Some of the common VA questions we get asked
A Virtual Assistant (VA), or Virtual PA is the equivalent of a PA/EA or administrator. Rather than being in your office (or home), your Virtual Assistant works remotely.
Virtual Assistants provide admin, technical and creative support on a regular, ad-hoc or project basis which can be varied according to your needs.
Using a Virtual Assistant can be a cost effective and simple solution that allows you to find the time to focus on important things. I understand you need to be able to move onto your next milestone and my services will help tie up those loose ends.
A Virtual Assistant can help your business and life run more smoothly by utilising the services as much or as little as you need without the requirement of a contracted employee.
I suggest you have a fresh look at your to-do and wish list (or write one). Take note of the tasks you would have to do to achieve your goals. Continue to monitor the ‘business as usual’ tasks that you are doing over a week or so period.
From the created lists, identify the tasks that you need to do, the tasks that you don’t enjoy doing or are time-consuming and the tasks that you could ask someone else to do.
This will help you pick out what tasks you can and want to outsource to Milestones.

If hours from the booked package are not used a % will be moved over to next month to provide you with more flexibility. The more hours on contract means a reduced hourly rate.
No, the retainer packages are on a rolling contract with a short notice period of 30 days. This provides you with the flexibility to cancel at any time.
At the end of each month you will be provided with a detailed Toggl report that provides a full breakdown of your allotted time. It will show the date, time and duration spent for each project. It can be anything from checking inbox daily for 5 mins to working on a research project for 2 hours. But you will have complete visibility. From this we can both work together to ensure the time is used appropriately on specific jobs.
We’ll use a combination of phone, email, video call… plus face to face if you have the time and within driving distance. At the start of the relationship, a range of questions will be asked to enable we have a better understanding about your business, yourself and your milestones that you want to accomplish.

Lisa was recommended to me by another VA a year ago. The words used were; “ Lisa is a great VA and I think she will meet your needs”. The original VA was a very astute person, because she was right, she was spot on.
Lisa has exceeded my expectations in many ways. When I have ideas about what I want to happen or have produced into written form as a document and share with Lisa, she will take the idea or resource that I have initially produced and do her magic on it to enable these to be manifested into something better than I can imagine.’
Lisa listens and runs with ideas, using her varied skills and works with me so that what is produced is not just a stand alone resource but also systemises it to enable organic evolution of an evergreen resource. Through what Lisa does, there is a greater peace of mind within me and I am finding that I am able to do more of what I love to do in life and business and less of what I would rather not do.. because Lisa lives to do this and does it much better than I could ever do and in much less time.
