Today I had to call off from my W2. I was just not feeling well. I was coughing, muscle aches, chills, and headache.

If I was running my real estate business by myself I would have to had an unproductive day for my business as well. However, since I have implemented procedures and hired/managed a team the calls were made, text/emails answered, and CRM updated.

This is why I am a big fan of the motto "working on your business instead of in your business". I could be on vacation or sick and the business does not stop running.

My goal is to hire more people as I get bigger. I want to keep on pushing myself to outsource more my tasks as I grow.  The finish line is when the business can run without me completely.

I'm a huge proponent of using Virtual Assistants, building your team, and having systems and processes in place for exactly this reason! It's incredible being able to remove yourself with no worries if the business will continue running. K

I always say "do what you do best, and outsource the rest." 

Awesome job!

I am currently looking for a few virtual assistants to add to my team. Any good websites you would recommend besides Upwork(that’s the one I use now)? I would really appreciate it.
