Your executive assistant can be a valuable asset in managing your workload and ensuring that you are able to focus on high-priority tasks. By leveraging their skills and expertise, you can increase your productivity and improve your overall performance. To optimize your relationship with your executive assistant, it is important to establish clear expectations and communicate regularly. Additionally, you should provide them with the resources and support they need to be successful in their role. Today's guest is Trivinia Barber, founder, and CEO at Priority VA. Priority VA serves overwhelmed, change-making Founders, CEOs, and Small Business Owners by sourcing the Executive Assistants they can trust to delegate, outsource, and eliminate the tasks they don't know how to do, don't want to do, or don't have time to do so they can create, lead, and disrupt! In this podcast, Trivinia will discuss how to optimize your relationship with your executive assistant. She also talks about time audit and building trust with your executive assistant.

In this episode of Million Dollar Mastermind podcast, Host Larry Weidel speaks with Trivinia Barber, Author and Founder & CEO of Priority VA. They discuss how Trivinia has succeeded in increasing her business worth and how a business could improve its financial standings. Trivinia also elaborates how having a great mindset influences the way one thinks of their business' worth. She discusses her journey to creating a high-paying company and the importance of self-belief in success.

You might be able to build a $50 million business without the help of an executive assistant, but the work and relief they can offer you just might be the best thing to ever happen to your business. Especially for an entrepreneur who has never had an EA, bringing on an assistant who knows what they can take from your plate is invaluable.   Trivinia Barber is a speaker, author, and leadership consultant who helps entrepreneurs in businesses of all sizes scale growth, sharpen leadership skills, and build teams they can trust.   She founded Priority VA and developed The Momentum Method™ so clients may achieve better synergy between their products, people, and processes for greater growth & efficiency.   At every stage of growth, leaders wonder how to maximize their team, get the best help, and work well with the people that they have recruited. If there are problems, there are only two possible reasons for it — either the people or the process.   Too often leaders hire an executive assistant that wants to become a leader or entrepreneur themselves. Leaders shouldn't be looking for a way to clone themselves, they should be looking for someone who has an entirely different value-add from their own.   Consistency, trust, commitment, and communication are the keys to finding the right person for the job. The right EA has to be a fit for the leader, and the reverse is true as well. If you like name-dropping or cursing, the sooner you get that quirk out there, the better.   Finding the right fit takes time, but as the success stories that Trivinia highlights show, having the right EA in your corner can make all the difference as you are scaling up.   Interview Links: Momentum Headquarters Priority VA   Resources: 20,000 Scaleups Scaling Up Summits (Select Bill Gallagher as your coach during registration for a discount.)

When you have a team… mistakes are a part of the game.  No matter how catchy that sounds, or how easily I say that to you… it doesn't change how mistakes make you feel.

In today's episode, I want to debunk the myth that you have to be worthy of an Executive Assistant.

Everyone has been affected by grief at some point in life. You may have experienced a devastating loss of a friend or family member or felt America's collective grief during the pandemic, a contentious election, and news of war. In grief, we are saddled between two worlds. One in which we feel devastating loss. In the other, we show up for work, go on vacation, watch funny movies and give ourselves permission to feel joy and laughter. Here to help us navigate these two worlds is my friend Dr. Sherry Walling. Sherry is a clinical psychologist, speaker, podcaster, author, and mental health advocate. Her company, ZenFounder, helps entrepreneurs and leaders navigate transition, rapid growth, loss and conflict. In today's episode, we discuss: Sherry's second book, Touching Two Worlds, explores new strategies for finding wholeness in the aftermath of loss.  Why leaders may have a hard time addressing mental health topics with their teams How Sherry personally experienced grief and loss (and its effect on her career) Why the Great Resignation was a wake-up call for employers Comparative suffering, compartmentalization, and what it means for us to “touch two worlds” Here are other resources I mention:  Order Touching Two Worlds today!

It has been almost two years since I started this podcast. I seriously cannot believe that we're already in our 100th episode! First of all, I am grateful for each of you that has come alongside me on this journey.  In today's episode, I want to reflect back on what it's been like recording the Diary Of A Doer every single week. I'm going to talk about the lessons I've learned, the challenges I've faced, and what I'm looking forward to in the future with you.  To be honest, I don't know exactly what the Trivinia brand is yet. I don’t have it all figured out, and that’s okay. But one thing I know for sure is that I could have never gotten to this place without the consistency of recording.  And it blows my mind to think that I have sat at this desk and recorded the Diary Of A Doer every week for almost two years. This is unlike anything I have done in my life or business. Now, I'm looking back at 100 episodes with a renewed feeling that my voice matters – and your voice matters, too!

On this week’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer Podcast, we speak with Trivinia Barber, founder and CEO of Priority VA, a virtual company that helps match busy business owners, including attorneys, with highly skilled and experienced executive assistants. “Just because you can do it all doesn't mean you should. With companies like ours, when you can hire someone for fractional assistance, not just an assistant who's going to be there for 40 hours a week, but be there for you at key times, you're able to really outsource the things that you need to do, but without the burden of having to fill time for someone 40 hours a week,” says Trivinia.

Whether you work with a team, or have a team work for you, it's essential to know how to work together effectively. Podcasts take a village, but it can quickly become a “too many cooks in the kitchen” scenario if communication and organization isn't a priority. Welcome to Should I Start A Podcast  where each week Ronsley Vaz, with the help of a star-studded entrepreneurial guest lineup, explores why you should start a podcast; build an audience, and how to keep them hungry for more. If you're thinking about starting a podcast or simply looking for a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you. This week, Ronsley talks with the incomparable Trivinia Barber, host of the insightful podcast Diary of a Doer and founder of Priority VA. Trivinia has always been a “doer”, she doesn't know any other way. But she didn't necessarily think she was capable of owning her business, she just thought she was destined to run one.  Over the years of working up the corporate ladder, Trivinia realized she was constantly overworking herself. Sure, she was amazing at organizing and getting stuff done, but she was wearing herself thin. It wasn't until she started delegating work to team members that she realized this was the key to having it all- letting go of the reins and allowing others use their skills to give her own a rest, so she could focus on what she really wanted to in life.  Ronsley picks Trivinia's brain about the importance of her team when it comes to producing her podcast. They chat about the impact a good writer can have on creating engaging content for her show, and the process they have together that works for them. They discuss the kind of environment that allows all team members to thrive and how to incorporate in your own business and podcast. Other valuable tidbits in this episode: Trivinia's obsession with organization and prepping Why being reliable equates to trust The content extraction process between Trivinia and her writer Why she considers herself an “accidental entrepreneur” Why she gives herself bossy messages on her calender The hilarious story of acquiring Trivinia.com How she's able to do things she's scared to do with her husband Chris's support The importance of guard rails Links: Trivinia on LinkedIn Priority VA Trivinia.com Airtable

Trivinia Barber (CEO of Priority VA, and former assistant to Michael Hyatt and Amy Porterfield) shares advice on working remotely, running a company of VAs, and much more. Trivinia and I talk about the dehumanizing interactions assistants can have, building a culture with virtual team members, how to say no in a kind and professional way, how to find clients, what her company looks for in assistants, and whether or not VAs should specialize or be generalists.

In this episode, we talked about speaking on stage, VA hiring, marketing, how to ask yourself those tough questions you need to be asking right now, how to stand out in Facebook groups, why niching down is so important and how it will save you money. Bonus, learn how Trivinia grew a 7 figure business while working a full-time job. -------- What's the best career advice you have ever received? “You’ll never fully embrace being a CEO as long as you’re acting like an employee for someone else.” - Todd Herman What is your proudest career accomplishment and why? Growing a business to 7 figures while still working nearly full time. It took tenacity, grit and a lot of perseverance to deliver high quality for my clients, and create a business that I loved. What has been the hardest career moment and how did you overcome it? Hands down the worst day in business and one of my biggest learning lessons came when I lost one of our biggest clients because he lost funds. I had to tell 13 VAs that they no longer had a job. This several years ago and I was so excited because this client was a good portion of our bottom line. It forced me to innovate and find new solutions and products to offer so I could continue to provide job opportunities to these women I’d come to admire. My team and I quickly came up with products to sell that we could delegate to the VAs who just had a blow to their income.

“If you don’t have an executive assistant, you are one.” When Trivinia Barber, founder of Priority VA, told me this I knew she was right. What I needed was a team I could trust (duh) but I didn’t know how to build one, especially a virtual team. In this episode, I asked Trivinia to share the same frameworks she walked me through including the Four Buckets: What you don’t know how to do What you don’t have time to do What you hate to do What only YOU can do She also shared with me the 3 Types Of Executive Assistants: the Stabilizer, the Promoter, and the Closer.

  Laura and Trivinia share a conversation about how it is when you feel like you don’t fit in someplace and what the implications and consequences of that feeling are. Laura shares a story of taking a job because she really wanted to work with a particulate HR Director and how she knew on the first day it was the wrong fit; she spent nine months feeling as if she was wearing someone else’s clothes every day, which were “the wrong size and wrong style.”    Trivinia relates and shares some of her own experiences of wanting to fit in, not feeling as if she did, and trying to not shine a spotlight on herself to stand out and feel even more inappropriate. Like most of us, she longed to feel “chosen, accepted, welcomed…” and instead often felt rejected.    Her solution, for much of her life, has been to “eat her feelings…” She says she’s been gaining and losing the same 70 pounds for many years! Elaborating on her personal experiences, it may be thinking one’s eyebrows are too thin (as she does), which extends to her concluding she is “not enough” in the ways that seems to matter to others in our society. The truth is: We all struggle with this kind of deficit-thinking, even men.    But this mindset is of our own creation, because nothing that grows naturally (except people) compares itself with any other living thing around it – not plants, not animals, not insects… They all grow to their fullest expression and expansion, boldly and without apology. But as humans, we obsess over perceived flaws and shortcomings and allow those thoughts to keep us small and sometimes in hiding.    The conversation shifts to rethinking traditional work practices, diving deep into self-awareness, understanding what each individual has to offer, and working to find complementary partnerships with others, so we can do more together.    Both Trivinia and Laura have a depth of knowledge into a variety of self-awareness assessments including Myers-Briggs, StrengthsFinder, Enneagram, and Kolbe, and the two discuss how they are invaluable in their fields of expertise.    Trivinia has spent the last several years building Priority VA, identifying, training, and providing expert-level virtual assistants for a broad list of entrepreneurs around the US. Originally, thinking it would allow more time for family and to provide extra support to one of her daughters, she realized she had created just the opposite! Her business had become nearly all-consuming, and because she runs it out of her home, there’s no getting away from it!    Her wake-up call was when she asked one of her daughters if she’d like to earn some extra money working in the business, and her daughter’s response was “no” because she saw it taking too much from her mom’s time and energy already!    That’s when Trivinia and husband/business partner, Chris, decided to stop chasing significance and status and focus on “slow.” Admittedly, there’s an impact on the business and revenue, but they are able to enjoy their family and what they consider a higher quality of life as a result. She goes on to offer a couple of tips on how others might make a similar shift.    Her final message and recommendation is a powerful one. Listen in on Laura and Trivinia’s conversation and let us know how your perspective on work and life are affected.     The learn more about Trivinia and her work, look here:    Trivinia’s Web Site Priority VA – Virtual Assistants   Resources Discussed:  StrengthsFinder Laura’s Strengths Coaching - Individuals Laura’s Strengths Coaching – Teams/Organizations Enneagram Book Alter Ego Effect Book     Trivinia Barber Bio Trivinia Barber is a real-world business development pro who helps entrepreneurs scale their business, sharpen their leadership, and build great teams.    In 2012, she founded Priority VA, one of the world’s leading virtual staffing agencies, because most businesses operate at the expense of the owner’s sanity.    The answer?

Hey my friends! Hayley Hobson here and welcome to the Whole You where we embrace consciously watching your thoughts, your dreams, so you can live your life your way. My guest today is someone who I credit with helping me more in my business this year than pretty much anyone else. I hired her in the late summer to coach me through a season of major change as I worked to set a foundation for my business that would allow me to grow quickly and strategically in the new year. Funny thing is, she kind of told me no at first! She didn’t think that we were a good fit for each other. But I really wanted to do this right, and I knew she could help me. So I asked her again. And again. Until she agreed to take me on. And I won’t speak for her, although I will ask her later, but for me it has been such a blessing to have her eyes and her mind in my business for these past 6 months. I’m really thrilled to have Trivinia Barber on the show today. Trivinia is the founder of Priority VA – a boutique virtual assistant agency that matches elite level online entrepreneurs like Amy Porterfield and Todd Herman with highly-skilled assistants who “get” the online space and come prepared to deliver massive ROI right out of the gate. Her expert insights on outsourcing, recruitment, and task management have been featured on some of the biggest entrepreneurial stages including Todd Herman’s 90 Day Year Live and Amy Porterfield’s B-School Experience.

Adoption isn’t as glamorous as many celebrities make out out to be. Brad and Angelina made it seem so easy!   The ugly truth is, there’s crying for hours on end, trauma, therapy, and the list of needs goes on and on. One year after fostering a child that felt all-consuming to me, I thought I was going to crack.   There’s something in the adoption and foster care world called respite. It’s an opportunity to provide foster parents a much needed break. Rather than taking advantage of respite care, I took a different approach. The more drained I felt, the harder I pressed in. Later nights and earlier morning led to a crankier Trivinia.   For me, respite seemed like a bad idea. I didn’t need this child I’d been working so diligently with to struggle with new care providers or bonding with strangers. It just didn’t feel right. As parents, we try to do what’s right by our kids and sometimes, we choose wrong. I resisted… until I’d had enough. The reality is, avoiding respite was the bad idea.   In so many ways, this story of respite was the catalyst for the business I built in Priority VA.   Are you there in your business? At one point in Priority VA, I needed respite not from parenting but trying to do everything in my business alone. Ironic, huh?!   In this episode, you’ll hear all about the time I sacrificed my emotional well-being, why you shouldn’t do your business alone (obviously, I like to learn the hard way!), what respite looks like in your business, how to structure your work day, and creating ways to build respite into your calendar (this will be your favorite part of the whole episode!).   Respite in business, as in parenting, is critical for your emotional well-being. Listen here to learn how you can build respite into your normal routine.   Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to my podcast? If the answer is no, I’d love for you to subscribe.

[2:00] How […]

I had really been looking forward to my interview with Trivinia Barber!  I had met her years ago when I attended one of Amy Porterfield's events and she was working as Amy's virtual assistant. Then after she launched Priority VA, we had gotten to know each other better at events and in coaching programs together!  First, let me tell you one of the things I love most about Trivinia, and why I think I always felt like we just "got each other."  Trivinia is one of the absolute most authentic, "what you see is what you get" people you will find.  She's real.  She's funny.  And she is responsible for a WHOLE BUNCH of VA's (and ensuring that their families have food on their table). One of my least favorite parts of being a business owner is the responsibility of staff.  When I was running the studios, August and December were always the slowest - and had the least income.  Imagine being responsible for 30 women and their families - ensuring that you bring in enough income to pay all the bills and that the team gets paid!  It's a lot of pressure sometimes - especially when you're first starting out! Trivinia is the founder of Priority VA - a boutique staffing firm that pairs virtual assistants with successful businesses.  She prides herself in being great at matching teams, and their company SPECIALIZES in providing ongoing training to their virtual assistants to ensure that they are staying up to date on the most current marketing and business strategies!  These are highly skilled assistants who become integral team members.

As creatives, we often think we have to do everything ourselves. But there’s usually too much to do without losing your sanity. I feel ya! I know I’d have so much trouble running Studio Sherpas without my own awesome VA. (Shout out to Tina!) What VAs give us is freedom, peace of mind, and the opportunity to slow down and remember what’s important to us. Trivinia Barber is the founder and CEO of the boutique virtual assistant agency, Priority VA. Her company matches entrepreneurs with highly-skilled assistants who help them make the space to run only the parts of their business that they want to. Today we talk about why hiring a VA is going to free up so much more room in your life and business. There are things that you might not know how to do, don’t want to do, or just don’t have time for that a VA can get off your plate. There are a lot of reasons why you might be hesitant to bring on an assistant. Trivinia shares her advice on how to work well with assistants so you don’t have to worry about having someone else doing the work you normally have done. A lot of this requires setting up repeatable systems. When it comes to managing your team, Trivinia always makes sure to encourage, equip, empower, and engage with them. That way they can get it done so you don’t have to. Have you hired a VA? How has it helped you? Let us know in the comments on the episode page!   In this episode How to identify your needs when it comes to delegating tasks to a VA Trivinia’s tips for using a VA so you’ll get the outcomes you need How to know when you’re ready to hire a VA What to look for in a potential VA you are thinking of hiring The tasks that you are likely doing yourself that would be much better done by a VA   Quotes “Delegation is like exercise. You have to flex that muscle. You’ll get better at it and it’s going to hurt initially because you’re going to do it wrong and you’re not going to give enough direction and somebody is going to mess up. But once you find it, magic is going to happen.” [21:38] “You’re ready for a virtual assistant when you realize that your time is better spent doing the highest leveraged activities in your business.” [33:03] “Be open to defining what success looks like instead of being like ‘go fly little birdie!’ and then being pissed off by what comes back. You have to set expectations.”[44:59] “What you’re building is bigger than you. But if you don’t take it back to the whole reason why you started this in the first place, you kind of lose sight of it and you only chase that status and significance and it just messes it all up.” [53:32]   Links Build A Better Video Business With Our Exclusive Studio Sherpa Community Get your inbox management gift here!

Do you dream of having an assistant to do the things you don't love to do? Wouldn't it be nice to have someone who could manage your calendar, do your email or maybe your social media? You can with a virtual assistant. My guest today is going to share how you can delegate more so you can do more of what you love.

Time - we all want more of it. If you’re listening to this, you’re likely a hard-working person, and sometimes you may feel burnt out or overwhelmed.   You don’t have to feel this way.   Why is it so difficult for us to ask for help when we need it? Sometimes we say it’s the money - we don’t have enough of it. Maybe we think we can do it better or faster than anyone, so we don’t want to hand a task over to someone else. Or maybe you’re like me, and felt guilty hiring someone to do something for you. Today we’re going to bust through these detrimental mindsets, and discover what we need to do to make the time we want in our lives.   My guest today is in the business of giving you your time back, and we talk about how she has worked through these very same issues and helped her clients to do so too.   Trivinia Barber is the founder of Priority VA - a boutique, virtual assistant agency. You’ll want to listen in if you’re curious about the mindset of an owner of a million dollar company grown over just a few short years.   You’ll also want to listen in if you feel that you don’t know if you can start your own business because you have too many responsibilities. No more excuses! My guest today started her business while raising and adopting 4 children with her husband.   And you’ll also want to hear her morning routine, which helped her lose a great amount of weight after she spent the last few years building her business and putting her health last. It’s pretty amazing.   She’s worked with the biggest names in the online business space including Amy Porterfield, Todd Herman, and John Lee Dumas.   Trivinia mentions some great resources in the interview that will help you make time, including a guide to get you thinking about what you can outsource in your business and personal life.

Today's episode is #100 (let's celebrate!)-- and I've got another hot topic I wanted to talk to you all about. This hot topic is focused on a big mistake I see a lot (especially in the first two years of business!) but I rarely talk about. Until now. It begins with deciding on which path you should take for your business: Horizontal OR Vertical?  Which is best for your business right now? How do you know if you are on the right path? And which path did I choose from own my business (to see crazy good results)?  You can see the answers to these questions and more in my latest podcast episode here. 100th Podcast Episode Giveaway Not only are we talking about such an important topic on today's episode, but I've also got something incredibly exciting to share with you! I often get asked if I do one-on-one coaching and while I don't have the bandwidth to add coaching to my business currently, in honor of my 100th episode I wanted to create something extra special. That's why I'm giving one person the opportunity to get laser coaching from me in person, right here in San Diego, California. If you are the winner, you get to come out to San Diego for the day where I will put you up at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa right near my home. (You're going to love it--it's gorgeous.) Bright and early in the morning, we will meet in person and spend the day taking a deep dive into your entire business. We'll look at everything: your avatar, your messaging, your positioning, your products, programs, offers, list-building funnel, all of it. I will give you my insights, my feedback, and advice to help you take your business to the next level whether it be horizontal or vertical. After we're done and our brains are good and fried, we'll go out to a fun dinner together and celebrate our accomplishments. Sound good? How to Enter The 100th Episode Contest Make a short video (under 3 minutes) in which you tell me... What you do Why you would be a good candidate for a deep dive with me What you hope to get out of spending a day with me here in San Diego. Post your video on YouTube and enter the following in the description: www.amyporterfield.com Amy Porterfield’s Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast Contest Post the link to your video in the comments on the blog below. If you want to take it one step further, share your video on social media with the link to our contest page (www.amyporterfield.com/100th_episode) and the hashtag #AmysCoachingGiveaway  (Sharing your video on social media isn't 100% necessary. I know some of you might feel like you don't want to put yourself out there that much just yet. But I would really appreciate it if you did!) Okay, those are the ground rules. If you want some real insight into how to make your entry as compelling and convincing as possible, keep reading... Who Should Enter This Contest My offer of coaching is good for someone with an established business that wants to up-level, but it’s also good for someone that’s just starting out. As long as you’ve been in business for at least a year, you know what you want to offer, you’ve started to build out your foundation such as creating consistent content or you’ve got a blog or podcast, then you too are a good candidate for this contest. You don’t need to be well established in your business for me to choose you for this special opportunity. Now here are some pointers for creating your entry:  In the video you make, I want you to not just tell me about yourself, but really show me what you're about. Get as creative and expressive as you feel comfortable. This isn't a "technology" contest--I'm not going to pick somebody just because they used a lot of fancy video effects--but if video production is your jam, then go for it! Do whatever helps you express yourself the most. My team and I will select one winner based on your initiative, your willingness to put yourself out there, your enthusiasm, and your ability to communicate clearly what you do and what you want to get out of this time together. You have until Sunday March 6, to post your video. All video entries must be posted in the comments of these show notes by Sunday, March 6, at 11:59 p.m. PST. We will announce the winner on Monday, March 13, by putting it into the show notes here and, of course, contacting the winner. Aaaand I will probably be talking about it all around social media, because I'll be way too excited to keep it inside! Don't Be Shy! I know it’s a big step to put yourself out there with this whole video entry thing. But I really want to encourage you to do so! This opportunity to meet with me and put a laser focus on you and your business could be business-changing and life-changing! I promise I will make it worth your time. I'd also like to take a minute to thank you immensely for following me on my journey of creating this podcast. It truly is one of the most favorite things I do inside my business. It has probably made the biggest impact in my ability to reach bigger audience and connect with you and grow my business overall. Thank you so very much for letting me do what I love. I cannot wait to continue this podcast with more and more episodes about building your business and list building and webinars and all the cool stuff I get to talk about. Here's to the next 100 episodes! And I cannot wait to see what you create in your own business...starting with your videos! CONTEST WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT: Whoa! We were blown away by all the AMAZING entries. After spending all week reviewing each submission, we are so excited to announce that the winner of the all expense paid trip to San Diego for a one day Deep Dive with me is: Christina Tondevold Christina, I cannot wait to connect with you in person to map out a plan to knock your business out of the park and get you home more with your sweet children. Please email Trivinia@amyporterfield.com to work out final details for your trip, which will happen later on this year. But, there’s more… With hundreds of submissions, I knew it would be hard to narrow this down. I’d love to spend a day with each of you! While we were able to come away with a clear winner, I did have a list of entrants that I wanted to offer something special to. So… if these folks would reach out to trivinia@amyporterfield.com, we have a super fun idea that we’d like to run by you. Michelle Evans Craig Sylvester Annette Stephanian Sara King Heather Ryan Daniel Fava I want you ALL to hear this . . . I KNOW it was not easy to make a video and put yourself out there like that.
