Rate this book
Why are you doing EVERYTHING yourself?

What would you do if you had even one more hour a day devoted solely to growing your business and making more money?

Virtual assistants will make your life easier by taking the stress out of your business life. As a small business owner, you need more time so you can make more money and stay competitive in an ever-changing world.

If you’re spending less than 70 percent of your time on work that doesn’t generate revenue, isn’t building relationships, or isn’t creating new products, then you’re not spending enough time on your business. It means you’re spending too much time in your business.

This book will show you why Virtual Assistance (VA) is the answer.
Hire the Right Virtual Assistant is the complete guide to:
• Know what a VA is and how they differ from Executive Assistants
• Understand the benefits and need of a VA – it’s more than just outsourcing
• Hiring the right VA the first time in less time than you think
• Finally be able to use the VA right away to make the biggest impact in your business and free up your time

If you had time right now to work on your business instead of in it, what could you do? Could you make a sale? Visit a client and earn more business? Make another 20 calls a day to land more clients? Work the pipeline? Network? Think about your proven method to gain more clients. Using that method, how many more clients could you have if you had more time? This is where you put a VA to work for you. They work in your business so you can work on your business.

I promise that hiring a VA will be the best decision you make for your business. You will get back your time.

I absolutely wish this book would have been available a few years ago! As small business owners, my husband and I were doing it all, and the business was devouring our lives. We ended up closing our business at a point when we possibly could have continued if we had a VA to take over some specific tasks for us. Author Melissa Smith asks a great question that would have been of benefit to us: Just because business owners CAN do it all, should they try to do it all? We self-taught or took classes in order to learn each and every task that needed done because we couldn't afford full time help, when for a fraction the cost of hiring a full time assistant we could have hired a Virtual Assistant. Hindsight is 20/20, but moving forward we will utilize the author's advice!

Work /Life Balance found in Delegation and Letting Go

Right from the opening page it is clear that author Melissa Smith has a clear idea of business needs and how best to manage time and delegate to maximise productivity. Her passion and expertise combine to offer us clear scope for reorganising our businesses. Hiring a Personal Virtual Assistant is demystified in this concise and detailed book. I recommend it for any business person who suffers from distraction and overwork.

This book by Melissa Smith is a very complete and informative work on what a virtual assistant is, how they can be a part of your business and how to hire them effectively. Her 70/30 rule hit home for me. I especially liked the chapter on how to interview a VA. The questions she suggests asking are a real eye opener. I also like her idea about hiring VA's within the U.S. This is so true!

Beyond VA

I was blown away by how practical this book is! Melissa not only used her own experience as a VA but also her journey to help other people finding VA to demonstrate how to use VA to make her life amazing. She also teaches us how to do that in the book. The best practices she shared is more than just for VA. As an entrepreneur who is always battling with hiring and managing employee, I learned so much from what Melissa share about VA and can use them in my team management. Highly recommended!

I've read a ton of business books. It's difficult to find one that strikes the right balance between philosophy and practical application. This book nails it. I felt I understood, in principle the approach I should take to hiring a VA. I also felt like I had an excellent check list to tackle and execute the task of hiring a VA.

While the laser focus of this book is clearly around the why and how of hiring a VA, I felt you could apply all the same thinking to hiring an in-office employee. There are some excellent tips in here for being a good boss and correctly expanding your team, virtual or otherwise.

Good advice

This is the instruction manual that online gurus neglect to give you en they tell me to hire a virtual assistant. I'm glad one of them decide to share how to find a good one. I hate wasting money, but after reading this book, I think I can hire one with confidence.
