Let's talk about the myth of the solopreneur. Too many people try to work alone in their businesses for too long. I get it! This is something every business owner goes through. But in today's episode of the Yay for Business Podcast, I want to present you with an alternative approach that will make you even more productive.

Step 1: I want you to stop identifying as a solopreneur. I know this can be hard. The word "solopreneur" is empowering and so many business owners feel pride in being a one-person operation. They think that they are synonymous with their business. However, the truth is it's unrealistic to be a solopreneur forever. It can set you up for serious stress and limit your business growth.

Step 2: Hire a VA! A virtual assistant (VA) is the first step in your journey from stressed solopreneur to booked out boss. Once you realize that you are not your business and that by trying to do everything, you're actually burning out and limiting your growth, it's time to bring on some help.

That's why in episode 28, we are talking about how to hire a VA and 25 tasks you can assign them to free up your time and let your business grow. Download the FREE list of 25 tasks you can assign to your VA (plus lots of helpful details) here!

In today's episode, we're specifically covering:

• When you should hire a VA
• The return on investment from hiring a VA
• Ways to find a VA
   *Going through an agency 
  *Contractor VA
  * Hiring as an employee
• Onboarding your VA

• Why you need to create a list of things that you don't want to do
• Training your VA
• How to get as clear as possible on their job title
• The 25 tasks that you can hand over to your VA today

Hopefully, this list helps give you some guidance on hiring your first VA and what tasks you can assign them. Just remember to get specific on exactly what you need help with and be ready to train them.

In next week's episode, I'm addressing those of you who are too busy to work on your business. We are talking about business owners who are overflowing with client work but still struggling to grow their business and their income. If that's you, you won't want to miss it!
