Why Every VA I Hired Was a Disaster Until I Changed This One Thing

from Feral Queen · host Keely Stawicki

After growing 128% this year, I had to face the truth: I needed help. But my hiring journey has been... let's just say it's been a wild ride.From the VA who literally vanished after I paid her, to a funnel disaster that almost ended in court, to finally cracking the code on finding team members who actually care about results – I'm sharing it all in this episode.I used to think there were only two options: hire cheap beginners or pay premium prices. Turns out, I was completely wrong. There's a third way that most people miss, and it's all about asking the right questions during interviews.You'll discover the one question that immediately tells me if someone will go above and beyond (or just do the bare minimum), why I now refuse to hire certain age ranges, and the agency mistake that cost me $1,200 for mediocre work.Plus, I'm revealing the hiring strategy that just landed me an incredible media buyer and operations manager – and why this approach changes everything about building a team you can actually trust.If you're tired of doing everything yourself but scared of hiring the wrong people, this episode will show you exactly what to look for.Keely StawickiThe Queen Of Facebook Ads
