Key Takeaways

• Every repetitive process can (and likely should) be taught and delegated to a virtual assistant.  
• The key trait of a successful virtual assistant is a willingness to learn.  
• Traditional jobs may have firmer boundaries around each person's tasks, but a virtual assistant can expand their skills by proactively looking for new processes to take over.
