The Ultimate Guide to Hiring a Virtual Assistant | Anna Li

This week, we will be sitting down with the amazing Anna Li, a business owner, entrepreneur, and real estate investor. Together, we will be discussing a subject that’s on everyone’s minds right now (and if you’ve scrolled through TikTok any time in the past year, then you know this is a popular subject): Why you should hire yourself a VA. You see, as an entrepreneur, especially as a female entrepreneur, you probably have a thousand things to juggle every single day. Like it or not, women in business don’t get to just be the best at their job and call it a day. They also have to take on a lot of other work, emotional work, unpaid house labor, childcare, etc…  Yes, things are getting better, but many female entrepreneurs and investors still bite off more than they can chew, and this is why they have to learn how to delegate. That’s where a virtual assistant comes into handy. Anna went through this exact scenario when she found herself busy managing her corporate responsibilities, running multiple businesses, and taking care of her three kids.  So, she decided to hire a virtual assistant. She discovered that outsourcing her "busy work" to virtual assistants freed up her time and allowed her to focus on more important things.  This realization inspired Anna to start a global staffing company that helps busy business operators become strategic business owners and free up their time. And today, she tells us all about her journey and her best-kept VA secrets. Are you ready? Let’s dive in.
