I didn’t set out to build a business powered by Elite Assistants. In fact, I stumbled into it.
Back then, I was working as a consultant helping entrepreneurs scale—teaching them how to structure their business for growth. But time after time, I kept hitting the same wall with every client: they had the vision, the ambition, and the strategies. But they didn’t have the bandwidth.
They were the bottleneck in their own business. They weren’t stuck because of a lack of skill or creativity. They were stuck because they were drowning in admin, glued to their inbox, bouncing between meetings, and doing everything except the work that actually grows a business.
And then came the turning point. I hired an Elite Assistant for myself. Not because I was scaling. Not because I had everything figured out. But because I was exhausted, and I had nothing to lose.
And that’s when everything changed.
Growth doesn’t start with action—it starts with space to think.
The wake-up call: I was the problem
Like many business owners, I told myself I was being “lean” by doing it all. I didn’t want to spend time onboarding someone. I didn’t want to pay someone to do things I could technically do myself. And I certainly didn’t want to let go of control. But here’s what I didn’t realize at the time: every hour I spent in my inbox, messing with Canva graphics, or updating spreadsheets was time I was stealing from my future.
I wasn’t saving money—I was stalling growth. The moment I handed off my first set of repeatable, admin-heavy tasks to an Elite Assistant, my mental bandwidth opened up. My time stopped leaking out of my calendar. My energy came back. And that energy became the fuel that exploded my business.
What is an Elite Assistant, really?
Let’s clear something up. This isn’t about hiring a freelancer off a job board or outsourcing to someone you have to micromanage.
At The Virtual Hub, an Elite Assistant is more than a remote support person—they’re the engine inside the business, keeping operations moving with structure, speed, and reliability.
Elite Assistants are:
- Recruited from the top 1% of applicants
- Trained through our proprietary, in-house academy
- Embedded into Performance Pods—teams that manage quality, goals, and coaching
- Tailored to match your systems, tools, and workflows
- Ready to plug in with minimal handholding
You’re not hiring a VA. You’re integrating a high-performance support layer into your business.
Delegation was the unlock I didn't know I needed
At first, I delegated the obvious stuff—calendar management, inbox sorting, social media scheduling. But it quickly became clear: my Elite Assistant was capable of far more than I realized.
They didn’t just do tasks. They started building systems, identifying inefficiencies, and proactively making my business smoother.
Before long, I handed over:
- Client onboarding sequences
- CRM updates
- Podcast production coordination
- Metrics dashboards
- Email marketing drafts
Suddenly, I wasn’t just reacting to my business—I was leading it.
Scaling through support, not stress
As I stepped back from the day-to-day grind, I saw my business differently. I saw gaps in the market. I saw opportunities to scale. I had the creative headspace to launch new offers, develop better products, and build stronger relationships.
And it wasn’t just me.
My clients—coaches, consultants, agency owners—were experiencing the same breakthroughs. The only thing they’d changed was adding an Elite Assistant to their team.
One client went from 50 to 200 students in their online course. Another freed up enough time to land a six-figure licensing deal. Another doubled their consulting revenue just by having space to pitch bigger clients.
This wasn’t a fluke. This was a formula.
But let’s talk honestly about the fear
Delegating doesn’t come naturally to most entrepreneurs.
The common fears are always the same:
- “No one can do it like I do.”
- “It’s faster if I just do it myself.”
- “What if they make mistakes?”
And here’s the truth: all of those are valid concerns—if you’re working with the wrong kind of assistant. But that’s exactly what makes Elite Assistants different.
They’re trained on your time zone. They’re coached by results specialists. They understand platforms like HubSpot, Asana, ClickUp, ActiveCampaign, and Google Workspace out of the box. And they’re not just task-takers—they’re team members. Professionals. People who genuinely care about doing great work.
What changed in my business after hiring an Elite Assistant
After that first hire, everything changed. So I hired another.
Then another.
Eventually, I built an entire remote support layer that powered every non-core function in my business—from marketing to client success to systems management.
Here’s what happened:
- My revenue tripled in 18 months
- My weekly working hours dropped by 30%
- My stress levels went from redline to “normal human”
- My team cohesion improved because I wasn’t the only touchpoint anymore
- My clients got better results because I could actually focus on delivering, not just managing
I no longer felt like I was running on fumes. I felt like a CEO.
You don’t scale by doing it all—you scale by letting go of what’s holding you back.
The most underrated benefit: Reclaiming my brain
Most people think hiring an Elite Assistant is about saving time.
And it is.
But the real magic is in what that time becomes.
It becomes:
- A business you can think clearly about
- Space to work on the business, not in it
- Better decisions because you’re not rushed
- Strategic planning instead of constant reacting
- Breathing room that lets your best ideas surface
That’s where momentum comes from. Not from hustle. From headspace.
Why we built The Virtual Hub
The experience was so transformative—for me and my clients—that I decided to build a company around it.
But I didn’t want to create just another offshore staffing agency. I wanted to build something better—something that fixed the exact problems I’d encountered.
So, we built:
- A Training Academy that delivers 20,000+ hours of training per year
- A first-round match success rate of 97%
- A Performance Pod system that ensures quality, accountability, and results
- A plug-and-play model with no lock-in contracts
- A culture that celebrates growth, initiative, and collaboration
We now serve hundreds of clients across the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, and Australia. And our team in the Philippines? Over 350 strong—and growing.
This Is what elite assistance looks like in action
Our clients use Elite Assistants for tasks like:
- Managing entire backend operations
- Running digital marketing execution
- Building internal SOP libraries
- Monitoring KPIs and analytics
- Coordinating podcast guests
- Managing events, webinars, and lead magnets
- Creating and updating sales decks
- Automating CRM pipelines
You name it—we’ve helped delegate it, systemise it, and scale it. Because the reality is this: if someone else can do it 80% as well as you… and they have the support to improve that over time… why are you still doing it?
Final thoughts: You don't need to do It all anymore
Here’s what I wish someone had told me sooner:
The most successful businesses aren’t the ones that do more. They’re the ones that do less—but better.
Hiring an Elite Assistant wasn’t a luxury. It was the catalyst for everything that came next.
So if you’re stuck in the weeds… if you know your business has more potential than you’re currently tapping… if you want your time, your creativity, and your momentum back—
