Any virtual assistant who does not already have the requisite training probably will not make it as a VA. The experience necessary to be a great VA is not something you learn from a book or gain overnight. It is based on years of experience in an ordinary office setting. Building your business takes work. It will never happen unless you have enough experience to do what your client needs and the ability to do it as well OR BETTER than anyone he could hire for a full-time established office environment. If you have the experience necessary to do that, your business will thrive --- it will take time. But anything worth having is worth working and waiting for. I agree 100%.
