============================================ 

If you’ve been following this podcast for a while, you may already know that it’s all about serving women on a mission. My mission to make the world a better place involves owning a business, and business ownership has been very lonely for me.

While I can tell myself, "nobody does it on their own”, our American culture is very much about the individual - pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and making things happen. What I've taken a LONG time to learn is making things happen is waaay better when you have a team.

This doesn't necessarily mean hiring employees. Sometimes it's having someone to bounce ideas off of. Sometimes it's having a friend to talk to or getting a hug.

Sometimes, though, you reach a point in your business where you are ready to bring on some professional help. That is where today's guest comes in.

Valerie Trapunsky founded ChatterBoss company in 2017 after a decade spent working as a top-level assistant for A-list celebrities and as the Chief of Staff for high-net-worth individuals and CEOs. During that time, Valerie developed a passion for effective problem-solving, and became committed to bringing the same level of excellent service to solo entrepreneurs and small business owners. 

Valerie’s exceptional problem-solving skills and genuine love of people are the foundation of everything they do at ChatterBoss. They strive to solve customer needs through a combination of intelligent technology, intelligent systems, and most importantly, intelligent people. Together, the whole team has built a product that clients can trust to deliver personalized, reliable, and thoughtful service.

My biggest takeaways from our conversation were:

• Set up your delegation based on your personality approach...I love that Valerie and her team take personality type into play in how they match up people with a VA
• Start delegation with your easiest tasks where you can explain it and you know exactly what the outcome should be
• It's the administrative unknown that keeps you from the freedom that your business could create for you
