Welcome back to the Step It Up Entrepreneur Podcast! I'm your host, Tomas Keenan! In today’s episode, I sit down with entrepreneur Joe Rare to discuss his journey of building successful, VA-driven businesses.
During the episode, Joe shares how his family’s relocation to Montana during the COVID-19 pandemic inspired a shift in both his personal life and entrepreneurial approach. Drawing inspiration from Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek, Joe has managed to scale multiple businesses using virtual assistants (VAs). He dives into the challenges many entrepreneurs face when it comes to delegation, particularly with personal tasks like email management, and provides practical tips on how to ease into outsourcing by starting small and building effective systems.
Together, Joe and Tomas explore the essential tools and strategies for managing remote teams, emphasizing the importance of communication, setting expectations, and establishing solid workflows. They discuss the power of using tools like Slack, ClickUp, and Asana to streamline business operations and how integrating VAs into your business can transform productivity, both in professional and personal life.
Joe also opens up about his company’s evolving mission—shifting focus from solely prioritizing clients to ensuring the well-being of VAs, creating a sustainable, impact-driven business model that benefits entire communities. Finally, Joe shares his entrepreneurial philosophy, encouraging aspiring business owners to embrace failure as part of the journey, test ideas quickly, and scale with intention—all while maintaining a work-life balance that puts family first.
