2. HIGH Dollar per hour – What activities help you to deliver upon your goals?

you wish someone else could do for you?

22. Systematise for scale - Process & Standard Operating Procedures
When a human being is clear on the desired
outcome, they are able to proceed to deliver
the desired result.
This in turn creates trust and credibility
between team members.

31. Talent Selection Criteria
Criteria 1) Longevity
The Resume is well formatted and
the applicant has a history of
longevity from previous employers.
I personally look for 2 years plus +
32. 4. Talent Selection Criteria
Talent Selection Criteria
Criteria 2) Hobbies & Interests
Use hobbies and interests as a bench-mark. Chose
someone with similar interests to yourself.
33. 4. Talent Selection CriteriaTalent Selection Criteria
Criteria 3) Overseas Work/Travel
Choose a VA that has lived or travelled in another country. My own personal team have all
worked in Malaysia, Singapore, Middle East and even Australia. It shows they can step outside
their comfort zone and have experience working with Foreigners. They get my sense of humor
and have a very similar work ethic.

34. Talent Selection Criteria
Criteria 4) High Quality
Set the bar high on quality, and I
mean on everything from their
resume, tests, appearance (meet
them virtually online), written and
verbal communication skills - and
don’t compromise - EVER! It is a
marathon not a sprint. Take your
time to hire - I mean in the search
and when you find the right one -
offer fast.
