068: Hiring Your First Virtual Assistant & How To Outsource with Hannah Murphy Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

Who in the room has ever wanted to outsource their work, or hire a Virtual Assistant (also called a VA), but did NOT know where to start? I basically had my hand raised for this one a year ago. But instead of chatting about this topic myself, I’m bringing in expert Hannah Murphy with Hannah and Co!

Hannah helps entrepreneurs go from stressed out to streamlined by helping them create a business with their real life in mind. She’s both an active Virtual Assistant for many of her business owning clients, and a leading educator in the industry as well.

Hannah was that business owner who worked 7 days a week and was desperate to have overnight success. The business world had a lot of noise about how she should spend her time and grow her business - yet it wasn't effective. Hannah realized a productive schedule wasn't doing the wrong tasks quickly, it was finding the right tasks that actually worked and grew her business from 3 clients to 27 clients in 6 months.

CRAZZZZY right? This episode is going to knock your socks off, I promise! Let’s get into it!

I have a true-life story for you today with many lessons learned on how NOT to sell. We recently purchased a home that was in need of a TON of renovations.
