Briefing In is back after a short hiatus with more relatable conversations about the world of Virtual Assistance! And this time, we’re exploring the qualities and mindset that define a "Perfect VA" (and if there really is such a thing?). Our guest, Ande, possesses a fighter’s mindset, using criticism to help him grow and only ever looking at failure as an opportunity to learn more about himself. In this episode, Ande gets real about what he wished he knew about the industry when he first started out, and he also reflects on what he would have done differently with the knowledge he has now. Tune in to listen to Ande’s insights on the significant role that mindset and perspective play in one’s professional life, and how humility and continuous improvement are essential for becoming exceptional in what you do.
