Over a year ago, after I read the 4-Hour Work Week, I came across with the idea of hiring a virtual assistant.

At first, I was really edgy of hiring someone because Im not that familiar with the strategy. I thought it would be difficult for me to be a manager virtually to a person on the other side of the world.

About 3 months ago, Brad and I joined a Mastermind group of several successful marketers with brilliant ideas.

A member of the group shared with us that he hired someone that was working for him full time. In fact, there was another marketer that had a figure out where to find skilled and dependable employees that are also reasonable.

The guys name is John Jonas. John created a product that was based on his experiences. Brad and I were captivated. Without more ado, we began to read it and acquired a membership to his site.

Brilliant!

The awesome product John Jonas delivered is what we were looking for. John provides a free audio that helped me out to fully change my prior perception on how to employ someone full time. I find his 17 hours Theory a little more realistic and it slightly kills the 4-Hour Work Week Theory.

I now have an awesome employee that I can trust to implement the training I give her. She is dedicated and eager to do a good job. She has successfully implemented strategies that have helped me get several of my clients ranked on the top page of Google.

Thought it was far from easy, I formed several training material and project management of my own.

But that was my choice. I tend to be a control freak and wanted to put her through my own personal training program.

Actually, replacemyself.com has a lot of this already prepared for you and project management software of this package.

I can recommend John Jonas and Replacemyself.com to those marketers that are willing to take the next step in their business. The admirable results that my employee has produced have paid her payment and permitted me to be productive and breathe. Sigh.

The most wonderful thing is that she is starting to put all the pieces together and develop strategies for my sites. I love it.
