Episode Synopsis

Are you overwhelmed, overextended, and still thinking "Eh, I'll just do it myself—it's faster"? Yes? Well the right answer should be NO.  That's entrepreneur delusion talking. I know I am one and I'm not the best dekgator and yes I too try and do far too many things myself. On The Debbie Nigro Show, I linked up with the fabulous Jenna Eichholtz, partner at VA Growth Solutions, who popped in from Pennsylvania to drop some serious wisdom about delegating like a boss—without actually becoming a bossy boss. Here's the big takeaway: You don't need a full team… you just need one really good virtual assistant. Jenna's company connects business owners with vetted, highly skilled VAs from the Philippines — fluent in English, aligned with U.S. time zones, and trained to slide right into your workflow. And get this: Full-time VA support starts at $1,000–$1,200/month (40 hours/week!) Starter options as low as $500/month — that's literally $3–$7 an hour Over 8,310 VAs hired and 3,900 businesses served Client satisfaction score: 9.5 out of 10 Not too shabby. Why Entrepreneurs Are Finally Giving In & Hiring VAs Jenna and I hit on the pain points we ALL know too well: ·              Social media burnout ·              Inconsistent marketing ·              No SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) because everything lives in your head ·              Too many tasks, not enough hours, and zero desire to manage a  giant team Her message was loud and clear: Stop trying to be a one-person empire. Buy back your time. Cool Bonus: Jenna's Also a Pet Industry Pro Before joining VA Growth Solutions, Jenna ran her own branding agency for pet companies — so if you're in the pet biz, she's double dangerous. She knows exactly how to help you grow and who to delegate it to. Final Thought: Freedom is the Reason We Started… So Why Are We Working More and Living Less? If you're a solopreneur, husband-and-wife team, or small-but-mighty business… this may be your sign. Listen to the full podcast episode with Jenna Eichholtz from VA Growth Solutions on The Debbie Nigro Show — and prepare to loosen your grip on doing it all yourself.
