Live In Your Zone Of Genius: Why You Need A Virtual Assistant

Want to know the best thing I’ve ever done to maximize my productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness (all while decreasing my burnout?). The answer is simple! I hired a virtual assistant.

This single thing is the biggest productivity tip and time management leson that I can give.

As a working professional, mom of 3 and small business owner for the past 14 years, I’ve basically white knuckled my way through all the admin tasks. I just figured I can do something - so why pay someone else to do it? From reconciling my own Quickbooks, to editing my own Youtube videos and managing my own calendar, I was doing all the things and it was leaving me burned out because I was working in my Zone of Competence (or Incompetence) or heck even Drudgery.

But, it is possible to consistently occupy your Zone of Genius. Once you start offloading and delegating tasks and  in this episode I’m going to step you through how to do so with your virtual assistant.
