IT TRULY IS MIND OVER MATTER

Here's an ugly word...FEAR. It's a word we can all relate to. We hate to admit we are fearful and it's easier to run from than to face. As an entrepreneur I have had to learn to look at my fears as my inner bullies that I must learn to tease and play with so that I can beat those bullies up rather than be beat myself! I've had to learn to get over the fears of: Where am I going to find my clients? Is my pricing too high or too low? I've had to take each bully (or fear) and turn it around and ask myself these questions: What type of person would need a virtual assistant? That's my client! My pricing should match the VALUE of my work, not a dollar sign for every hour put into the work, so what is my value? As the business has begun to grow, I have also learned to keep an "Attitude of Gratitude List" nearby. It's a small notebook that daily lists all the things that have gone well. I was able to pay morgage today; I landed my first 3 month commitment!; I recieved my promotional pens today--reality sunk in a little deeper; I met a caterer today who is going to be such a great part of my contact sphere... Whatever your gratitude is be sure your attitude matches and you'll be able to beat your own bullies!
