Why Your Last VA Hire Failed (and it wasn't your fault)


Listen Later

You hired a VA. You were excited. Finally, some help.

Week one was promising. Week two got confusing. Week three you were frustrated. By month two, you were doing their work AND yours.

Sound familiar?

Here's what nobody told you: The VA wasn't the problem. The timing was.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why CEO parents hire 3, 4, even 5 VAs before giving up, and why they keep thinking THEY'RE the problem.

Spoiler: You're not bad at delegating. You were just set up to fail.

I'm sharing the story of a client who went through THREE virtual assistants in 18 months before discovering the real issue (hint: it had nothing to do with the VAs), plus the exact framework I use to help CEO parents actually succeed with delegation.

In this episode:

  • The #1 reason VA hires fail (and it's not what you think)
  • Why delegating when you're desperate guarantees failure
  • The ROAD Method: Remove, Optimize, Automate, THEN Delegate
  • How to know if you're actually ready for a VA
  • What to do BEFORE you make your next hire

If you've ever blamed yourself for a failed VA relationship, this episode will change how you think about delegation entirely.
