The Courage to Grow
Welcome to the Courageous Entrepreneur Show. This is the show that shares information and inspiration to help you break free from self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and disempowering patterns and break through to create the thriving, successful business you dream of and deserve.
The show features interviews with entrepreneurs who've overcome amazing challenges to create success on their terms and experts who share insight and practical information to help you get past your blocks and move forward with courage, confidence, and clarity.
The show is available in both video and audio formats on a variety of platforms including iTunes, I Heart Radio, in the Google Play store, on You Tube and on my website.
If you like what you hear I hope you'll share the show with others and I hope you'll decide to join my community. You can become a fan of the show on my site at Winnie Anderson.com/fans. When you do you'll get episodes delivered right to your inbox along with information, tips, and resources to help you consistently move forward with courage, confidence, and clarity. I want to help you position and pre-sell yourself as the unique solution provider you are, and ultimately to profit from your expertise and build a business in alignment with your faith, beliefs, and values.
Show Notes
As we build our businesses, we quickly come to the realization that we just can't do everything ourselves if we truly want to build a business and not just a glorified job.
I know well how scary it is to make a hiring decision. I spent the first third of my career in human resources specializing in recruitment and staff development. There's no more important decision you'll make than who to bring on board and that's especially true when you're an entrepreneur.
But how do you do it? How do you find, choose, and work with someone effectively?
To answer that I thought I'd go to the horse's mouth so to speak and talk directly to a virtual assistant.
Beatrice Ten Thye (pronounced "TenTie") is a virtual assistant who I originally connected with in a Facebook group.
She recently wrote a post on Facebook that I'd describe as a rant. It talked about the big mistake entrepreneurs make by not using a VA.
Beatrice has an extensive background in corporate and organizational life where she built her skills in administration, organization, project management, and problem solving.
Listen in as Beatrice and I discuss:
- Why entrepreneurs find it so difficult and actually fear working with a VA
- Why she doesn't recommend that you just dive into asking questions when interviewing a VA
- When you should start thinking about getting a VA – it's likely to surprise you
- Mistakes made when hiring and managing a VA
- What to consider when you know you need help but can't seem to find the right person
As always listen all the way to the end where I'll share your cocktail exercise and action step for this episode.
