Reflect:
If you don't know where you're going, you'll end up someplace else. - Yogi Berra
Delegation is one thing most business owners are having a hard time doing.
In wanting to be on your own, you end up being overwhelmed and in the process, find yourself doing things that are dragging you down and stopping you from growing your business.
How do you find the time and freedom you've always wanted in the first place and still find success in business?
In this episode, Amy Ransdell shares how you can leverage other people, specifically known as VAs (virtual Assistants), to do things for you to scale sooner and faster.
Many don't see the value of having other people do things you can do or do better than you.
Once you realize that, great things keep coming to your business.

Key Takeaways:
"All the advantages of the license. Not only do you have access to so many resources utilized through that license, but from a credibility perspective nowadays, to be able to present that to sellers, motivated sellers, especially, and to have that additional bucket of exit strategy that you can utilize." - Amy Ransdell
"With marketing, I think a powerful lesson for everyone that I take to heart is 'the progress over perfection'. That in marketing, it's not creativity that is what empowers you. It's consistency and clear intention, clear decision and clarity of destination." - Amy Ransdell
"Probably the biggest lesson as coaches, we have sometimes to step in, ask the tough questions and help people say no to things in order to say yes to themselves." - Amy Ransdell
"The only way to scale and the only way to have the freedom but still continue to grow your gross commission income or grow the revenue for your investing business, whatever that is, is you've got to use people to do things for you." - Amy Ransdell
"The earlier that you can adopt the mentality of outsourcing to someone to be able to scale and do more and be more efficient with your time, the earlier you're going to have greater results." - Amy Ransdell
"Go hire people to fill in for your weaknesses, and then let go and let them do it." - Amy Ransdell
"Don't just abdicate and walk away, do work with your virtual assistants, and do empower them to do their job for you." - Amy Ransdell
