Rachael Davila is a delegation and implementation strategist, author, speaker and the founder of Extra Hands! Virtual Assistance. With more than 20 years on both sides of the VA and client relationship, she hosts the Hey! Do I Need a VA? podcast and wrote the book of the same name to help business owners hire the right support and grow without burning out.
Key Discussion Themes:
• Doers vs. collaborators, and how to hear the difference before you hire
• Why one task on your list is an iceberg of everything underneath it
• Recording a walkthrough with the why explained when you don't have SOPs yet
• Leading with one VA, letting go of control, and letting good enough be good enough
• Start where you are, start small and build trust
Listener Takeaway:
Before you hire, talk to at least three VAs and listen for whether they ask to be told what to do or start offering solutions, then pick the type that matches what you need.
