How to Handle your Virtual Assistant

Life too short to tediously toil on the little things, so why not have someone clear the workload off your plate so you can end up eating cake? And by cake, I mean relaxing with your feet up eating sweets while someone handles all your daily tasks. The perfect way to do that is by hiring a Virtual Assistant.

A Virtual Assistant is like an online secretary, personal assistant, scheduling clerk, online shopping specialist, project manager that can do all the work you need done throughout the course of a day.

Part of hiring an outsourcing professional such as Virtual Assistant is that you have to place a certain amount of trust on them. Trust that they will get the job done for you.While you should make your expectations clear, its not a good idea to generally micro-manage your freelancers. It beats the reason why you hired a Virtual Assistant in the first place. If you're going to spend most of your day micro-managing every little detail, you'll end up terribly stressed out. So give your VA a shot to prove herself and let go, don’t try to dictate how exactly they should do their job by the minute detail. If you’re happy with the overall output, then how she got was able to achieve that end result doesn’t really matter. What matters is that, your VA was able to deliver and perform your tasks on time.
