The New Nomad

A good assistant is simply heaven-sent, a remote assistant moreso. A virtual assistant provides various services to entrepreneurs or businesses from a remote location. From digital marketing tasks, scheduling appointments and managing events to personal errands. You can make a virtual assistant do almost anything. Jamie Jay, the CEO and Founder of Bottleneck Distance Assistance believes that virtual assistants, or distant assistants, can make your life easier - you have more time to do the things you’re great at while delegating the nitty-gritty tasks.

In this episode of The New Nomad, Jamie joins our hosts, Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in discussing what a blessing a great distant assistant is to business owners.Our three nomads also tackled the things to consider when hiring one especially the cost and the skills as the ways in which a VA can help you and your business are as unique and diverse as the individual VAs are themselves. So if you are thinking of hiring one (or you already have one), this is an episode you don’t ever want to miss.
