Might there be support you give to entrepreneurs in regards to that as a virtual assistant?

James ClevesGUEST
For all my clients, there is, uh, different things, reminders or schedules, like to do things like for, as I touched on before, the water, the meals, uh, meant by lunch and all of that.

James ClevesGUEST
But it's also other things, like for instance, booking that doctor's appointment.

James ClevesGUEST
Like I 90, uh, it's between 85 and 90% of my client base are biologically woman.

James ClevesGUEST
And one of very important thing for them is every now and again is to book smear tests.

James ClevesGUEST
And there is so much, I have clients who have anxiety, crippling anxiety when it comes to making a phone call.

James ClevesGUEST
So booking in something which is paramount to, to their physical health, they can't do.

Doug BlecherHOST
Now, for anyone that might have already thought about or after listening to this might, this conversation might be interested in being a VA, what do you think are some important things to ask for or questions to ask a VA to know if this person might be a good fit for your needs?
