So, you've decided to delegate tasks to a Virtual Assistant and free up more time to focus on the parts of your business that need your attention? Terrific!

And you are ready to get more done by hiring and managing support staff confidently and effectively? Yes? Fantastic!

Don't know where to start? I can help with that.

Take a moment to consider what personality types you work well with, and what types don’t present a good match for you. You have the opportunity to bring on people who will support you as you make your business dreams come true. And remember that at the same time, your Virtual Team is making their own dreams come true by being able to prosperously work from home.

When it’s time to bring in someone to help support you in your business, it’s important to put some thought and strategy behind who you need to help you and why you need them well before you start to search for that support. Just bringing in anyone who calls themself a Virtual Assistant is not the solution. In fact, it may be more like a bandaid on a bullet wound.

I think there is a myth surrounding what life actually looks like for a Digital Nomad like myself, so I wanted to take a moment to talk about the difference between one that travels the world with a backpack and a laptop and case of wanderlust following their instincts and the wind…. and the mom with 2 kids who can work from the sidelines of the soccer field or the parking lot at dance practice or from the bed next to their sleeping child when they are home sick for the day. Both Virtual Professionals enjoy the same location freedom, but I think we can agree that they do not enjoy the same lifestyle.
