14. Spot the difference?

15. Separating great VA’s from the ‘meh’ ones can be hard.

16. It’s like looking for a pebble in a sandy beach.

17. Remember, great ones are always:

18. 1. READY

19. To become a great VA, you need to be ready.

20. All the time.

21. Great virtual assistants are always ready for impromptu tasks from clients.

22. Physically and mentally ready.

23. 2. MOTIVATED

24. Good VA’s do their jobs. Great VA’s LOVE their jobs.

25. Motivated people work better and have better outputs than those who have no motivation at all.

26. Having no motivation is like being trapped in Limbo.

27. 3. PUNCTUAL

28. Procrastination is bad.

29. Real bad!

30. Especially if you want to be a great Virtual Assistant.

31. Time is a limited resource.

32. Value your clients’ time and they will value you.

33. Don’t endanger your job. Be punctual.

34. If you can’t finish the task on the assigned deadline, always inform your client so that they can prepare.

35. 4. ORGANIZED

36. A Great VA knows how to organize his tasks.

37. A disorganized Virtual Assistant is basically a dead VA.

38. Great VA’s use a variety of tools and software to get his tasks organized – sticky notes, to-do lists, alarm clocks…you name it.

39. GOT ALL OF THAT?

40. Remember, it’s RMPO…

41. READY

42. MOTIVATED

43. PUNCTUAL

44. ORGANIZED

45. Sometimes all it takes is a keen eye.
