People often ask me "Stacy, if I could do one thing to grow my small business, what would it be?" Without hesitation I always say, "Hire a team of Virtual Assistants (VA's) to help you with your marketing!"

All too often small business owners fall in the trap of trying to do everything ourselves. I know because I've been there myself. But that just means a lot of things that should or could get done to grow your business, don't. Especially marketing.

Since there's only so much time in a day, and no one's figured out how to clone you yet, you have to get some help. But hiring and training employees is time consuming and costly.

Luckily, thanks to the power of the Internet there's now a solution...Hire a VA.

Since you pay them literally by the minute, and don't have to guarantee them a certain number of hours each week, a VA is a super-affordableoption. Best of all, they come pretrained. So it's easy to get them up to speed and get things done in a jiffy.

Are you overworked and overstressed?

Have you ever wondered how some people seem to get so much done in their businesses—and still have a life?

Do you wish there was more of you to go around?

I used to feel that way all the time. Because like most entrepreneurs, I did it all.

Partly because, in the beginning, I had more time than money…

And partly because I was raised to believe “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself”.

Mind you, I did try outsourcing a few things fairly early on like taxes and bookkeeping. But I didn’t have much luck.

My first bookkeeper royally screwed up my books (it took me two more bookkeepers and $3000 to fix all the mistakes!).

I hired writers then had to rewrite almost the entire text anyway.

Or, I spent so much time following up and lighting fires under people’s butts, that in the end it seemed I could’ve just done it myself with less stress.

It wasn’t long before I was working 15-17 hours a day, 6 day a week! Can you say exhausted?!?

And the only reason I didn’t work the 7th day was it was a waste of time. I was so burnt to a crisp by then I couldn’t get anything worthwhile done.

Thankfully, those days are long gone. So far this year I’ve managed to take almost 1week off each month and still grow my revenues by almost 50%!

How? It’s not by hiring a bunch of employees (though there’s nothing wrong with that per se).

I have 8-10 different sub-contractors who help me get everything done including: a bookkeeper, an accountant, a Web developer, a graphic designer, and a few more folks who I use here and there. But my secret weapon is my team of Virtual Assistants (VA’s)!

What’s a Virtual Assistant, you say?

In my case it’s a group of lovely ladies in the Ottawa area whom I’ve never met in person. They handle everything from updating my Website, to managing my shopping cart, to creating and posting to my blog, doing my PR and much, much more. Heck, they even take care of my holiday cards and gifts!

I love them…Sometimes almost as much as I love my dog.

Every seriously successful entrepreneur I know has their own VA team. And I’ve come to believe every small business owner needs a team of top VA’s working for them.

Of course, you can’t just go out and hire anybody and expect it to be easy. There is a bit of a learning curve to working with people virtually. And there are definitely some pitfalls you want to avoid.

Just like hiring any employee or subcontractor, it helps to know a bit about what their skill set should be. And it also takes some time to learn what you can offload, and how to do it right. Plus, there are a few things you need to know that are specific to hiring a good VA so you don’t end up with problems down the road.

But I can tell you from personal experience it’s soooooooooo worth it!

If you’re ready to:

  • Get out from under that massive to-do list…
  • Put your marketing on auto-pilot
  • Start spending more time working on your business instead of in it (the only way to make it grow)…
  • And get your life back…

You won’t want to miss this LIVE TELECLASS on how to hire and use
Virtual Assistants to grow your business for you!

On this powerful call, you learn:

  • What a Virtual Assistant can do for you
  • Why most entrepreneurs aren’t delegating (and why you need to!)
  • 5 questions you must ask before hiring a VA to avoid hassles and problems down the road
  • How a good VA can help grow and expand your business in ways you never thought possible
  • How to determine what to delegate to your Virtual Assistant, or another sub-contractor
  • What you can expect from hiring a Virtual Assistant
  • How much you should expect to pay a Virtual Assistant
  • Where to find and hire a Virtual Assistant
  • Tips on getting the most from your VA without a ton of hassles and miscommunications
  • Helpful handouts to make the process even easier
  • And much more…

If you’re thinking, “Stacy, this sounds great, but I don’t have the time to even think about this…”, then think again. If you're that strapped for time you REALLY need a VA.

And I promise, if you put what you learn on this call into action, this is going to be one of the most profitable phone calls of your life! Heck, considering I charge $300/hr for consulting, you're getting a killer deal to be able to spend 2.5 hours on the phone with me for just $97 (That's more than 80% off my regular rates!!)

How Can You Know for Sure if Hiring a Virtual Assistant Right for You?

If you...
