Episode Details

Ever feel like your to-do list is never-ending? Nonprofit leaders, founders, and busy professionals are juggling way too much—and it’s keeping you from the work that actually moves the needle. That’s why I brought in VA expert and business coach, Sara Wiles, to talk about a total game-changer: hiring a virtual assistant. We’re breaking down exactly how hiring a virtual assistant can transform your productivity, free up your time, and (finally) get those bottom-of-the-list tasks off your plate. If you’re feeling overworked, under-supported, and desperate for more breathing room, this episode will show you how to hire smart and reclaim your time—without blowing your budget.

Topics:

• Sara’s journey from corporate event planning to running an online virtual assistant business
• Why nonprofit leaders waste way too much time on the wrong tasks
• The real ROI of hiring an assistant (and why it’s more affordable than you think)
• How to identify what tasks to offload and find the right VA for your needs
• Why feedback loops are crucial for a successful VA relationship
• The hiring process: what to look for, how much to pay, and how to onboard smoothly
• The power of personal connection in nonprofit storytelling (yes, YOU need to be in your content!)
• How VAs can help with influencer outreach & donor engagement
