How to Take Risks and Be Brave in Your Virtual Assistant Business

Is it important to take risks and be brave in your virtual assistant business? Yes, absolutely! If you stick with what is comfortable, you won’t push yourself or grow.

“And that’s the thing about growth. What once stretched you eventually becomes your baseline. And if you don’t deliberately stretch again… You get stuck.”

In this week’s episode of The Visionary VA Podcast, we’re talking all about how and (more importantly) why we should take risks and dare to be bolder.

Following a session I had with one of my mentees, I’ve been reflecting on when business starts to feel flat, and the fact that it may be a strategy problem but more of a comfort problem.

Key takeaways:

1️⃣ There’s a stage in business where the things that used to feel terrifying start to feel normal. What once stretched you becomes your baseline. If you don’t stretch again you become stuck.

2️⃣ Business decisions often feel uncomfortable before empowering. But dare to be brave as every decision shifts the landscape of your business. Not just financially but also identity-wise.

3️⃣ There’s nothing wrong with stability if that’s what you have consciously chose but if you’re feeling frustrated, bored or under-challenged that’s a sign you’ve probably outgrown your current comfort zone. Not your capability.

This week ask yourself, what am I avoiding because it feels uncomfortable? That one move may make your stomach flip, but it could be the very thing that changes the trajectory of your business.
