4. How has working with a virtual assistant helped you overcome daily challenges associated with being a business owner?

My virtual assistant is an expert with my email marketing tool, which is an absolutely essential part of my growth strategy.  It would take me 4 times as long to do what she does, and I would do a poor job. I dislike this type of work, and she loves it. A CEO needs to evaluate what they don’t like and what they are not good at, and delegate it to someone who loves that work, so that they are then free to do what a CEO does best, which is executing on their strategy and vision.

5. What advice would you give to anyone thinking about working with a virtual assistant?

Call Assistant Match!  If they need further convincing, they should draw a quadrant with these titles on the boxes:   1: Love/Good at it;  2: Love/Not good at it  3: Don’t like/good at it 4: Don’t like/not good at it. Anything not in Box #1 should be delegated/outsourced to an expert. Skip the entry-level route and go right to the expert for dependable results, lower stress, and a strong ROI.

6. How do you market your business and which methods have proven most successful?

Word of mouth, face-to-face networking, outreach through my blog
