Lauren shares her journey from "accidental entrepreneur" to leading a service that helps small business owners elevate their operations by mastering the art of delegation. Discover how VaVa Virtual Assistants helps transform businesses by allowing owners to focus on growth rather than getting bogged down by day-to-day tasks.
