It is exciting to see how Virtual Assistants grow and manage their businesses. In this article, Patty Benton, talks about growing her businesses with new VAs who are just starting out.

Cherry Creek News - Virtual Assistant industry grows

This is a win-win situation. The new VA gains experience and knowledge while the more experienced VA gains time and growth in their client base.

I participated in the internship program after graduating from AssistU. I worked with one of the most experienced and patient individuals - Liz. She is the VA for Ali Brown, The Ezine Queen.

I learned a lot and Liz was gracious enough to refer my first client to me! My client and I are still working together - a relationship that has lasted more than 3 years.

If you are a new VA, contact some established VAs to see if they are willing to share experiences, advice, or more. If you are an established VA, be willing to consider working with another VA to expand and grow. My only caveat is - if you are a new VA, please don't expect the senior VA to give away the shop. Make sure you do your own homework, education, networking, and due diligence.

Here's to great VA partnerships!
