Tom Hunt is a real interesting character. He told me he moved to Poland so he could finally get a bunch of work done on his startup. Before that he was living like a king in Venezuela with black market currency exchange.
His first venture was selling men's leggings - which I can totally get behind. When I was a speedskater, my mom used to make me neon colored tights to race in!
From giving a TED talk to hosting his own podcast, Tom is all about letting people look under the hood of Virtual Valley on the way to his goal of selling it for $1 million.
Virtual Valley is a curated marketplace for Virtual Assistants (VA's) so that you can hire someone in "7 clicks and 5 minutes".
In this episode he will tell us how to calculate the value of our time so we know when we should be hiring someone, and how to manage our remote teams.
This is a great episode for you if you are running a location independent business or need to start outsourcing some of your work because you got too busy!
What you will learn in this episode:
-How to prioritize and manage your return on investment
-How to grow a million dollar business
-How Tom survived in Venezuela while carrying around a bag full of cash
-How to think about human biology for business
-Tom's online marketing secrets
-How to create spreadsheets for your marketing avenues and calculate where your time and money goes
