About this episode
You’re not an expert at everything – and no one expects you to be! We all have our zones of genius and we all need help occasionally to succeed in the things we don’t know yet.
But even if intellectually we know this, we still discount – or outright ignore – great advice.
(And yeah, right now we’re specifically talking about our advice that you’re ignoring!)
So the question is why? Why are you ignoring our expert advice? ‘Cos we may not know everything there is to know about everything, but what we do know inside out and back to front is the VA biz. This is OUR zone of genius.
Well, there’s generally two reasons aspiring and established VAs ignore our advice (even those that pay for that advice!).
The first is that the more confident you are in life, the more you feel like you’ve got your shit together, the more likely you are to ignore the advice of others. Yeah, it's an ego thing.
The second reason is fear. You HEAR the advice, you UNDERSTAND the advice, but the actions required to TAKE the advice are scary and hard and you’d rather self-sabotage your success than step out of your comfort zone.
But no matter the reason, if you're struggling with something in your VA business, chances are you simply can't afford to ignore us any longer.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- The most ignored pieces of advice VAs love to ignore, and the reasons why they shouldn’t.
- Why we only want you to join us inside the next intake of Launch in 30 Days if you’re willing to listen to ALL of our advice!
Join us inside the next intake of Launch in 30 Days here.
