Is a VA the Wrong First Hire for an Online Business‪?‬ Build Your Expert Business

    • Entrepreneurship

It's normal to think that an offshore general virtual assistant should be your first hire. Many of the online business gurus tell you that.
When the online business gurus and influencers hype VAs, they make it sound like a single offshore VA will be an expert in everything your online business needs, things like tech, content, editing, social media and ads, and willing to work for $5.
They also make it sound like all you have to do is hire the VA and it will take on all those things within days of starting. Oh, if that were true.
But look at James Wedmore, Amy Porterfield, and Pat Flynn or others that you follow. They don't rely on a single, general virtual assistant to run their business.
