The hardest part about working with a Virtual Assistant is building a trusting relationship. Start out with small tasks at first, make sure that you work well together. Never assume the VA knows what you want or that something should be “obvious”. Nothing is obvious and nothing should be left to interpretation. It will take a good 2-3 months to get your VA up to speed on what you want done. But once you do have a working relationship, you’ll get so much more done.
