Struggling with productivity? Tangled up in tech?
What if you didn’t have to handle it all by yourself?
Learn how a Virtual Assistant can help streamline your operations and free up time for you to focus on where you can do the most good: serving your clients.
Queenie Verhoeven has been a treasured member of my team for several years now: I could not imagine running my business without her. A proactive virtual assistant and now, strategic Project Integrator, she has a way of making things just work.
And that makes my life so much easier. 💗
Join us as we explore what a VA is (and is not!) and how the right one on your team can catapult your success.
In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What a virtual assistant is, and is not.
• The difference between hiring a VA and hiring an employee.
• Types of roles a VA can fill, and how they can contribute to your success.
• How to know what to hire for first.

And more.
Enjoy!
