Episode Synopsis

Building self-belief and confidence is crucial. If you’ve ever found yourself doubting your abilities or questioning if you can take the next step, this episode is for you. Remember, growth doesn’t happen at times of doubt. It happens when you back yourself anyway.“Self-belief isn’t optional. Confidence will fuel your growth.”In this episode of the Visionary VA Podcast, I share why confidence has been the single biggest factor in building and growing my business, even when the odds were stacked against me.From launching with a toddler and a baby at home to leading a team years later, I wouldn’t have been able to do it without self-belief and motivating myself to take the next step. I talk about why confidence matters for VA leaders, how it shapes your client relationships, and the everyday ways you can strengthen it (much like a muscle).The truth is you don’t have to feel ready; you just have to decide to back yourself.Key takeaways:Reframe failure as feedback. A setback doesn’t prove you’re not good enough; it’s just your first attempt at learning.Celebrate the wins, big and small. Each acknowledgement of progress builds belief, brick by brick.Act before you feel ready. Confidence comes after action, not before. The more you do, the more you prove you can.Write down three things from the past year you’re proud of. Store that list somewhere safe, and when doubt creeps in, remind yourself: you’ve already done hard things. You can do the next one, too.Resources:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get our free mini course on Creating Solid Business Foundations ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hiring Associates free guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free monthly metrics tracker download⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit the website
