Let’s start out by getting into the right head space here, mama. You’ve just heard about this whole virtual assistant world, and you feel like you’re behind. Everyone else knows so much more than you do.
Guess what? All of those people were once where you are right now. No one is actually born knowing what a virtual assistant is. Everyone starts out with no experience. Your first day on the job, did you know how to everything? How ’bout the first time you became a mom? Did you have a clue? I sure as heck didn’t.
Seriously, right now drop me a comment and tell me what happened the very first time you tried to do a diaper change, cook a turkey, drive a car, or do anything you’d never done before. All right, now that we’ve established that you can do hard things and live to tell the tale, it’s time to work on acceptance.
You have to accept that, lean in close, make sure your kids aren’t listening, you don’t know everything. You’re going to have to learn a few new things. But that’s totally okay, because as we’ve just established, you’ve been learning how to do new things for your entire life.
The trick is not to focus on what you don’t know, or to compare yourself to people who are ahead of you. Instead, start with the fact that you’re currently using a device that is connected to the the internet, watching a video.
You found your way here, that counts. You’re a mom, and you’d better believe that you have calendar management experience. How else would your kids get to the scouts, sports, school, and saxophone lessons on time everyday? Who keeps track of all the kid’s birthdays, their yearly well-child checkups?
