SUMMARY
Over the years, I’ve learned the hard way that my energy needs to be focused on revenue-generating tasks, not on the small, tedious jobs that can easily be delegated. This is why hiring a virtual assistant has been a game-changer for me, and in this video, I share my exact process for bringing on an efficient VA who can handle everything from admin tasks to customer support.

If you're an entrepreneur looking to grow your business without burning out, this video is for you. I break down step-by-step how to identify the right tasks to delegate, how to create a compelling job post on Upwork, and the importance of using a video filter to screen applicants. I also discuss how hiring a VA, even part-time, can lead to significant growth and a better work-life balance. By the end of this video, you’ll have a clear roadmap to hiring a virtual assistant who can help you double or even triple your business in just a few short weeks.
