right direction. Good luck to each of you!

Great post Rikki! I'm sure you realize by now you're going to have many more 'aha moments' as you continue to work on your business. Perfectionism is a curse, for certain - but it can also make you an excellent service provider, so celebrate it in yourself once in a while!
