You Need a Virtual Assistant with Belinda Sandor

Published on: 26th July, 2022

Just because you work for yourself, doesn’t mean you need to work by yourself.  Hiring a virtual assistant can be one of the best investments in your solopreneur business because you simply can’t do everything on your own as efficiently and profitably as you can with the right kind of help.  I can say without reservation that hiring a VA changed my business and I should have done it sooner.  

Today’s guest, Belinda Sandor,  is a business workflow and productivity expert with 25 years of experience, and the founder of RocketGirl Solutions. After years of being hired by small businesses on a contract basis to act as their part-time “business manager,” she turned her experience into founding The VA Connection, a professional online community with the goal of educating and connecting independent virtual assistants around the world.  

Belinda is also a sought-after speaker and has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Reader’s Digest, and other national and local media. Our conversation today is about how to partner with your VA so that they can accelerate your business growth and profit.

 A virtual assistant can be a tremendous asset in your business, but just having one isn’t going to solve every problem, especially if those challenges are related to your business mindset.  Mindset tends to be overlooked by many solopreneurs who don’t really understand why they are stuck at a certain level of business growth or income.  I created this quiz to help you figure out the underlying reason you feel stuck.

Taming Shiny Object Syndrome in Your Business

Taming Shiny Object Syndrome in Your Business

Our edge as entrepreneurs comes from spotting trends and launching fresh ideas. The problem? Most of us have a graveyard of half-baked projects, forgotten launches, half-written newsletters, and more orphaned tech tools than we care to admit. Let's face it: innovation is our ADHD advantage, but execution moves the...

About the Podcast

ADHD-ish
For Business Owners with Busy Brains
ADHD-ish is THE podcast for business owners who are driven and distracted, whether you have an “official” ADHD diagnosis or not. If you identify as an entrepreneur, small business owner, creative, independent professional, or freelancer, and you color outside the lines and think outside the box, this podcast is for you.

People with ADHD traits are far more likely to start a business because we love novelty and autonomy. But running a business can be lonely and exhausting. Having so many brilliant ideas means dozens of projects you’ve started and offers you’ve brainstormed, but few you’ve actually launched. Choosing what to say "yes" to and what to "catch and release" is even harder. This is exactly why I created ADHD-ish.

Each episode offers practical strategies, personal stories, and expert insights to help you harness your active mind and turn potential distractions into business success. From productivity tools to mindset shifts, you’ll learn how to do business your way by
embracing your neurodivergent edge and turning your passion and purpose into profit.

If we haven't met, I'm your host, Diann Wingert, a psychotherapist-turned-business coach and serial business owner, who struggled for years with cookie-cutter advice meant for “normies” and superficial ADHD hacks that didn’t go the distance. In ADHD-ish, I’m sharing the best of what I’ve learned from running my businesses and working with coaching clients who are like-minded and like-brained.

Note: ADHD-ish does have an explicit rating, not because of an abundance of “F-bombs” but because I embrace creative self-expression for my guests and myself. So, grab those headphones if you have littles around, and don’t forget to hit Follow/Subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode.
