Should You Hire a Virtual Assistant? 3 Key Questions to Ask First

j29.11 Coaching

In this episode of the J29.11 Podcast, I’m diving into the world of virtual assistants — and helping you figure out if hiring one is the right move for your business.

Over the years, I’ve worked with assistants in all kinds of setups: side-by-side in the same room, across town, and completely virtual. Each has its pros and cons, and your decision comes down to more than just saving a few dollars.

I’ll walk you through three important questions you need to ask yourself before bringing on a VA:

1. Are you doing it only to cut costs — and what does that say about your hiring approach?
2. How will you collaborate effectively across time zones, schedules, and meeting styles?
3. Are the tasks you need done truly possible in a virtual environment?

I’ll share my own experiences — the good, the challenging, and the unexpected benefits — so you can make an informed choice for your business. Whether you’re leaning toward a local hire, a remote teammate, or an overseas VA, this episode will give you a clearer picture of what will work best for your workflow, your budget, and your values.
