I traveled the majority of last week and am just now getting your message. If you still need to interview someone, I'd be happy to do so but prefer by phone. You can reach me by dialing 1.888.307.9996. I am available most mornings this week. Warmly, Nikita Devereaux Jeff, my apologies for the delayed reply.

We are supposed to interview a VA and thought this would be a good way to accomplish that. If you could please answer some of these questions and get back to me asap, that would be great. Thank you. 1. How did you decide to get into the virtual assistant business? How long has your business been in operation? 2. What have been the greatest rewards of owning your own business? 3. What have been the greatest challenges of owning you own business? 4. What type of planning do you do for you business on an ongoing basis (e.g., business plan updates, marketing plans, financial planning, succession planning)? 5. What are the two or three most important reasons for the success of your business? 6. What advice would you give me if I were to start my own assistant business someday? 7. What are you plans, hopes, dreams, goals for your business 5, 10, 20 years from now? I was also wondering if you might be able to generate a list of start up costs for things like equipment, advertising, supplies or inventory. Nothing definite just some rough figures.
