The Power of Doing a Little Bit—Every Single Day

When people think about starting a Virtual Assistant business, they often imagine a big leap.

Quitting their job. Landing five clients at once. Rebuilding their entire life in one bold move.

But here’s the truth: That’s not how real businesses are built.

They’re built in quiet, steady ways. Through simple actions, repeated over time.

This week, I’ve been thinking a lot about The Slight Edge, a book by Jeff Olson that’s all about how small daily disciplines create massive results over time.

The idea is simple: Every day, you’re either moving forward or falling behind. The difference comes down to the choices you make—not once, but consistently.

As a Virtual Assistant, that might look like:

• Sending one follow-up email
• Reaching out to someone in your network
• Practicing one new skill
• Following through on what you said you’d do
• Showing up for 30 focused minutes—even on the days when you’re not “feeling it”

These are the things that don’t feel urgent… so they’re easy to skip. But when you do them every day, they change everything.

Because here’s what happens:

• You build trust in yourself
• You build confidence in your ability to figure things out
• You create real momentum—not overnight, but for real

This is the part people fall in love with: not the fast start, but the quiet knowing that they’re building something real. Something they can count on. Something that grows stronger with every step forward.

You don’t need to do everything today. You just need to do something—and do it again tomorrow.

That’s what makes this business work. And that’s what helps you fall in love with the life you’re building.
