Summary

Entrepreneurs often suffer from "superhero syndrome" - the misconception that to be successful, they must do everything themselves. They are not only the boss but also the salesperson, HR manager, copywriter, operations manager, online marketing guru, and so much more. It's no wonder so many people give up the dream of starting a business - it's just too much for one person to handle. But outsourcing expert and "Virtual CEO" Chris Ducker knows how you can get the help you need with resources you can afford. Virtual Freedom is the step-by-step guide every entrepreneur needs to build his or her business with the asset of working with virtual employees. Focusing on business growth, Ducker explains every detail you need to grasp, from figuring out which jobs you should outsource to finding, hiring, training, motivating, and managing virtual assistants.

Fabulous & comprehensive practical guide!

If you are considering outsourcing or are just plain busy then get this book.

It is the case studies, detailed 'how to' steps & the example workflows / task descriptions that make this such a useful book.

The only issue - I now need to get a paper copy as the examples outlined are so good!

Nice writing style from Chris also kept me engaged...a thoroughly good read!

A great resource

This was a reasonably deep look and a complicated subject broken down in an easy to understand way. I look forward to listening to it again.

Timeless nuggets among outdated info

A great introduction to using virtual staff. It would benefit an update though, as things have changed and considering it was written close to a decade ago, the dated information leaves me wondering if the more timeless (in my perception) aspects might actually be outdated as well.

Good listen, I knew nothing about virtual teams before this book. This has helped me understand how to build a content team. Working with a GVA

It is a great book and teaches a lot about topic.

It was great to hear the explanation stories and cleared quite a good amount of confusion.

A rip of the 5hr work week

A poor attempt to piggyback on the brilliant 5hr work week that was a best seller. Philippines obsessed because he has a business there. Condescending in place's and also contradictory because he states a task is simple and then lists the 50 steps it takes to complete it. Probably only 5 good ideas in total.
