What is a Chief Virtual Officer? My philosophy revolves around the idea that you, the virtual assistant, are now a business owner. However, I've found that often business owners, and even virtual assistants themselves, view a virtual assistant (VA) as little more than another employee. This view can make it challenging to convey the true value a virtual assistant can provide a business owner. It also makes it challenging for the VA to present their business in the best professional setting. That's why I decided to call the VAs I coach Chief Virtual Officers. After all, you are the chief officer of your business. This title more accurately reflects the VA's position as a business owner.
