Are you hiring virtual assistants the wrong way?


Bringing on a VA should make your life easier—but if you're struggling with delegation, you might be setting them (and yourself) up for failure. The key to scaling isn’t just hiring help—it’s hiring the right help and managing them effectively.


Welcome back to Built with VAs Podcast! In this episode, I’m sharing three essential steps to hiring virtual assistants the right way. You’ll learn why attitude matters more than skills, how to set clear priorities, and why tracking results—not hours—will transform your team’s performance.


Hiring a VA isn’t just about getting more done—it’s about freeing yourself to focus on the work that moves the needle. Whether you’re hiring your first VA or refining your delegation process, these strategies will help you build a high-performing team that fuels your growth.


💡 Discover how to:

-Hire based on attitude and problem-solving skills—not just experience

-Set clear priorities so your VA knows exactly what success looks like

How to Let Go of What You're Bad At

What if trying to improve your weaknesses is actually holding you back? ⚠️


In this week’s Built with VAs episode, I’m going to challenge the common belief that you need to focus on fixing your weaknesses. In fact, I believe leaning into your strengths is the real secret to success.


I’ll dive into why it’s smarter to double down on what you’re already great at, and I’ll share examples from some of the most successful leaders like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, who achieved greatness by embracing their strengths rather than wasting time on their weaknesses.


Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • How focusing on your natural talents can accelerate your progress.
  • Why trying to fix your weaknesses might actually be a waste of time.
  • How to build a team that complements your strengths and supports your vision.
  • The best ways to manage your weaknesses by delegating instead of trying to fix them.
  • The real ROI of playing to your strengths and how it can fuel your growth.


I’ll also discuss how to apply this mindset to your business and virtual assistant team, helping you streamline your operations and maximize your impact. If you're ready to stop wasting time on things you're not good at, tune in and discover how to do it smarter!

Use this Simple Formula to Find Out What Your TIME is Worth!

😩 How often do you find yourself overwhelmed by endless tasks that don't seem to move your business forward?


You’re doing the work, but the results? 🤔 Not so much.


It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you have to do everything yourself to save money or stay in control. But trying to handle every little thing is probably what’s keeping you from scaling up.


So, how do you break free from this cycle?


It starts with understanding where your ⏰ time is really going.


⏳ Time is your most valuable resource. If you’re not using it well, you’re wasting it.


Are you spending your hours on tasks that actually push your business to grow? Or are you stuck in a loop of emails and other low-level admin tasks that don’t drive your revenue?


👉 In this episode, I'll show you how to:


a. Audit your daily tasks and identify what’s truly driving your revenue

b. Understand your productivity rate and how it can revolutionize your time management approach

c. Learn how virtual assistants can help you offload tasks that aren’t contributing to your business

d. Stop wasting time on low-value tasks and focus on what drives results


It’s hard to let go, but it’s necessary. Delegating the right tasks helps you focus on the bigger picture, giving you more space to grow.


🎧 Check out the podcast for more and know WHEN to delegate! You can’t create more hours in the day—but you can make every hour count. ⏱️💯
