  1. 3 Traits Needed to be a Successful Virtual Assistant Many virtual assistants (VAs) make the mistake of thinking that experience with and expertise at in-demand skills are all they need in order to create a successful business.

  2. I’m going to talk about three personality traits needed: Confidence Perseverance Reliability

  3. Confidence The VA had all the skills needed, and I know from working with her that she’s an expert at those skills. The potential client emailed to let me know that she decided not to work with the VA I recommended. The potential client told me that the VA didn’t project confidence, and she wanted someone confident in themselves and their abilities. Be sure you’re not only good at what you do, but that you also sound like you’re good at what you.

  4. Reliability This means that you do what you say you’re going to do. I surveyed a wide variety of VA clients and asked what problems they had working with VAs. The number one problem they had was that VAs they had worked with weren’t reliable.  This included VAs who disappeared from the face of the earth, those who didn’t meet deadlines, and those who didn’t know how to perform the skills they said they could perform. If you simply do what you say you’re going to do, you’ll be a giant step closer to having a successful business.

  5. Perseverance You have to work hard to have the virtual assistant business of your dreams, and you have to keep working hard at it day after day. You also have to be able to pick yourself up and keep going, no matter what. Even if you do everything exactly right, something out of your control could derail your business goals. From 2001 to 2008, I had a very profitable real estate VA business. Then the real estate market crashed. There was nothing I could have done to prevent that crash. It was out of my control. But my income went from 6-figures to low 5-figures within a few weeks of the crash. Did I give up? Definitely not. I got busy figuring out a new target market for my business. Within 30 days of determining that my new target market would be authors, I had a full practice again.

  6. Just like any other business owner, as a virtual assistant, you not only need skills, you also need a particular set of traits. FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT US : www.pinoyforhire.com
