We discuss the future of work in an age of virtual assistants, the best places to find trained VAs, and how to build your own VA team. --- Build a VA-Run Company with Joe Rare Our Joe Rare, owner and CEO of Level9 Virtual, a business that gives business owners the freedom of time and money through outsourcing. Joe, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. I'm very excited to have you. You are offering a service and are an expert in a topic that I think is trending right now, which is outsourcing to virtual assistants overseas and how it allows people to scale their business in a much more lower risk and economical way. So I'm very, very curious about that. But before we plunge in, I'd like to hear your story. How did you fall into this business, how did you find this business, and how did you become kind of an VA outsourcing entrepreneur, if I may call you that? I got into outsourcing through a lot of people, I think through Tim Ferriss' book, Four-Hour Workweek. I evaluated that and read it cover to cover multiple times, sat down and actually I built a business from that model. And I actually went page by page and actually built an e-commerce business directly from that specific business model. And part of that was I used virtual assistants to do fulfillment, to run ads for us, and basically everything on the back end. And so that was kind of my first taste into, oh, you can run a business that is run by virtual assistants. So I had, at that time, I think I ended up with five VAs that were actually servicing the business. I didn't have to work a whole lot. It didn't grow to be a huge business by any means, but it was a fun e-commerce business. They gave me a lot of time in my mid-20s to run around and travel and see some things. And then ever since then, I've continued to keep virtual assistants working for me, with me, in each thing that I was doing. And then I got into marketing because we were pretty good at marketing with the e-com business. And so we continued from there and we continued on and had success with the marketing side and the VAs were great at fulfillment and servicing that. And one day, one of my ops managers, she came and she said, you should actually build a VA company. And I said, well, I don't know if I wanna do that. And she said, we can run it. And so sure enough, I said, all right, let's go ahead and do it. And then we started servicing, basically, most of our marketing clients. We just serviced them and provided VAs for them. And that was really successful. Then we took on a few clients here and there. And then when I relaunched one of my agencies after it failed, I realized that I had a really, really good model and I could grow the VA company. And so that exploded and grew. So that's like the cliff's nose version. Okay, so this podcasts is all about frameworks, management blueprints. So what is the framework for establishing a VA run company? What does it look like? So for me, the way that I've been able to do it, and we've done this multiple times. So for me, I can say that this works. It's not luck. We start off first things first with a utility player. We call it a get shit done VA. And this is the person that's gonna take all of the monotonous tasks off your plate, checking your email, appointments, scheduling appointments, just admin work. Hey, we need to give access to somebody for this set of documents. We need this sent over to an attorney or whoever. Whatever those tedious tasks are that we all have, everybody has them if you're running a business. They're just stuff. Those can be done by a virtual assistant. 95% of it can always be done by a VA. So that's the first thing that we get off our plate because it creates mental clarity.

Joe Rare is a natural entrepreneur, who loves creating solutions to the problems businesses face. But, it took hijm more than 3 years to convince one of his closest friends to allow me to help with their marketing. Since then, he's founded many successful ventures and also created Level 9 Virtual, a virtual assistant firm that helps others get their businesses to the next level.

To this date, he owns four digital companies, a wedding venue, an association for event venues and invests in real estate. His first business was a door-to-door product sales company that grew from 2 to 40 employees in 19 months, then he sold it after 27 months. His passion for sales never dimmed, but he discovered what his life's work would be - building digital businesses. The road was never easy for him. The first digital agency he built and the succeeding ones didn't make it, but he was then able to successfully win the race of having multiple 7-figure a year businesses. How The Dots Joined Up For Joe Since then, his businesses have been generating a continuous and substantial flow of income and he focuses on helping small- to medium-sized businesses around the world, while working from the comfort of his home in Montana and enjoying the presence of his wife and two girls.

Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr. Joe Rare

Whether you love or hate it, marketing and selling your venue is imperative if you want to keep your business afloat! Without bookings, our venues are not long for this world. Maybe you're already killing it and have figured out exactly what you need to do so that you're selling out your calendar each year. But I'm willing to bet that most of us would be open to booking more if we could. Or at least booking couples sooner or at a higher rate. Today's guest is set to throw down some knowledge on all of this. Joe Rare going to talk about the online marketing efforts that keep his venue booked solid! I know lots of venue owners have some pretty strong thoughts in that area, so let's get to it!

The venue is a 27,000 square foot lodge with 27 guest rooms, and it only hosts all-inclusive weddings with a minimum one-night stay required. Joe is in charge of all things marketing and advertising there and is a wedding booking expert. Whether it's attracting new inquiries or converting them to bookings, Joe has developed a system for venues to leverage cutting-edge marketing and advertising efforts. He's had the benefit of being a natural born salesman coupled with his experience at a venue that does more than 100 multi-day weddings each year. When Joe stepped in to build their marketing system, the venue was stuck at 57 weddings a year. And in only 16 months he was able to get them over that 100-wedding mark, reduce their actual workload, and increase profits. BE A FRIEND: Leave an iTunes review here.
