[AUDIO] Should You Use A VA To Grow Your Business?

Sent by Jonathan Stark on August 20th, 2018

One of the critical growth points consultants and authorities-in-the-making grapple with is when to hire outside help with your business.

This week on TBOA, Rochelle and I discuss how to decide if you’re ready for a Virtual Assistant—and then dive into how to make it work. We cover how to decide what to offload, what kind of VA you need, how much to pay them and where to find them.
