appreciated this interview. Bette said:My favourite thing is being creative and resourceful and then sharing those resources with my clients. I would have to say the least favourite is bookkeeping and collecting from clients.
These are things I do very well. The collection took me awhile to get the hang of (this was in a manufacturing realm). the practice that got me the furthest, was #1 don't take it personally. #2 don't humilate #3 be yourself. I know it sounds simple, but when I figured that out collections weren't so hard to do. I even got a better collection rate.

Thank you, Bette, for sharing some valuable lessons. I've started a list of things to keep in mind as I'm planning my business and considering the processes to I'll need to have. I think I'm going to be in better condition than anyone would have expected, thanks to VAs like you.
