Can hiring a virtual assistant transform your entrepreneurial journey?

In this episode of Bootstrap MD, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming sits with Lesley Pyle, as she discusses her 30-year evolution in remote work, starting from 1996 as a freelancing mom. Drawing from her experiences in PR, motherhood, and building virtual networks, she explores barriers entrepreneurs face—time constraints, trust issues, and hiring fears—and how platforms like hers connect businesses with talented remote professionals. Lesley offers practical ways to outsource tasks, create SOPs, and build efficient teams, fostering growth through delegation and work-life balance.

Top 3 Takeaways:

• Identify and Outsource Time -Draining Tasks: Track daily activities like email or scheduling, estimate hours spent (e.g., 10 hours/week), and hire a virtual assistant to handle these, freeing time for patient care or strategic growth.

• Leverage Trusted Platforms for Hiring: Use services like HireMyMom.com to find vetted professionals with skills in bookkeeping, social media, or project management; conduct interviews and trial periods to ensure alignment with your practice's needs.

• Prevent Burnout Through Delegation: Regularly assess where you're overextended, consult family or mentors for perspective, and outsource non-core tasks to maintain faith, family, and personal well-being alongside business success.
