This is what a good Virtual Assistant (VA) does:Go to work. Do tasks. Finish tasks. Send reports. DONE.http://www.flickr.com/photos/monterd/55107515/sizes/z/in/photostream/From flicker by: monterd

Separating great VA’s from the ‘meh’ ones can be hard.http://www.flickr.com/photos/wolfgangstaudt/2258904372/sizes/l/in/photostream/From flickr by:wolfgangstraudt
It’s like looking for a pebble in a sandy beach.http://www.flickr.com/photos/moran/188745472/sizes/l/in/photostream/
Remember, great ones are always:http://www.flickr.com/photos/lance_mountain/544651804/sizes/o/in/photostream/
To become a great VA, you need to be ready. Like all the time.http://www.flickr.com/photos/wongdood/3220667030/sizes/o/in/photostream/Photo from flickr by and[w]

A lot of times, clients would ask their VA’s for emergency tasks. Although VA’s are often not obliged to take emergency tasks, great VA’s take these tasks and further impress their clients. Great virtual assistants are always ready for impromptu tasks from clients.http://www.flickr.com/photos/lcrf/2091771406/sizes/l/in/photostream/Photo from flickr by: icrf
Being ready doesn’t only mean being ready physically, but also being ready mentally – knowing what to do and being able to do it. Always.Physically and mentally ready.http://www.flickr.com/photos/photomequickbooth/3644920698/sizes/l/in/photostream/From flickr by: Mrsminifig
2. MOTIVATEDhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/candiedwomanire/63386202/sizes/l/in/photostream/From flickr by: Dawn Endico
Good VA’s do their jobs. Great VA’s LOVE their jobs.http://www.flickr.com/photos/markorourkephotography/5669658122/sizes/l/in/photostream/From flickr by: Mark O Rourke Photography
Motivation is something that a great virtual assistant should never run out of. Motivated people work better and have better outputs than those who have no motivation at all. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mumbaiphotographer/4390970499/sizes/z/in/photostream/Fromflickr by: Deepatheawesome
Try writing a 1000-word article with absolutely no motivation or inspiration. That’d be like a never-ending nightmare. Like being stuck in limbo in Inception.Without motivation is like being trapped in Limbo.http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeyh/2774291310/sizes/l/in/photostream/From flickr by: Fabio Trifoni
Procrastination is bad. Real bad.http://www.flickr.com/photos/myklroventine/3261364899/sizes/l/in/photostream/From flickr by: MykylRoventine

Especially if you wanna be a great virtual assistant.http://www.flickr.com/photos/bking/379627227/sizes/o/in/photostream/
Finishing your work late can tick off your clients and cause them to replace you as their virtual assistant. Businesses value time since it’s an extremely limited resource. Time is a limited resources. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonivc/2283676770/sizes/l/in/photostream/From flickr by: Tonivc

Don’t endanger your job. Be punctual.http://www.flickr.com/photos/intherough/3393574951/sizes/l/in/photostream/From flickr by: wink
If you can’t finish the assigned task in the assigned time though, always inform your client so that they can be prepared.http://www.flickr.com/photos/melvinlewis/2557716143/sizes/l/in/photostream/From flickr by: iammeltron
4. ORGANIZEDhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/sue_langford/3883979777/sizes/l/in/photostream/From flickr by sue lanford
VA’s often have LOTS and LOTS of tasks. They can’t just randomly pick tasks and do them.They need to organize. http://www.flickr.com/photos/seeminglee/4556156477/sizes/l/in/photostream/From flickr by: See-ming Lee
A disorganized Virtual Assistant is basically a dead VA. He/she’ll be overwhelmed with too many tasks that he/she will have no idea how to go over all of them.http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucy_hill/4483818441/sizes/l/in/photostream/From flickr by: Lucy_Hill
Great VA’s use a variety of tools and software to get his/her tasks organized – sticky notes, to-do lists, alarm clocks…you name it.http://www.flickr.com/photos/8364994@N02/4834832993/sizes/l/in/photostream/From flicker by: miss.libertine

Remember, it’s RMPO - Ready, Motivated, Punctual and Organized. Hope this helps you separate the good from the great. Sometimes, all it takes is a keen eye.http://www.flickr.com/photos/nickwheeleroz/2205118143/sizes/l/in/photostream/From flickr by: nickwheelroz
