You need the *right* help NOW, so that you can focus on growing your business and doing the stuff you enjoy (and stop working 24/7 doing the “little” things)[/heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Believe me guys, I get it….

You want help in your business – you probably have a list of to-dos a mile long that you would LOVE to give to someone else to take care of. Not to mention the things that you know need to be done but have NO idea how to do yourself (like all that technical stuff, ugh!)

But where do you start? How do you go about hiring the help you need?

If you are like many of the business owners I talk to you may find yourself stuck and frustrated:

  • You are not hiring at all because you have no idea who you need to hire, let alone where to find them and what to give to them (and so you suffer through, trying to do everything on your own)
  • You have tried hiring someone but found that it wasn’t a match (and actually ended up creating more work for you in the end)
  • You hired someone and it’s going OK… but something feels off and you wonder what you are missing? (and are starting to question if it’s even worth it)

The bottom line is this – if you truly want to make a difference with your business you can’t do everything on your own (nor do you want to right?) So as frustrating as it may feel to you right now, hiring is a necessity in business… and you deserve to get the best help possible for you and your business![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][image_with_animation image_url=”3610″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In”][vc_column_text]Let me tell you a bit about my background and why this is an issue that is near and dear to my heart. I’ve been working online since 1999, and in that time I’ve played 3 roles:

  1. The virtual support professional, having worked as an Online Business Manager for various 6 and 7-figure businesses.
  2. The business owner, having hired my own team to support my growing 6-figure business.
  3. The matchmaker, having helped hundreds of business owners to find and hire the virtual support they need.

I’ve “been around the block” when it comes to hiring. My experience has given me the unique perspective of being able to see both sides of the coin and I can tell you unequivocally that…

There are some amazingly dedicated, talented and enthusiastic virtual support professionals out there who are chomping at the bit to work with you!

I know the virtual support industry pretty well. Not only have I worked side-by-side with an array of support professionals over the years, I’ve also been training them since 2005.

There are some great people out there ready for hire, but you need to know how to find, hire and work with the *right* ones for you and your business.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][heading]
Crossing your fingers and hoping that the right person will show up is not enough (I’ve tried it and it doesn’t work 😉

You Need a Reliable Hiring System that Supports Your Long Term Growth and Success.

[/heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Unfortunately we don’t have an HR department to take care of this stuff for us, so the responsibility falls on our plate. And if we aren’t sure how to find the help we need we may default to throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping that someone – and some process – will stick!

When we are so afraid of hiring – afraid of not finding the right person, afraid of hiring the wrong person, afraid of wasting a bunch of money and then having to hire all over again – we may jump at the first person that pops up and say, “Thank goodness! I’ll just hire this person then I don’t have to deal with this anymore.”

This was the impetus for my Stop Settling Manifesto… I found myself so tired of seeing everyone struggle that I decided to take a stand! So that you no longer have to “settle” for the wrong kind of help. (If you don’t have a copy of my manifesto yet click here to grab your instant download.)

Hiring from a place of wanting relief, of being afraid and not quite sure how to deal with this whole team-building thing… when you hire from that kind of shaky foundation, it’s inevitable that things will fall apart.

When you have an effective hiring process in place – as system designed to support your long-term goals as a business owner – you can easily:

  1. Find and hire the right virtual support professionals for your team (and put down the spaghetti).
  2. Create strong, healthy working relationships that add to – not take away from – your entrepreneurial energy!

I’m sure you won’t be surprised if I say right here (Did I just hear a sigh of relief?)
