Kate Lenihan shares her expertise on how practice owners can successfully hire and work with their first virtual assistant, transitioning from doing everything themselves to strategic delegation.
• More than 95% success rate in matching VAs with business owners
• Calendar management and email are the first tasks most practice owners should delegate
• Just 5 hours of VA support per week can make a significant difference in stress levels
• US-based VAs typically bring more autonomy and contextual understanding than overseas assistants
• Initial 30-45 days of proper onboarding is critical for long-term success
• Stop looking for a "unicorn" VA and instead hire specialists for specific tasks
• Keep a running list of tasks that drain your energy or repeatedly get pushed to next week
• Record video tutorials of your processes to build an SOP library for future hires
• Clear communication about expectations prevents most delegation failures
• Treating your time with the same respect you'd give your best client
