Hire a VA, Get Your Life Back: From 60-Hour Weeks to 10 | Alexia Hoffman

Alexia Hoffman had four daughters in 30 months, more than 80 rental doors, a coffee shop, and a real estate business she had built from the ground up—and she was trying to manage almost everything herself.At her peak, Alexia was working 60-hour weeks and had become the bottleneck in her own business. She didn’t need more ambition or another productivity hack. She needed systems, delegation, and the right support.In this episode of Unbreakable Mompreneurs, Charisse Walker talks with Alexia about how she created a repeatable framework for hiring and fully onboarding a virtual assistant in fewer than 10 hours. That process helped Alexia reduce her workweek to approximately 10–15 hours without sacrificing her income, clients, businesses, or control.Alexia shares the mistakes she made when hiring assistants without clear systems—and what entrepreneurs must establish before bringing on a VA. She explains how to audit your weekly responsibilities, identify tasks someone else can complete 80% as well as you, define measurable expectations, and use beginning-of-day and end-of-day reports to create accountability.But this conversation goes far beyond business systems.Alexia opens up about having twins followed quickly by two more daughters, experiencing postpartum depression after her fourth baby, rebuilding her identity outside of motherhood, and learning to prioritize her needs without feeling guilty. She and Charisse also discuss faith, intuition, changing seasons, and Alexia’s decision to follow God’s direction and move her family and businesses from Michigan to Cincinnati.In this episode, you’ll discover:• How Alexia reduced her workload from 60 hours a week to approximately 10–15• Why you should build systems before hiring a virtual assistant• The first step in Alexia’s VA Fast Track process• How to audit your week and decide what to delegate• Why assigning random tasks causes many VA relationships to fail• How to hire for the role you actually need• The importance of clear goals, processes, KPIs, and accountability• How beginning-of-day and end-of-day reports keep remote employees on track• Why another person only needs to perform a task 80% as well as you• How to stop being the bottleneck in your business• Why successful mompreneurs must protect their time and personal identity• How to choose goals that genuinely support the life you want• What it means to trust God when the next step doesn’t make logical sense• How systems create the freedom to pursue motherhood, health, faith, and meaningful experiencesABOUT ALEXIA HOFFMANAlexia Hoffman is a TEDx speaker, 2024 Entrepreneur of the Year, real estate investor, coach, and creator of the Delegation Clarity Framework.
