In this episode of the Hey, Thriver podcast, Devin, Shay, and Alexandra chat about:

• virtual assistants – what to pay, what to delegate, how to be successful with outsourcing
• the power and value of automating their various systems and processes
• using a CRM like HoneyBook or Dubsado to save time in their biz instead of adding to the hassle
• developing SOPs in their biz in a way that feels approachable and supportive.
• Realistic rates for a US-based VA
• task delegation and identifying where you need support as a creative
• empowering your VA/freelancer as a collaborator to help your biz reach new heights. 
• knowing what kind of support you need - after the wave of popularity of virtual assistants, Alexandra finds that a lot of creatives and freelancers are struggling with this
