概要

 In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm SO excited to launch a brand new format: the Team Talk Show! This is the live call-in show where founders, VAs, and our emotionally attached Slack threads all come together. As a founder who has built a multi-million dollar business with an incredible team and as a mentor to thousands of elite VAs, I've seen both sides of the table, and today, we're getting into the real and raw questions. I'm answering two juicy "call-in" questions that get straight to the heart of team dynamics. First, a tired founder asks, "I hired a VA to work less, but now I'm answering more questions than ever. Am I delegating wrong, or did I accidentally adopt an adult?" Then, a VA calls in with a classic case of scope creep: "My client keeps asking me what to do... I'm basically the COO without the pay. How do I bring this up without getting fired?" In this first-ever Team Talk Show, you'll learn: Why your new VA might feel like more work, and the two critical components to fix it: hiring for character and clearly defining "what done looks like." My proven strategy for vetting VAs with test projects before you even get on a call. The non-negotiable step every founder must take to empower their team: creating a Company Handbook. For VAs: The exact script to use when "scope creep" happens, allowing you to renegotiate your role and pay from a place of power. Why setting firm boundaries is the sexiest thing you can do as a VA and will earn you more respect from your clients, not less. This is a must-listen for both founders who want to build a truly supportive team and for VAs who are ready to step into their leadership. Plus, I'm sharing my big vision for where this "Team Talk Show" is headed (hint: think in-person studio!).
