No matter how many years you spend as a Virtual Assistant (VA), you’ll hear myths about our industry that will make your blood boil. Here are our faves.

Customer Service is arguably the most important part of your business. It determines what people think of your business, and what they tell others about it.

The success of any business, especially small businesses and start-ups, often hinges on having a consistent cash flow. Ignore your cash flow, or let it sit on the back burner for too long, and your entire business could go up in smoke.

Mission statements are a critical part of all business planning. They’re created to help businesses avoid wasting massive amounts of time and resources on things that aren’t really moving the core mission forward. Writing a powerful Mission Statement means that everybody in the organization keeps the purpose of the business in mind with everything they do, and management decisions become much clearer.

Finding high paying clients are great, but even better is when a client finds them for you and brings them to your door. Clients like these are your unofficial advocates, who are actively promoting you in private meetings and casual conversations whenever the subject of your services comes up. They also spend time thinking of other people you might want to call, and pass you their information with the promise that they’ll vouch for you if asked.
