4 Steps to Elation (How to Hire Your Perfect VA)

“You aren't going to rewire these limiting beliefs overnight. They will probably always be a part of your history and of your narrative, but you can recognize them and check them at the door,” explains host, Dr. Lara Salyer. You may think hiring a virtual assistant is not for you, because you believe no one can do your job as well as you can. However, when you find the perfect VA for you, they can catalyze tremendous growth and help reduce your risks of burnout.

 

Step one is to check your limiting beliefs at the door. Ask yourself if these beliefs are really true and recognize them for what they are. Next, make a list of redundancies and wishes that you notice popping up consistently. Then, begin writing down your Standard Operating Procedures or SOPs. Lastly, build your communication loops for necessary feedback. 

 

The right virtual assistant can help you grow your practice more than you could ever have imagined when trying to do it all on your own. Learn the four steps for hiring the perfect VA for you.
