Learn how to get additional staff – for free!

Last summer, I was at a crossroads in my business.
Frankly, I was overwhelmed. I had just fired another VA who couldn’t handle the assignments I gave her. My accounts were a mess. I was behind on projects. This was become a lot more work than a ‘regular’ 9 to 5 job.
My family life was suffering. I was gaining a weight, just as I was getting it down. I wasn’t making the money I should have been. I even considered going back to the ‘real’ corporate PR world. I was drowning.
But a friend of mine threw me a life saver. Melanie Benson Strick of Success Connections took me under her wing to teach me the same secrets that changed her from being overworked and overwhelmed to a seven-figure income entrepreneur coach.
What’s her secret weapon? Building a team.
I know, I know. You’re thinking you can’t afford to hire staff. I said so, too. With the lessons she taught me, not only did I realize I could afford it, but I actually get more than a dozen interns every year that work for me for free. That’s right. I get free help!
I’ve invited Melanie to share her secrets on building a virtual team on February 5 at 8:00 PM EST (5:00 PM PST). This is a completely free teleseminar, which I set up just for you – even the phone call is free. To register, please send an email to teleseminar at cherrycommunications dot com.
On this exclusive call with Melanie, you will learn:
- What the three easy to follow steps are to free up your time and get more money in your bank account
- The million dollar question you MUST ask yourself to find out if you are ready to build a team
- The common roadblocks to building a team and simple solutions to overcome those roadblocks to fast-track your team success
Yes, I will be recording the call, but it will only be sent to those who have registered. Lock in your spot now with a quick email to teleseminar@cherrycommunications.com.
Are you seeing a big difference in the results from the interns vs. previous virtual assistants? I know James Brausch and Tim Ferris both preach the idea of interns/outsourcing but you don’t hear many women discussing the issue.
I was on the call. A real eye-opener! Melanie’s right, why does one HAVE to do some tasks that make you lose focus or that are energy draining?
Interns can definitely be a tremendous business booster. If you want to see someone who has an incredible intern program look at James Brausch. He has it set up so that he doesn’t need to do anything. It runs on autopilot. He has systemitized every task and created simple directions and videos.
In fact he feels it is so easy to follow the training he does not allow interns to ask him any questions. I don’t know how many he has, but I will bet he has hundreds working for him throughout the year. All at no cost.
If you are interested you can see some of what he does at his blog. He has some posts about his intern program.

My ultimate goal is to set up a business just the way he has.
