This episode brings Alisha Harris, founder of Original Account Strategies (OAS), and a current client of Bonnie’s VA agency, TRS, into the hot seat. Bonnie and Alisha dive into the winding road that took Alisha from Disney costume design and AmeriCorps to running a Denver-based design agency. They get real about:

• Why delegation feels like a roller coaster (and why Bonnie’s sworn off the literal ones)
• The emotional weight of letting go of your “business baby” to invest in branding and web design
• Cross-delegation at home (Alisha handing vacation planning to her husband, Bonnie handing tech to Scott)
• The hard truth about outsourcing: giving up control vs. spending the money
• How OAS differentiates itself in a crowded design market (hint: it’s about joy, trust, and breakfast burritos)
• Alisha’s two golden rules: use what you learn and be a joyful giver or don’t give at all

What do bookkeepers, boundaries, and a 130-pound rottweiler have in common?
They’ve all played a role in how Tonisha Stalnaker, CEO of SVS and self-proclaimed “Chaos Coordinator,” built a thriving global business.

In this episode of Delegate2Elevate: Get Sh!t Done, Tonisha shares her journey from healthcare IT recruiting to leading a worldwide team of systems and tech pros. She opens up about:

• The bookkeeper who taught her a hard lesson on contracts (hint: don’t raise fees 600% by email).
• Why setting clear boundaries with clients and teams protects everyone.
• Her “five-hour rule” for easing into delegation without fear or overwhelm.
• How she built a team across time zones without losing her sanity.
• Why dogs sometimes make the best business co-stars. 🐾

If you’ve been hesitant to delegate or don’t know where to start, Tonisha’s story will give you the practical tips and confidence to try again.
