I know you will find my guest to have valuable insight and ideas about being even more time efficient as it relates to finding the best A team player or players for you, so you can accelerate the achievement of your goals.
In 2017, Nicole Bandes founded Virtual A Team, a virtual services agency helping overwhelmed business owners who want to define success by the wealth of their lives, not the size of their bank accounts. Nicole now walks the walk by working less than 20 hours a week herself. When she is working, she shares tips to work less and make more by delegating smarter.
Here are a few questions I asked Nicole that you will benefit from by listening to her interview:
· No matter how efficient we are now, being even more productive and better at time management is something that we all need to work on to some degree. How do we become even better delegators, so that we are doing ONLY what we can do and can't be done by someone else?
· How do we determine if hiring a VA (freelancers and contractors) versus a person in house (or remote employee) is better or not, in today's world?
· What is the best way to vet an Agency who is trying to find us the best VA for our business? What should they be asking us and what should we be expecting from them?
· What is the best way to vet the VA to help ensure that they are the best person to help us take our business to the next level?
· What should we expect to pay for a VA based on what we need?
· I have had so many people I know who have not had good luck with a VA or a VA Agency. What is the best way for us to navigate this situation?
· What do I do if I have someone working for me (for 5 to 15 years) who helped me get to where I'm at today, but they don't have the skills or desire to do what it takes to take my business to the next level? What do I say to them and how do I transition them out and bring on someone new who can help me take my business to the next level?

In a survey of business professionals, when asked they consistently feel they waste approximately 2 hours a day, which translates to 10 hours a week, etc. Use a time log to help you know where you are actually spending your time during the day. Periodically use this time log for a 2-week period of time to help you continue to be time efficient. This tool can be utilized by everyone on your team at the same time.
