Get crystal clear about the process of hiring a Virtual Assistant or assembling a Virtual Support Team for your business
Do you feel like you own your business or like your business owns you?
Is it hard to ask for outside help with even the most basic tasks because you feel like you want to handle all of the details yourself so they get handled correctly?
What if you had an easy-to-implement strategy that helped you begin outsourcing those tasks to the RIGHT support professionals so you could feel good about who you trust with your business details, start efficiently buying back your time, and keep your own focus were it really needs to be?
With the right preparation before you begin your search for a Virtual Assistant, you will ultimately end up with…
Better suited candidates
A smoother hiring process
A v
irtual team that will be more closely matched to your unique business needs.
An important part of the preparation is done with a Strategy Session during which we meet virtually over Zoom to discuss your unique business needs.
BUT, BEFORE WE HAVE OUR TIME TOGETHER…
You fill out a detailed questionnaire that will be sent to you via email
I review your questionnaire and any social media and websites you provide
You download the Workbook and begin reviewing the strategy
You write down any questions you have for me
We both spend time considering how to best use our time together
AND IT DOESN’T END THERE…
After you have a chance to process what we discuss, fully go through the workbook, make your plan, consider all that you need to do, choose your candidates, conduct interviews, and anything else that you need to do, you can then schedule a follow up session during which we can further discuss anything that you need to review.
You can schedule as many of these as you need. I’m here for you through the entire process and beyond.
A bit about The Workbook…
The Workbook includes a very specifically designed strategy complete with comprehensive lists that guide you through a step-by-step process to assess and plan your unique needs and build your own specific strategy so you can begin your search for the right virtual support team and be completely ready to on-board instead of feel unsure and overwhelmed about how to proceed. By the time you reach out to your potential candidates, you will have a clearly outlined plan that will make the process easier and more efficient for everyone.
After you have your plan in place, put your strategy into action and start delegating tasks, you will finally start realizing that feeling of owning your business instead of feeling like your business owns you.
It’s time to start getting real about all the moving parts of your business and about exactly what tasks you should and shouldn’t be doing. It’s time to learn the tools and strategy that will help you plan and prepare to hire virtual support that makes sense for your unique business needs.

With a strategic Virtual support team you can:
GET MORE DONE
After you make all the lists and create all the action plans, when you have a virtual support team in place you can delegate those tasks and get them done faster. Overloaded with emails? Find someone who can streamline your inbox. Need content for social media? Find someone who can create content in their sleep! Then you can focus on the business part of your business.
FIND SPECIALIZED TALENT
Pay the appropriate amount for the appropriate tasks. If you need a web designer, then hire a web designer and pay for those hours of productivity. Don’t hire someone who knows a bit about setting up a website and pay them a basic wage. Need a logo? Hire a logo designer, get the logo and move on. Pay for hours of productivity from specialized talent, don’t depend on one person with basic skills to be everything for your business.
FREE UP MORE TIME
With a strategic plan in place and basic tasks taken care of, you can free up more time to spend on the more high value tasks of your business that may be getting ignored or put on the back burner because your time keeps getting taken up with repetitive daily tasks, social media, or things that have to get done on a regular basis. More hands on deck means more tasks getting done simultaneously. You may even end up with a little time to yourself!
I’m a Virtual Assistant who helps Entrepreneurs and Business Owners learn the tools and strategies they need to successfully hire virtual support so they can efficiently and effectively buy back their time and get more done by hiring the right Virtual Support.

If you’ve ever worked with a Virtual Assistant or any kind of virtual support, you know how much of a game changer it can be. If you have not, let me show you why that is such an important part of a successful business strategy. Either way, you’re in the right place. I’ve worked with hundreds of clients providing them with virtual support and I’ve learned a lot about the industry. I’ve seen what works, and what doesn’t.
With my strategy, you will learn what I wish all of my clients knew before they hired me!
