For those who have RECENTLY hired a V.A.

[Michael Hayes]

B.P. family.  Just curious to know, for those who have recently started to scale their business and have hired a V.A. to take on a lead manager position (or any position for that matter).  Recently such as within the past few months or so.  What difficulties have you come across and what have you done or what do you plan to do to change this?  Also, what was your hiring procedure like (requirements, etc.) and what site did you use to hire one?  Do you wish you had done anything different to select a stronger candidate?  Do you believe your leads respond as well to your V.A. when communicating as they did with you when you were mainly in the roll (accent, misunderstandings, etc.)?

Just looking for a broad spectrum of experiences.  This month is turning out to be very profitable (busy) and think its about that time for me to make the jump so that I can organize.  Any comments appreciated!  Feel free to respond to any question if not all.
