SOAR TO SUCCESS / Book Recommendation Hire the Right Virtual Assistant: How the Right VA Will Make Your Life Easier, Create Time, and Make You More Money By Melissa Smith One thing I’ve learned from my over seventeen years in business, working with hundreds of entrepreneurs, is that the individuals that never seem to make it past GO, are the ones that try to do everything themselves. They havemore time thanmoney and waste it by doing things that could easily be turned over to someone else, freeing up their time to focus on growing their business. Hiring a VA is the perfect solution for these folks, but that can be intimidating. Not true, after you read Melissa Smith’s book. I especially like Chapter 2, Why and When You Need to Hire the Right VA. Melissa highlights the top ten most common reasons you might need to hire a VA. Check it out and see if you recognize yourself. Two other great aspects of this book are the summarizes at the end of each chapter. Since I’m a skimmer, I actually lookat thesummaryfirst and then go back to read the parts that I know I’ll benefit from…sometimes the entire chapter! The second is that this book comes with an added bonus, The PVA Interactive Hiring Workbook®. You can download this workbook to help you organize all of the instructions, best practices, notes, and information you need for every step of the way! Go ahead, do yourself a favor and hire a VA. Melissa Smith’s book can be your guide for the entire process.
