Your Strategy Won’t Be Perfect — And That’s Okay

This week, I had a full-circle moment.

While answering a message from one of my team members about an old project tied to my husband's business (because, yes — in this house, we run multiple businesses and have BIG goals), I remembered something so simple and yet so impactful:

We never took a picture of the scribbles on the table from our Sunday night business dinner at Montana’s.

Yes… Montana’s. The BBQ spot with the butcher paper table covers and crayons.

And honestly? That’s where some of our best business ideas were born.

We didn’t have a laptop. We didn’t have a mood board or a business plan template.
What we did have was messy action. Crayons. Sauce-covered fingers. And clarity.

It reminded me just how much we’ve grown.

Because once upon a time, I never would’ve allowed that moment. I used to think everything had to be flawless before I could move forward — polished offers, branded visuals, clear direction. I waited for perfect.

But perfect is a lie that slows you down.

What I’ve learned — and what I want you to hear loud and clear if you’re building your VA business — is this:

You don’t need perfect to make progress. You just need to start.

The truth is, the most successful virtual assistants, online business managers, and digital service providers?
They all took action before they felt 100% ready.

They scribbled out offers.
They started with Google Docs and Canva.
They recorded voice notes and mapped out ideas on scrap paper.
They built as they went.

And you can too.

So if you’ve been waiting for the perfect brand name, niche clarity, a 6-month plan, or a full Instagram grid to match — let this be your permission slip.

The magic is in the messy middle. The kind where things are still taking shape, but you’re doing it anyway. That’s where momentum lives.

At TVL, we teach you how to move forward even when things aren’t “ready.”
Because done is better than perfect.
And action will always be your best teacher.

So grab a napkin. A notebook. A crayon if you need to.
Start scribbling. Start dreaming. Start building.
We’ve got you.
