Growing and scaling your business effectively is a must, but as you do that, the first limiting factor you'll reach is yourself. At some point, you'll discover you aren't superman, and you'll need to offload work to others.
Q: How can you get more time back, while still growing your business?
A: Hire a VA (virtual assistant).
(Hint: It shouldn't be just any VA!)
In this episode we talk to Gina Horkey who gives us an introductory overview of hiring and working with virtual assistants. We walk through the value proposition of virtual assistance, how to get started, what you need to know before you start, give hiring & training tips, and the key ingredient that makes hiring a virtual assistant a success or not.
Gina Horkey is a married, millennial mama to two precocious toddlers. Additionally, she’s a professional writer and online business marketing consultant with a decade of experience in the financial services industry. Gina enjoys helping other freelancers gear up to quit their day jobs and take their side hustles full-time.
