When it comes to our books, we are often in a state of perpetual chaos. We have to juggle our time between writing, editing, and promoting our books. When we get too busy, we easily lose motivation and feel overwhelmed. It can be difficult to find the time and energy to write on a regular basis. And this is all just the book part of our business lives. We’re still running our business and living our life while trying to write, publish, and market our book. Hiring a virtual assistant can be a game changer for your productivity and success. A virtual assistant can help you manage your workload, save time, and make more money. Join this conversation with Lorna Bailey and learn the best practices when hiring a VA for your business and writing journey.

Lorna has been a virtual assistant since 2014 and has helped countless business owners and entrepreneurs grow and thrive in their businesses. She’s done it all. . . From ordering pizza to be delivered ASAP for some person in Canada (after they jokingly asked on Twitter), to getting an inbox from 16,000 emails to zero (and keeping it that way each day), to creating a content management system for a large blog that has thousands of visitors daily. Every day she is committed to helping small businesses find clarity and, more importantly, giving clients a sense of relief and trust that things are getting done and done well - freeing up their time to focus on what’s most important to them.
