I know you have too much to do and not enough time to do it. Am I right?

So you’re hearing the same advice…hire a virtual assistant. But are you really ready?

My personal mission to help you avoid the frustrations and failures I experienced when I was supporting other business owners as a VA.

This is the second episode of a three part series to help you successfully partner with a virtual assistant. In episode 8 I debunked three myths you may have heard when it comes to hiring a virtual assistant or a VA.  

I also shared some tips to help you honestly assess whether or not you’re actually ready to hire a VA and a few strategies to help you save time and get work done as a busy mompreneur.

So in this episode, I’m going to share three common mistakes that you should avoid when you move forward with hiring a VA. These tips are not foolproof but they are common mistakes you can avoid making to save yourself time, money and frustration.

Now I know hiring a VA is probably unchartered territory or maybe you’ve tried your hand at it and failed. So hopefully you can avoid making these mistakes when you decide to hire so you have time to focus on growing your business.

So avoid making these three mistakes. 

  1. Remember a VA is not a plug and play solution.
  2. Don’t hire for a specific task.
  3. Don’t be unrealistic in your expectations.

These tips are not foolproof but they are common mistakes you can avoid making to save yourself time, money and frustration.
