Episode 798 | Tuesday, March 24th, 2026 @ 6:00pm | The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show
Feeling stretched thin in your business? You’re not alone.
In this episode of The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show, we’re diving into a conversation that every entrepreneur needs to hear—how to hire a virtual assistant the right way so you can reclaim your time, reduce burnout, and actually grow your business.
Sharvette is joined by HR executive and virtual assistant hiring expert Sierra Morgan, founder of Rose HR, who breaks down exactly how to build your team without the stress, confusion, or costly mistakes.
And listen—if you’ve ever said, “I just need more time in my day,” this episode is your answer.
🔑 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- How to know when it’s time to hire a virtual assistant
- The biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when hiring help
- A simple, step-by-step hiring process for your first VA
- How virtual assistants can support both business and personal life
💡 Key Takeaways
1. Burnout is your first signal
If you’re overwhelmed, stuck, or your creativity is gone—it’s time to get support. Trying to do everything yourself turns your business into a job.
2. You’re not “too small” to hire
Even solo entrepreneurs can—and should—leverage virtual assistants to grow sustainably.
3. Clarity is everything
A VA can’t read your mind. You need:
- Clear job descriptions
- Defined responsibilities
- 30/60/90 day expectations
4. Start small, then scale
Begin with simple tasks like:
- Email management
- Calendar scheduling
- Social media posting
Then build from there.
5. Communication drives success
Regular check-ins, clear feedback, and open dialogue create a strong working relationship—and better results.
Tasks You Can Delegate to a Virtual Assistant
Here’s where it gets exciting. You can offload more than you think:
- Inbox & calendar management
- Social media content & engagement
- Video editing & graphics
- Website updates & tech tools
- Project management
- Book or course support
- Customer service
- Personal tasks (appointments, travel, caregiving support)
👉 Translation: You get your time back to focus on visibility, sales, and growth.
