OK, so in case you haven’t heard yet a Virtual Assistant (VA) is a real, live person who is highly skilled in their niche business market segment. Yes, a real live person! Don’t let the word virtual confuse you here. Virtual is simply the term used to describe the fact that you as a business owner can indeed employ business support personnel who are NOT local.

1. Match your boss’s priorities to yours, so that you are in alignment with your company’s goals and vision.
2. Focus on the skills, projects, and assignments which will be used in your performance evaluation.
3. Exude trustworthiness. Under-promise and over-deliver on your assignments. Delivering on-time (or even early) shows that you are organized and dependable.
