    Sep 18 2025

    EVS Live Interview with Ruwan



    What do you do when you're running a busy hair studio, a thriving dance academy, AND raising three kids? If you're like most business owners, you'd feel overwhelmed – but Ruwan found another way.



    In this inspiring EVS Live, Francesca sits down with Ruwan, a passionate entrepreneur who shares how hiring a Virtual Assistant changed everything.

    • The real fears Ruwan had before hiring a VA – and how he overcame them

      • Why mindset and resilience are non-negotiable for business owners
      • How EVS helped him delegate without needing hours of training

      • What systems he uses to manage his VA while driving between businesses

      • The unexpected benefits of offloading tasks like social media and admin

      • Why he calls his VA a literal “lifesaver” 💡

      You’ll also hear about:

  • 221. Why You're Overpaying for Underperformance (And What to Do About It)
    Sep 11 2025

    Hiring a VA doesn’t guarantee growth. In fact, many business owners find themselves overpaying for underperformance – but not because VAs aren’t capable. It’s because the business lacks the structure, clarity, and mindset needed to make delegation actually work.



    In this episode, Francesca dives into:


    • Why hiring based on price (not value) is a huge mistake

    • The difference between micromanagement and leadership

    • How to stop treating your VA like a task-ticker and start empowering them as a business enabler

    • Why SOPs, feedback, and proper onboarding make or break your success

    • The three metrics that really matter: productivity, initiative, and business impact

    • The truth about matching VA personalities with business owners (and why cloning yourself is NOT the answer)

    She also unpacks the top myths around hours worked, checking up on VAs, and why most business owners unknowingly set their team up for failure – then blame them for it.
