March 04, 2025 • Hosted by Paul Sweeney • Episode 161

Feeling overwhelmed with endless tasks in your business? You don’t have to do it all alone! In this episode of The Business Behind Your Business, we uncover how virtual assistants (VAs) can help you regain your time, reduce stress, and grow your business more efficiently. If you’ve ever felt stretched too thin or unsure about outsourcing, this conversation will help you understand the benefits of working with a VA and how to delegate effectively.

Host Paul Sweeney sits down with Mia Juan, founder of Next Level Assist, to discuss how virtual assistants can transform the way business owners work. They explore common misconceptions about hiring VAs, the wide range of tasks they can handle—from admin work to social media management and customer service—and why using a VA agency ensures you get trained, reliable support. Mia also shares expert insights on overcoming the fear of outsourcing, setting up a VA for success, and making the most of this cost-effective solution.

Tune in to learn how a virtual assistant could be the key to scaling your business while freeing up time for what matters most.
