Is Good Help Hard to Find?

Over the years I seem to hear the same complaint over and over again. Employers are having a hard time finding an assistant that truly cares as much about their business as they do.

This really is no surprise to me. I tend to believe that the biggest difference in the attitude of an onsite assistant and a virtual assistant is the sense of being a partner in the success of the business they are supporting.

When hiring a VA, essentially a vendor for your business, the virtual assistant can actually feel like he or she is on an equal level, and in a partnership with the business owner. The success of the business = the success of the virtual assistant, and vice versa, of course.

"People are definitely a company’s greatest asset. It doesn't make any difference whether the product is cars or cosmetics. A company is only as good as the people it keeps."
