The Hidden Pitfalls of Hiring a VA Without Business Systems


Listen Later

Are you sabotaging your business by hiring a virtual assistant too soon? 

Discover the crucial steps you need to take before making that decision and why having solid business systems in place is non-negotiable.  I'll share my personal journey and the mistakes I've made along the way, highlighting why simply hiring a VA without having systems in place is a recipe for disaster. You'll hear a powerful case study of how implementing just one of the six core business systems saved a client $700 a month and significantly boosted their team's efficiency.

We’ll explore how effective delegation can be a game-changer for your business, especially when starting with small, manageable tasks like email and calendar management. Proper delegation not only boosts productivity but also frees up precious time for self-care, helping you avoid burnout. 

And be sure to listen in to hear about how a handy resource called the BizOps checklist, can help you evaluate and improve your back-office operations seamlessly.
