I spend an incredible amount of time trying to match VA's with the right clients and match clients with the right VA's - to make sure that the skill sets needed coincide with the skill sets the VA's have. Then making sure that their is a level of trust built up, so that the client can 'trust' the VA to 'run with it' on ideas and projects, without micro managing! @Karen – So very true.

I especially like Tips 4 and 5. I have worked with business owners who have hired VAs without the technical skills they needed. While these VAs were capable and talented they lacked the skills necessary to manage the area where the business owner most needed help. Often this was due to the business owner's lack of expertise in the area; they were incapable of asking the right questions. Tip 5 is also key and not everyone has this skill set. If you don't hire someone with initiative you may find yourself frustrated. .-= Karen Swim´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordsForHire/~3/eryiexazgFY/" rel="nofollow">Dream Killers and Vision Thieves</a> =-.
