How I communicate with my VA

Chris is kind and gentle AND a man on a mission. He does financial modelling for some VERY large property projects. 
 
What I love about this interview is that Chris gave some very specific examples of what his Virtual Assistant does for him. 
 
Including taking his calls when he jumps in the car after a sales call so that he can download them and his Virtual Assistant Giselle can organise everything and start taking action. 
 
Genius!
 
Listen to hear more insights about how he gets support. He even gave me some ideas!

My VA saved me two hours a day

Garry is a marketing guru, but he wasn’t marketing his own business. But like the gardener that does not mow his own lawn. 
 
He just got bogged down working IN his business. 
 
So Garry decided to rectify this by getting support from a Virtual Assistant.
 
Garry owns the strategy and Bev (his part-time Virtual Assistant) does the doing.

ADHD | Clear mind | Working ON the business

I always love speaking to the energetic and adventurous Jo Saunders, Australia’s LinkedIn Demystifier. 
 
In this conversation, she shared with me that she had recently been diagnosed with ADHD and felt like her mind was in a fog. 
 
Getting a Virtual Assistant to support her in her business has been part of her strategy to get a clear mind and have the focus (and the time) to work ON her business, creating LinkedIn courses (the stuff she loves AND is income generating). 
 
Listen to hear how Jo, found the first week of her VA starting really stressful (but worth it) and how she has worked with her amazing VA Critz to progressively expand the scope of support he provides in her business. 
 
A powerful and honest story.
