Too many creatives fear that systems will make their business feel cold and or like a robot.

But the right approach to your systems can create a high-touch and warm experience for your clients that allows them to feel taken care of personally while giving you the capacity to go above and beyond in other areas.

Sarah Potts, the owner of a virtual assistant agency, shares how you can create systems and delegate in a way that allows you to bring authenticity to every client touchpoint while also giving you the capacity to serve more deeply and sustain the energy you need to run your business long-term.

04:25 — Why creatives should hire a virtual assistant

05:31 — How you can use the right systems to create a more premium service

08:16 — How to infuse personality and authenticity into automation and systems

14:48 — Why not delegating and systematizing is preventing you from showing up as the full creative you area

19:40 — A sustainable business isn’t just profitability — it’s sustaining your level of output

21:47 — How to know what to delegate first (or next) and how to effectively delegate it
