    Taking Business International at 83 Years Old

    What happens when you stop doing everything yourself? For Russell Johnson the answer was freedom to think bigger and the momentum to act. Russell is 83 years old and sharper than ever. After years of taking on too much, he finally had a way to delegate when he hired a virtual assistant. Now with two VAs, he has freed himself to see the big picture, raise his sights, and plan to take the business international. The real secret he shares is simple. Trust people and want the best for them. They care about him, he cares about them, and they are building something they believe in together. We talk about • Why delegation became an urgent imperative • The habit that kept him stuck and how he broke it • How two VAs moved him from tasks to strategy and international thinking If you are a business owner with a passion for creating content but need support to get it out, this episode is for you.

    I had the pleasure of chatting with Marissa Candy, founder and CEO of The Marketing Factory, who decided to take her business to the next level by building a team of Virtual Assistants to support their growing client base.
