I coach many people who say they’ve been working on getting their VA business going for weeks or even months, but they don’t have any customers yet.  They feel like their VA business has been stuck on pause, and they’re beginning to doubt whether a VA business can actually be a reality for them or not.

So then I ask them, “Tell me what you’ve done to move your VA business forward.”  Some will say they’ve gotten a fax or upgraded their computer or done some other office set up.

So then, I ask, “When was the last time you spoke to a prospective client either via email, IM, or on the phone?”  And the answer always seems to be, “Well my office isn’t set up yet.”

If this is you, I want you to think about that response.  Will your office ever truly be completely set up and able to handle every new thing that might come your way?

The answer is no.  Remember that old adage, if I wait until I can afford to have kids to have them, I will never have any?  The principle of that saying applies here.  If you wait until your office is completely set up, you will never run a VA business.

What you’re doing is a form of self-sabotage through procrastination or a desire for perfection.  Let it go.  Start talking to people and turning people into clients.  Worry about the things you need to run your office ONCE you have clients to serve.

Trust me, with all the things that will come across your path that you can’t even begin to think up now, your office will constantly be evolving to meet the needs of your clients.  Only you can get that pause button off and the play button going.

Keep moving toward success.
