How to make sure your next VA hire is better than your last

Already had your first hire and it didn’t work out? Perhaps you relate to one of these scenarios:

  • You dipped your toes in the world of VAs only to have a bad experience
  • You’re not convinced hiring another VA is going to help you so you keep doing the work yourself and can’t keep up with everything
  • Feeling like it’s all too hard and you aren’t cut out to be a leader

Don’t allow a bad choice to influence your whole business growth strategy!

It also means you might tar all VAs with the same brush and miss out on working with someone amazing.
