So you’ve decided to hire a VA and delegate? Now what? How do you go about it? How do you know if you’re getting someone reliable? With literally thousands and thousands to choose from, how do you know you’re not hiring some fly-by-night company? Just where do you start?
Well, here are some steps you can take to help you find just the right person.
First, make a list of the tasks you want to delegate to a Virtual Assistant. There are Virtual Assistants who specialize in certain areas — such as Search Engine Optimization, Social Media Marketing and Shopping Carts — or certain programs — such as Infusionsoft, 1 Shopping Cart and Top Producer. I specialize in Infusionsoft.

When you hear the word discipline what pictures come to mind? Perhaps a parent disciplining a child who has done something wrong? Maybe military personnel being disciplined for a bad act? Or maybe you think of someone disciplining themselves on the foods they eat and the activities they do to lose weight?
The word “discipline” can have several meanings. The meaning I’m discussing today is pertaining to a business owner, entrepreneur, solopreneur — you name it. In what ways does a business owner, entrepreneur and solopreneur require discipline?

Communication is an important piece when working with a virtual assistant — or when working with any subcontractor. While in some cases we do perform “miracles,” we are not mind readers.
To have a successful working relationship with a VA, it is important to communicate. If there are specific elements of a project you want included, communicate those. If there are deadlines that need to be met, communicate those also. All relevant facts should be communicated to the virtual assistant. Do NOT assume that your virtual assistant is thinking along the same lines as you and will know all those elements of the project. What you might consider an important piece and a can’t-live-without piece of the project might be something the virtual assistant sees as something that doesn’t need to be included.

If you answered yes to any — or all — of these, you need a Virtual Assistant (VA)!! A Virtual Assistant can help you gain hours, help you build your business, and work side by side with you….virtually, of course.
