- Let Go of Control To Gain Freedom in Your Business with Ann Handley
Ann Handley has built a massive following for herself in the world of marketing by building an approachable personal brand. So the thought of asking someone to help her with behind-the-scenes tasks was terrifying. Did this mean she wouldn't be approachable Ann anymore?
Fortunately, Ann took the plunge and hasn't looked back. She visits the show to share what it was like learning to relinquish control and what's she's learned is possible when running a business with a trusted assistant by your side.
Key Takeaways- A great VA is like a spouse (or perhaps a skilled therapist). They provide support that goes well beyond logistics and can act as a supportive but non-partisan sounding board for business decisions.
- The “virtual” piece of a virtual assistant opens entrepreneurs up to finding the right talent beyond the bounds of their hometown.
- Even if you run a seasonal business, it’s important to have support year-round. In fact, Ann finds that when she’s in the “off-season” for her speaking work, having a VA allows her to take on special projects that lay the groundwork for long-term growth.
