Is it time to start delegating more in your business? Today’s episode is an interview with my virtual assistant, Sarah Starrs. She has an interesting journey that led her to reevaluating her priorities and values, which ultimately led to her setting up her business. We talk in-depth about our experiences of burn out, the impact it had on our lives, and the importance of doing less – and some practical ways you can make that a reality. If you’re looking to grow your business, learning to delegate is so important. Whether you’re interested in hiring a virtual assistant or want to become on yourself, Sarah has really valuable advice to share with you.
