Knowing your value, believing in your value and reflect that kind of self-confidence to your clients is what will take you a long way to your success. It's also important to show your prospective and current clients of the value that you bring to their business. It's not about the cost comparison between a Virtual Assistant and an employee. Cost is hardly an issue if you are able to show your client the value they get in hiring you.

I have been contemplating using virtual assistants for some time now for my business. It's just hard to know where to start and what to have them do. I do value my time and it would be more productive to outsource certain aspects of my business especially the ones I do not enjoy or are not particularly good at. It would be a valuable asset!

I've lost count of how many times I've labeled myself as being "just a [fill in with the appropriate title]." Several friends have advised me to change my mind about this, but sometimes that dangerous mindframe still influences my behaviour. Your article is an excellent reminder: we should recognise our own value if we want others to do it as well. :-) What you said about VAs also applies to other professionals.
