Setting Expectations with your Virtual Assistant

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

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

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

  • The magnificent "catch-up" list

You're dreaming too small with Miriam Schulman

You're dreaming too small with Miriam Schulman

Our guest today has been on the show before, but I had to have her back because there was so much we needed to talk about!

Miriam Schulman  is the founder and chief inspiration officer of the top ranked Inspiration Place Podcast.

She inspires art lovers to reconnect with creativity, learn new skills and techniques and profit from their art.

Even if you aren’t an artist, you’ll love this episode:

We talk about:

  • How Miriam was able to transition from having help from a local person to having a team remotely

  • How valuable it is to have weekly team meetings and use a daily report to keep on top of things 

  • Why having your own “swipe left” list of tasks is important

  • The importance of PRDs (Perpetual Revenue Drivers)

  • Why it's important to hire who complements what you already bring to the tablerather than a “Mini Me”

  • Why creating documented systems and processes in your business saves you so much time

  • How her virtual assistants help her as an artist and grow her business

  • How having a team gave her the freedom to be present for her family, and for herself, during a difficult time (and a launch!)

  • Miriam’s philosophy on dreaming big.

Rapid-fire AMA: How to Hire Your Perfect Match VA

Rapid-fire AMA: How to Hire Your Perfect Match VA

This podcast was recorded while I was on the road taking my son to college.

The only reason I can travel and enjoy time with my family while I’m in the midst of my biggest launch to date is because of my amazing team.

That’s what the perfect virtual assistant can do for you, too. When you have the right person, they will be able to handle a variety of tasks that need to get done, AND they’ll also do so much more.

In this episode, I decided to take a rapid fire “ask me anything” approach to answering all of the questions we’ve been receiving on our current workshop that is all about hiring and training your “perfect match” virtual assistant.

The “Baby Step Method” for Creating Systems

The “Baby Step Method” for Creating Systems

Systems are everything when it comes to business growth and business growth.

I’d even go as far as to say that systems are the key to happiness!

That’s true for me, anyway. I love being able to plug into a good, solid system and take out all of the friction. Friction is bad.

In today’s episode I break down the way to create systems for your business.
