Book Review: The Virtual Assistant’s Handbook
The Virtual Assistant’s Handbook
This one is unusual in the realm of VA books in that it was written by a UK VA, Nadine Hill. So it’s written very much from a UK perspective with lots of anecdotes and stories about real VAs working in the UK.
It’s mostly aimed at people considering becoming a VA or in the very early stages of starting their VA business. Great all rounder – and gets the thumbs up from me since it’s so UK specific!
This is a great book for start up VAs especially as it is based on the UK market. I read the book and although most of it didn’t apply to me as I was already established, it did make me rethink a few things such as setting prices and defining your niche market which I then put into practice. This is a book that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to start up VAs (and I do regularly).
I was also very privileged to be asked to be a Case Study within the book as well.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who’s thinking of becoming a VA – I found it inspirational and it was reassuring to know Nadine had the same worries/problems when she started out as I had. A brilliant read!
