Q: HELP. . . How to hire a Virtual Assistant?


"There is no such thing as a self-made man.
You will reach your goals only with the help of others."
Gearge Shinn, Owner of Charlotte Hornets basketball team

If you want to have the ultimate leverage, you must find team players and not always do they have to be employees. Consider hiring Virtual Assistants who are hired on contract basis AKA 1099 in the USA.

Hiring Virtual Assistants can be a huge leverage of your time and resources. If you haven't hired anyone yet on your team, consider hiring the following Starter Team for growing your business.
A 'Starter Team' consists of: Bookkeeper, Administrative Support & Internet/Technical Support.


Before rushing to hire someone, there are 4 rules to creating a winning TEAM and it begins with you FIRST:

1) Create Your Inner and Outer Leadership Plan
2) Take accountability for Your End Results
3) Be disciplined in Focusing on Your Highest Payoff Activities
4) Be ruthless in delegating everything else

In rule #1- there are 4 areas you need to grow and develop to become a confident successful leader:

  • Mindset (CEO Mindset, confident, decisive) ,
  • Actions (must have ruthless time management, regular check ins, leveraging others talents, superior planning & communication),
  • Environment (Systemize work flow, information sharing tools, open positive communication, surround self with other successful leaders)
  • and Knowledge (know when to Manage vs. Lead, awareness of personal strengths & weaknesses, best technology & resources for Virtual Teams)

ACTION: Examine these 4 rules and ask yourself where do you fall short? What are you already doing that's supporting your professional growth?


Rule #2 - Taking Accountability for your End Results - what you ultimate want to create.

  • Ask yourself where do you want to be in 3 years both personally and professionally?
  • What are you doing today specifically that is supporting you in being on track for your End Result?
  • What kind of TEAM do you need to create in the next 90 days to ensure that you will be on track?
  • Write out this process even if you're not 100% clear right now of what you ultimately want. By writing what you do know down, you'll be on the road to clarity a whole lot sooner.


Next issue we'll cover #3 & #4, but for now if you want to fully benefit from this process - I support you to keep up to date every 2 weeks.
