Outsource Method ...
My post is two-fold so bear with me as I give a bit of background on the situation.
Outsourcing has been a huge roadblock of me. I have tried it many times and in the case of one off situations such as getting a script coded or a sales letter done, I've done well. BUT, I have failed miserably when it comes to VA's and/or any type of long term "assistant".
Of course after repeat failures at anything a person should take a long hard look in the mirror which I did. I made adjustments in my expectations, what I was willing to pay and so on but it didn't make a difference. I'm really not hard to get along with but I do expect to get value for my money. If I have to re-do whatever the assistance does I just as soon do it myself ... it's easier. My experiences have been ...
"Assistant" (tech or VS type) disappears ... as in just vanishes with no response to email, IM, and/or phone calls.
"Assistant" expected to receive full pay while I trained them.
Almost any communication that was less than telling how wonderful they were and how terrific of a job they did resulted in "Maybe we need to part ways". This one happened with an attorney I was paying approx. $300 an hour.
Regarding the last item I have had others review the emails sent and was told there was nothing wrong with how I worded and/or approached them with the problem.
I understand the concept and the need for anyone who has crested into the "made it" arena. Actually I feel many can benefit from it a bit before "making it" but that's beside the point.
So, my first question is ... Does anyone have experience/thoughts on these folks:

Question #2: Do you have a recommended resource for this topic and/or what advice might you give someone like me.
Thanks in advance for your time.
