Key Takeaways:

"In our businesses, if we're doing a $10 an hour task, that typically means we have $10 in our bank account. I started really peeling back the layers of my business and saw where all of my time was spent. That's when I started out offloading those types of tasks." - Bob Lachance

"I always say if you hire a bookkeeper to make cold calls, it's going to fail miserably. Make sure you know the makeup of the individual that you hire to bring on your team, whether it's a virtual assistant in the Philippines, whether it's someone in your own hometown that's going to be doing work for you." - Bob Lachance

"Do yourself a favor and use a virtual assistant to drive in business for you. But it's our job, your job, my job to lock up those deals and turn those into money." - Bob Lachance

"We actually help with that [clear communication]. We have a client service manager overseeing the VA and client relationships. So they help create a success map right up front." - Bob Lachance
