I wanted to write something for VAs who are serious about being great at this job. And for the business owners trying to figure out what "great" actually looks like.
I run a VA placement agency. We've placed hundreds of VAs with entrepreneurs across every industry you can think of. Medical practices, property management, e-commerce, real estate, home services... you name it.
After doing this for years, I've noticed a clear pattern. The VAs who succeed don't think of themselves as task-completers. They think of themselves as partners.
And for the business owners reading this: understanding this distinction will help you hire better and get more out of the people you bring on.
That's what this guide is about.
