About this ebook

If you're like the average business person, your workload is overwhelming you. There are only twenty-four hours in a day, but you keep losing time to email, billing, scheduling, transcription, and more administrative details than you can manage. You're drowning. And you're wasting your time. Why spend hours on tasks outside your strengths?
If you want to be less stressed and more productive, you need help, and The Virtual Assistant Solution shows you how to skip the hassle of recruiting, hiring, and training a traditional assistant and get the flexible, customized help you need today. Whether you're an author, coach, consultant, corporate executive, creative, doctor, entrepreneur, nonprofit leader, lawyer, pastor, or professor, a virtual assistant can finally give you the relief you're looking for and give you the freedom to focus on only what you can do.
The Virtual Assistant Solution reveals:
why a virtual assistant is the most important step in taking your business to the next level;
answers to the most common questions and objections about using a virtual assistant;
an easy tool for quickly identifying the tasks you need to offload now;
essential apps and services to maximize your virtual assistant relationship.
We could all use more margin. But you’re wasting your time and talents if you’re spending them on low-payoff activities. Hiring a virtual assistant will help you offload the work that's holding you back and invest your energy in what you do best.

The Virtual Assistant Solution - Michael Hyatt

Foreword

By Bryan Miles, Founder of BELAY

As the CEO and cofounder of BELAY, not much shocks me when I look behind the scenes of a high-capacity leader. The good, the bad, the ugly—I’ve pretty much seen it all. Most often when leaders work as hard as they possibly can and still don’t produce the expected results, one of two personas emerge.

Two Personas—Which Are You?

The first persona is the narcissistic Me Monster. That’s the person who truly believes life is all about them and their endeavors. These types of leaders achieve a lot but usually at the expense of others, who are left strewn behind them. They typically deal with high turnover and hurt feelings—but that’s business as usual for the dreaded Me Monster, just part of getting stuff done.

BELAY has worked with plenty of Me Monsters and tamed them so that we serve them well. Coaching a Me Monster is a goat rodeo, but it’s worth it because these leaders are changing the world.

The second persona is a humble leader who is just flat out of breath but willing to get the kind of help necessary to creatively achieve more than they could on their own. They know they can achieve more if they are free to focus on what only they can do and leave the rest to someone else. These leaders are very driven and wish to get ahead and produce results, but they are humble and their humility attracts people who naturally want to work hard for them.

Enter Michael Hyatt.

You guessed it! Persona number 2!

Michael is one of the nation’s top bloggers, a nationally known speaker, a New York Times bestselling author, and the former chairman and CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers. Bottom line, this guy is a leader of leaders.

Michael is not only a person I am lucky enough to call a friend, but over the past two years I’ve had a front-row seat (and a back-stage pass) to how he gets things done. He’s a critical thinker and a constant student of systems and processes. Best of all, he cares for his team. People love to work with him.

Regardless of the type of persona you feel you are, you are probably reading this ebook because you need help growing your business, and you are likely willing to make a change to bring on a new team member in an administrative capacity.

What You’ll Learn

This ebook is pure gold to an industry that is still in its infancy. It represents a proven perspective from a person who decided to fully embrace the idea of working with a virtual assistant. You will see how Michael:

realized all that a virtual assistant could do for him—at less cost than a traditional assistant;

navigated his questions and concerns about using a virtual assistant;

worked through the initial first ninety days with his virtual assistant;

maximizes his productive output with his virtual assistant, using tools and apps that you can employ immediately.

I have closely worked with a virtual assistant for close to a decade now. I’m still learning, and working with Michael has taught me some new ideas and perspectives.

With my wife Shannon, who cofounded BELAY with me, I am blessed to help serve leaders all over the world with a daily, real, meaningful, tech-savvy service. When we serve leaders well, they are empowered to produce the result they were called to produce (e.g. pastors, CEOs, executive directors, business owners, midlevel managers, authors, consultants, TV personalities, franchise operators, doctors, attorneys, speakers, and more), which makes the world a better place.

Three years ago, we started BELAY to serve others. As the CEO of this great company, I believe we
