343. From Overwhelmed to Empowered: Tips to Hire Your First Assistant with Amy Wallin


Listen Later

Is it time to hire an assistant to power your business forward?

Today we’re talking with Amy Wallin, the CEO and Founder of LinkedVA. Amy is on a mission to help small businesses scale with less stress. The secret? Helping entrepreneurs focus on what they’re great at while outsourcing the parts of running a business they dread.

Don’t wait until you’re completely overwhelmed to hire support for your business. This way of thinking will make you desperate, and could lead to mistakes in the process. Women often try to do everything themselves even though they deserve to have more flexibility in their schedule while still meeting their business goals.

In this episode, you will learn about:

  • Who needs to hire an assistant (hint: it’s not just business owners).
  • Why Amy’s relationship with her executive assistant is so meaningful.
  • The secret to protecting your time from your worst enemy.
  • How to know when it’s time to hire an assistant before it’s too late.
  • How hiring an assistant sets you free in more ways than you can imagine.
  • The one thing you must do to set your executive assistant up for success.
  • The importance of communication and feedback when you hire an assistant.
  • Where to start with delegation if you’re nervous about it.

What it means to be a wild woman:

  • Being unapologetic, unfiltered, and totally yourself.
