Setting up a Project – Part One: How To Set Your VA Up For Success When Executing a Day-to-Day or Small Scale Project
In part one of our two-part special, we explore the world of project management and take a closer look at how to set up a project and what it really takes, from both you and your VA, to make those day-to-day and small scale projects really successful.
During this episode, Matt and Barbara step you through the methodologies that they themselves follow, and encourage and teach to others, when setting their VAs up with new, day-to-day or small scale projects.
Some of the areas covered are:
The importance of being clear in your own head around what the task or project is and what success looks like
Tips on how to communicate your project goals clearly to your VA
Why it is crucial to have milestone check-in points throughout the project, not just a finish deadline
How you can work with your VA to hold them accountable to check-in milestones and deadlines
