Thoughts from Marcus on the Mastermind Day with Mike
Learn – the big lesson from Mike’s visit was to hire a VA to buy back our time. Discussing what you can actually give a VA to do was very helpful. I started implementing the VA, but the person I hired found a full-time client before her first day with me. I now have a growing list of tasks for my VA as I get used to the idea that I can delegate some of my work and I have a bank account for the VA that I have started putting funds aside for the VA.
