Episode 139: Multiply Your Revenue by Hiring A VA. Insights from AssistPro's Founder, Jenna Spencer
Does this have to be done? Yes. Can I do it? Yes. Do I want to do it? No. Many entrepreneurs struggle with this more often than they'd like to admit, and most of them roll up their sleeves and get things done, hating every minute of it. The world would be different if there were a solution for this, wouldn't it? Oh wait, there is.
In this episode, Jenna Spencer joins us to talk about the multiple benefits and solutions incorporating a Virtual Assistant can bring to our business. Jenna is the Founder of AssistPro®, a virtual assistant company that brings tailored solutions for busy professionals, executives, business coaches, and solopreneurs, granting them top-notch operational and administrative support. Despite her ascension in the corporate ladder, Jenna didn't feel fulfilled, so she decided to start her own thing. Fast forward almost ten years, AssistPro is a reference and leader in the segment.
Throughout our conversation, Jenna talks about her experiences in the corporate world, what made her decide to start her own business, and how it was to grow a business when VAs weren't a thing yet. She explains both sides of the VA world, how to connect with the right one, and how to start working as one. You'll also hear her thoughts on detaching our emotions from the tasks we don't want to do as entrepreneurs, the importance of setting clear expectations, and why we must embrace delegating.
Additionally, we discuss AI proper use, fractional work, VA pricing, what the future looks like for remote jobs, and much more.
