Replace Myself
I read the 4-Hour Work Week and commited to myself to get a virtual assistant. That was over a year ago.
I was always nervous to actually hire someone because I did not know how to actually implement this strategy. I knew how to me a manager, although not virtually to a person on the other side of the world.
Brad and I got joined a Mastermind group about 3 months ago with several successful marketers with brilliant ideas.
One of them shared with us that he had an employee that was working for him full time. Apparently there was another marketer that had cracked the code to be able to find good reliable help that was also affordable.
His name is John Jonas and he created a product around his experiences. Brad and I were hooked. We both immediately began to look into and actually purchased a membership to his site.
Brilliant!
This is what we needed. John Jonas delivered an awesome product that we were starving for. He gives away an audio that helped to completely reshape my previous perception to how to find someone and hire them full time. Oh and he pretty much kills the 4-Hour Work Week Theory. He promotes 17 hours. A little more realistic for me.
I now have an awesome employee that I can trust to implement the training I give her. She is dedicated and eager to do a good job. She has successfully implemented strategies that have helped me get several of my clients ranked on the top page of Google.
It was far from easy. I created some of my own training material and project management.
But that was my choice. I tend to be a control freak and wanted to put her through my own personal training program.
However replacemyself.com actually has a lot of this already prepared for you and project management software as part of this package.
I cannot recommend John Jonas and Replacemyself-now.com enough. Well, at least for those marketers that area ready to take the next step in their business. The results that my employee has produced have paid her salary and allowed me to be creative and breathe. Sigh.
The most beautiful thing is that she is beginning to put all the pieces together and develop strategies for my sites. I love it.
