For anyone who's considering hiring a virtual assistant, what do you wish you knew before you started?
Whether it’s setting expectations, onboarding properly, or finding someone with the right balance of skills and initiative—there’s a learning curve for sure.
From my own experience, I learned the hard way that vague instructions lead to vague outcomes. Once I started building SOPs (even short ones), everything improved.
I would love to hear:
How you sourced your first VA?
Did you go through platforms, agencies, or referrals?
How do you measure performance or ROI from the help you get?
Your input could really help others avoid common pitfalls.
