Working from home as a Virtual Assistant can be a dream job to some. Since I have started in this industry in 2009, I have seen the rise of people wanting to be able to earn the same pay but with the convenience of working from home. Imagine not having to commute for hours instead use those hours as extra time to sleep or do what you need to do for yourself. It is indeed a dream job. However, working from home can also be lonely.

She called in sick the 1st day, late on her 2nd day and on her 3rd day, she had to be fired. These scenarios are what we don’t want to happen when we hire our own virtual assistant. Our expectations are high after hearing all the wonderful things about working with virtual assistants. The question is, how do we really manage our Virtual Assistant virtually? There would probably be millions of ways on how to manage VAs, here are the basic and popular ones.

To be honest, we also had some clients who were, either not satisfied with our service or they just don't have anything for their VA to do.  This is very frustrating for us because our main goal is to add value to businesses and make their business life easier.  When the client does not feel that we are adding value to their business, we are very much disappointed with ourselves. 

How many of you have ever felt that there is so little time in a day yet too many things to do? Many businessmen are so used to working things on their own that they find it hard to even start assigning tedious task to an assistant. And even if we know that delegation is the right thing to do, we find it hard to identify what task to delegate and how we can delegate it and make sure that the work is done efficiently. It's a dilemma.
