Setting Expectations with your Virtual Assistant
So often I hear from people who have hired virtual assistants in the past and have been unsuccessful…they are really frustrated. And honestly, I think that 90% of the time it's because of a failure to communicate expectations.
The good news is that there are very simple and effective ways to set clear (and reasonable) expectations!
In this short episode, I walk you through those steps, and share some of my best tips for communicating your expectation so that you can work in lock step with your “perfect match” virtual assistant.
The Actual ROI of Having a Virtual Assistant
Last week we talked about how you could go on vacation for a month if you have a VA, and what you can actually expect of them to not only keep your business running, but how to make sure it thrives.
Today, I want to talk to you about the thriving part, because a lot of people don't realize that beyond the built-in ROI or return on investment of having a VA, there's an actual direct ROI if you set things up correctly with your virtual assistant.
I also share:
💰 the “built-in” ROI of a virtual assistant
💰 what perpetual revenue drivers are and how they directly affect the bottom line in your business
💰 how to leverage your team to add value to all of your existing offers
💰 how my VA increased the value of my signature program, Front Row CEO, exponentially
What to Expect From Your VA When You Are on Vacation
Can you leave for vacation knowing that your business is fine without you?
Well, yes!
I just finished a one-month European tour and it was amazing - it was a true vacation! Meaning, I left my laptop at home.
I was able to do this because my team kept the business running without me.
If you are ready to ditch the laptop and hit the highway, but are unsure what you should expect from your virtual assistant or from your team, this episode is for you!
I also share:
Why I don’t recommend the "laptop lifestyle".
Why you don’t have to worry about traveling for a month or so
How your VA should protect your time while you’re on vacation
Why your VA should handle your inbox

Eat Your Plants Off with Stefanie Ignoffo
In this brand new podcast episode, I chat with Stefanie Ignoffo, the founder of Plantspiration NFP Inc., and Food For Life Instructor with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

But when I discovered Stefanie Ignoffo, I knew I HAD to have her on the show! Her story is amazing and her energy and passion is off the charts. You’ll see what I mean when you listen.
