The Front Row Podcast for Entrepreneurs

Today, we’re talking about building a secret society.I know…you’re probably thinking “that's a weird topic”...…but when Michael F. Schein (Head Hype Man at MicroFame Media, and author of the “Hype Handbook”) emailed me and shared that he had been exploring secret societies as a way of building relationships and scaling business, I knew I wanted to hear more. I mean, if you put “secret” in front of something, doesn't it kind of force you to want to know more???So I took the bait and I'm so glad I did. Mike shares some really compelling things with us:✔️ How he conducted an experiment of creating a secret society, and his surprising results ✔️What the difference is between building a secret society and networking✔️ How to select the people for your own secret society✔️ Why you might want to consider starting a secret society of your own

So often people tell me that they would love to hire a virtual assistant, but they are afraid they won't have enough work for them to do. They dread the thought of having to stay on top of creating new work for the VA.This episode shows you how recurring tasks lists erases this problem!Take a listen and tell me what you think!

In this episode, I talk about the mindset we all need to adopt in order to succeed with a virtual team. Specifically: ✔ Why letting go is important for you to become the visionary and leader of your team✔ Why you should look at hiring a virtual assistant as an investment rather than as an expense✔ Why you need to trust your VA rather than being fearful of working with them✔Tools than can help you protect yourself as a business owner✔ Why it's okay to slow down to speed up 

So often I hear from people who have hired virtual assistants in the past and have been unsuccessful…they are really frustrated. And honestly, I think that 90% of the time it's because of a failure to communicate expectations. The good news is that there are very simple and effective ways to set clear (and reasonable) expectations! In this short episode, I walk you through those steps, and share some of my best tips for communicating your expectation so that you can work in lock step with your “perfect match” virtual assistant.

Last week we talked about how you could go on vacation for a month if you have a VA, and what you can actually expect of them to not only keep your business running, but how to make sure it thrives.  Today, I want to talk to you about the thriving part, because a lot of people don't realize that beyond the built-in ROI or return on investment of having a VA, there's an actual direct ROI if you set things up correctly with your virtual assistant. I also share: 💰 the “built-in” ROI of a virtual assistant 💰 what  perpetual revenue drivers are and how they directly affect the bottom line in your business 💰 how to leverage your team to add value to all of your existing offers 💰 how my VA increased the value of my signature program, Front Row CEO, exponentially

Can you leave for vacation knowing that your business is fine without you? Well, yes! I just finished a one-month European tour and it was amazing - it was a true vacation! Meaning, I left my laptop at home. I was able to do this because my team kept the business running without me. If you are ready to ditch the laptop and hit the highway, but are unsure what you should expect from your virtual assistant or from your team, this episode is for you! I also share: Why I don’t recommend the "laptop lifestyle". Why you don’t have to worry about traveling for a month or so How your VA should protect your time while you’re on vacation Why your VA should handle your inbox The magnificent "catch-up" list
