Jay Baer founded his second company, Convince & Convert, out of his bedroom. He knew he needed some assistance running operations, but given his office setup, he preferred to keep it virtual.


A Twitter job posting led Jay to connect with Jess Tyson, and the rest is history. They sit down today to discuss their shared journey into the world of virtual assisting, and how having help frees Jay up to focus on what he's uniquely qualified to do.


Key Takeaways

Delegation is hard, especially if you’re used to working alone. You need to make a conscious plan to relinquish more and more control over time.
There’s a difference between working in your business and working on it. Hiring a VA allows you to focus on the high-level things, like growth and strategy, that you are uniquely qualified to do.
What you choose to delegate is up to you. Jay maintains control of his calendaring, which might be the first thing you would want to hand off! It’s up to you to decide how and when to delegate.
