Hey! Do I Need a VA?

Many times overwhelmed entrepreneurs are told to “hire a virtual assistant” but not how to do it or what to look for. The term Virtual Assistant (VA) is not a one-size-fits-all. When clients hire someone without knowing all the facts it can result in bad experiences or worse the entrepreneur walking away from much needed support. This podcast is what actual VAs want potential clients to know about the pros and cons of working with virtual support. We will explore topics like: What is a VA?What can a VA help with?How much does a VA cost?Working with a VA goes beyond your task list.What is the interview process? And who leads it?What preparation should a client do before hiring a VAAnd so much more…Hosted by Rachael Davila with Extra Hands! Virtual Assistance. She brings 18+ years of administrative and business owner experience to the mic, along with a cast of virtual assistant friends and colleagues who bring different backgrounds, view points and skill sets. Listeners will get a peek into the world of virtual assistants and hear stories, strategies and successes to thrive within the virtual workforce. Through our episodes we hope to educate, inspire, and motivate business owners to do the necessary pre-work before navigating the journey to find, hire and work with a virtual assistant.

    Business Planning

    This week, we’re joined by special guest Lynn Lambrecht, AKA The Living Planner®. Lynn created The Living Planner® by drawing from her global aviation career and emergency response experience. Responding to three aviation crashes taught her invaluable lessons about preparedness and resilience. With her business, she helps people proactively prepare for life's challenges rather than just reacting to crises. Her focus is on guiding clients through difficult transitions with preventative strategies for unexpected diagnoses, accidents, losses, and business disruptions. During this episode, we talk about how being prepared is crucial for your business and what your VA can do to help. From business continuity to backup plans, we cover it all!

    The Financial Mindset with Jessica Kleine

    In this episode we welcome our first Specialist Guest of the season. Sometimes a client has to make room for a VA, or in this case, work through the mindset of money before hiring someone. That’s where the wonderful Jessica Kleine from MindSET Financial Coaching can help. Jessica Kleine is a money coach who helps women entrepreneurs get rid of guilt and shame around money so they can make confident, aligned decisions. When she’s not rewriting money stories, she’s homeschooling, competing in archery tournaments, painting, or chasing dragons in a good romantasy. If you want to learn about how entrepreneurs can have more than enough (time, money, energy) without feeling bad about it, then this is the episode for you! We dive into this topic and discuss Jessica’s three elements of abundance: mindset, money, and magic. If you’re interested in finding Jessica, the fastest way to reach her would be through a FB message(@jessicakleine02), but email is a solid second-choice option (jessica@mindsetfinancialcoaching.com).
