In this episode, I dive into a question many therapists face: Should you hire an admin or a virtual assistant (VA) to help grow your practice? I outline the pros and cons of each option and share my updated recommendations. I also offer actionable strategies to systemize your practice and maximize growth while safeguarding against disruptions if key team members leave. This episode is packed with practical advice to help you decide and take the next steps.

Make sure to bring your paper and pen because this episode is full of actionable tips!
