About this episode
In this episode, Julianna Yau Yorgan and Hannah Goodman discuss the importance of delegating tasks to virtual assistants and how to effectively find and work with them.
Leaders and business-owners alike are always encouraged to focus on higher value work and delegating “the rest”. But how do you actual go about it and who do you trust with your business-critical tasks? In this episode, I unpack the how, who and when of delegating to a VA with Hannah Goodman, a professional EA who now mentors aspiring VAs on how to launch and grow their own VA business. In this true conversation between two business-owners seeing both sides of working with a VA, we talk about: the benefits of starting to work with a VA before you’re at capacity, where to find your perfect VA who understands your business, and how to get started with them without over-committing before you’re sure they’re “the one”. And if you’re looking to start your own VA business, stay tuned for Part 2 of our mini-series next month, where Hannah will walk you through exactly how to get started!
