After losing her 17 y/o son, Nicole Bandes discovered her purpose: encourage others to make time for what matters most. In 2017, Nicole founded Virtual A Team, a virtual services agency helping overwhelmed coaches and consultants who want to define success by the wealth of their lives, not the size of their bank accounts. Nicole now walks the walk working less than 20 hours a week and also hosts the Coach’s Copilot: Your Online Business Manager podcast. In this episode you will learn:1. The different paths one can take when hiring virtual assistants (VAs) and the importance of having systems and processes in place.2. The common misconceptions about what VAs can do and tips on effective delegation, time management, and productivity.3. The significant change in the VA industry due to the increased awareness of remote work options brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and how to delegate smarter and be more efficient delegators through virtual trainings offered by Nicole.Take a short online survey to determine the value of your time, so you know exactly how much you can afford to pay someone when delegating. https://virtualateam.com/optins/calculator/We're happy you're here!
