Scale More Profitably. with highly trained international virtual assistants. Free VA trial
Are you tired of hiring virtual assistants (VAs) that don’t deliver? Most people think the assistant is the issue. They assume the VA didn’t understand the job, wasn’t motivated, or just wasn’t the right fit. In most cases, the problem starts before the VA ever logs in.
Let’s discuss what really goes wrong when entrepreneurs hire virtual help, and how you can avoid the mistakes I made.
Why your VA didn’t work out. When I hired my first virtual assistant, I didn’t have a plan. I didn’t train them. I didn’t give them systems or clear instructions. I just expected them to figure it out. And guess what? They didn’t.
I couldn’t tell you what their name was or even what they looked like. I barely spoke to them. Then I got frustrated when they didn’t do what I wanted. But looking back, they didn’t even know what I wanted. That was my fault.
Hiring a VA is like hiring any employee. If you don’t lead them well, they can’t help you. It doesn’t matter if they live in your city or halfway around the world. People need direction, support, and communication.
Once I started documenting my processes, giving step-by-step instructions, and checking in with them for just 20 minutes a day, everything changed. My VA became productive. My business became more organized. And I finally had the freedom I was looking for.
How I turned my failure into a win. After things turned around, I even visited my team overseas. I met their families and held their children, and in that moment, it became about more than just work. It became about leadership, connection, and doing things the right way.
The big shift happened when I stopped trying to figure it out on my own. I got help and followed a system that showed me how to hire, train, and lead my VA the right way. That’s what made the difference. It didn’t take hours of training or some fancy degree. It took just a little attention each day. Small, consistent actions created big results.
It’s not too late to fix it. The key is learning how to lead with simple systems, clear communication, and daily structure. You don’t need to be a management expert. You just need a better approach.
