Hiring a Virtual Assistant can be one of the best decisions you make for your business, but simply hiring someone doesn't automatically make your life easier.
Listen as Diane Rolston shares everything she wishes she knew before hiring a virtual assistant, and what she's seen make these relationships work versus fall apart. She walks through seven things every business owner needs to know before bringing on support.
Listen to learn these key takeaways:
- Why the cheapest VA might actually cost you more and the real equation to consider beyond hourly rate
- The "unicorn VA" trap: why looking for someone who can do everything is setting the relationship up to fail before it starts
- Why someone can look perfect on paper and still not be the right fit, and what to look for instead
- The most common delegation mistake business owners make, and what "take care of my social media" actually sounds like to a VA
- Why you shouldn't judge delegation by the first time someone does something and the math that changes everything when you think about it long term
- What most business owners think is the hardest part of getting a VA and what they don't realize comes after
- Why you shouldn't have to do all the hiring work either, and what 300 applicants per round actually taught Diane about finding the right people
- The question Diane wants you to ask instead of "how much does a VA cost?"
- What VA Made Easy actually handles for you and why you don't need SOPs, a delegation list, or a perfectly organized system before the first conversation
