Why This Entrepreneur Still Flies Solo, Without a VA with Brian Fanzo Panic-Proof Radio

Digital futurist, keynote speaker, and multi-hyphenate Brian Fanzo has done a lot of soul-searching over the years. He knows that being brutally honest with yourself is one of the keys to successful entrepreneurship (and successful human-hood, honestly). He has done many of the things we at Don’t Panic Management recommend to those who are thinking about hiring a VA. He’s tracked his time to see where his hours go each week. He’s identified the tasks he dreads doing that could probably be delegated. But Brian has come out on the other side of this work still firm in his conviction that a VA is not the right fit for him right now. Hear why that is on his episode.

Key Takeaways

Self-awareness is the key to a better life—personally and professionally. Be so honest with yourself that you uncover things you wouldn’t want your closest friends, partner, or family to know.
Hiring a VA isn’t really about what the hire gives you back, it’s about what you aren’t forced to give up when you have a second set of hands.
Learn how to block your time in a way that makes sense for you. Morning person? Do your heavy-lifting in the AM. Night owl? Do strategic deep-dives after the rest of the household is asleep. There is no one-size-fits-all model for productivity.
