If you’ve ever thought “I need help—but what kind?” this episode will clear the fog.

I sit down with Virtual Assistant veteran Rachael Davila (20+ years in the field) to unpack how to hire smarter, onboard better, and actually get your time (and sanity) back.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why hiring fails more often from mindset than skill — and how to move from solopreneur to teampreneur.
• The difference between onboarding and offloading (and why onboarding wins every time).
• A practical roadmap: break goals → projects → tasks and use Do / Delegate / Delete / Delay to decide who should do what — plus how to match tasks to the right kind of support (doer, collaborator, specialist, or personal assistant).

By the end of this convo, you’ll feel equipped to create a handoff list, choose the right VA type, and trust the process on your way to building a stronger busines. 🎧
