A great VA will change your life.

Here's the issue I see so commonly though.

If you treat your VA like shit, don't bring them into the team because they are cheap labor you will never win.

Having a VA is more a test of your leadership and systems than anything else.

I have learned the hard way on this but see it so commonly because I get to run the interviews to hire new VA's for my clients.

I recommend having a VA for your fitness because you can save 40 hours with the VA generating leads and doing admin tasks that are time drains on a business owner.

When hiring a VA you must do these things well to win.

Get them involved with your whole team and company vision.

Make them excited for the future and where your business is going.

Spend time upskilling them to be world-class at their role.

Please give them a daily operations checklist.

Ensure they know their weekly KPI's and what you expect from them.

Pay them on time.

Get to know them as a person and their family.

Put in extra effort during their first month to train your VA to a high level.

When giving systems to a VA telling them isn't good enough. 

You must have videos of every single task so that they can watch it in their own time and also review their work to give feedback.

The funny thing is though, this is how you should treat all staff members but if you don't have these systems or leadership, then a VA will show what your business weaknesses are extremely quickly.
