The chapters go through services you can offer, programs you can learn, and important considerations for client contracts. I appreciated the chapter that dealt with common mistakes VAs make when starting out. I wished there had been more information about discovery calls and how to land clients once they are interested in your services. Overall, a solid book to learn more about the field of virtual assisting.
