“So much of our life goes towards work. Make it fulfilling. And make it what you love.”

Native Midwesterners Lauren Gall and Melanie Ammerman founded VaVa Virtual Assistants in 2011 to fulfill the backend support that business owners needed. They both have a passion for helping business owners achieve the work-life balance they desire by taking care of the daily back-end tasks that take business owners away from building their own businesses.

Building a business wasn’t always easy. Melanie and Lauren join us today to talk about the principal of delegation, the foundation of a healthy business, and the fulfillment work can bring.
