  • VATTA #86: Why Business Skills Are Just As Important As Expertise
    In this week's episode of the VA Tips, Tricks + Advice podcast I'm sharing why basic business skills are just as important as the services you sell in your business. 
    Yes, it's important to have skills that clients want and need but it's just as important to have the skills to run a business. 
    So many people seem to be in a hurry to learn the skills they need to be successful and overlook the business side of things. They just jump right in to launching their VA business without taking time to learn how to run a business. More time then not they find themselves in over their head once they land a client because they don't not what to do next.
