Hire Your First VA

Six retainer clients is where most solo operators hit a ceiling: the reports run late, the weekends disappear, and the sales pipeline is the first thing to suffer. This practical guide walks you through handing off the work safely. You will run the capacity math that tells you when to hire, audit your tasks to decide what to delegate first, write a role spec, post a job that filters for the right person, interview and run a paid trial, then onboard with a day-by-day handoff week and quality checks that do not require hovering. Every chapter ends with an assignment, and together they add up to a complete hiring kit for first-time managers.
