What’s Your “Big Mistake” http://www.growyourvabiz.com/blog/2009/02/05/asking-virtual-assistants-whats-your-big-mistake/ Sun, 05 Feb 2012 03:55:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Lucinda Cross http://www.growyourvabiz.com/blog/2009/02/05/asking-virtual-assistants-whats-your-big-mistake/#comment-1346 Lucinda Cross Sat, 07 Feb 2009 01:12:30 +0000 http://www.growyourvabiz.com/blog/?p=71#comment-1346 Oh man this is a fabulous post about mistakes because just when you think you have things under control, here comes a reality check to say "slow down Lucinda". I remember a time that I had to write out the delegation steps for client projects and I began writing an email to my project manager about the new clients we have on board, well in the email I was describing the frequent temper tantrums of a particular client and what to watch out for since the client had a habit of losing her mind every Monday morning. Well as I am placing the names and emails in the body of the message, what I did not do is erase the email address out of the sent box above, so the email went not only to the project manager but the irate client as well. Recovery from that was heart breaking and i felt like putting my head in the toilet. I still feel bad about that and now use a separate email for my team.
