Today, we are thinking about supporting small business owners and entrepreneurs through virtual assistants with Steph Faria, the Owner of Faria Virtual Assistants Inc. Steph kicks off the conversation by sharing her journey and how she got into the world of virtual assistance. Despite being in the business for four years, she recalls the moment that started it all—an Instagram story that sparked the idea to
offer her services.
Steph provides invaluable advice for entrepreneurs who are thinking about hiring a virtual assistant (VA). She explains what to look for in a VA and suggests that if certain phrases keep popping up in your daily routine, it might be time to bring in some help. She also shares her own challenges of taking her own advice on time management while staying creative in her work.
A lover of travel, Steph reveals how grateful she is that this career allows her the flexibility to work and explore the world. However, she also opens up about her past struggles with finding a healthy balance between work and self-care, something she now prioritizes. She offers helpful advice for entrepreneurs
who are considering hiring a VA, including tips on how to make the onboarding process smoother.
For those wondering if they could benefit from a VA, Steph shares a comprehensive list of tasks that virtual assistants can take off your plate. She highlights the perks of working remotely and traveling, but also cautions listeners about the importance of cyber security in a remote work setup.
