How to Work with a VA and Cultural Differences
Working with a Virtual Assistant (VA) from a different culture is not always easy. In this podcast, I talk about my own experience and how you can benefit from this as well. Overcoming Cultural differences is usually the biggest hurdle to take when it comes to working with a VA.
It’s not PowerPoint or Dropbox or any other technical platforms that will make or break your relationship with a VA. It’s the cultural differences that will. Pay attention to those and things will run smoothly. If you don’t things could get a lot rougher.
