What’s Up with VA’s These Days? | Michelle & Doug Myers

On today’s episode of Live with Bottleneck, we have spouses Michelle and Doug Myers to talk about the status and the current set-up of virtual assistants and remote work these days. They also share their experiences as virtual assistants and how they built their business, Pink Callers, an administrative support solution.

Different Perspective

Doug and Michelle Myers share how their business started and how they helped each other in building it up more. Michelle says that she started the business alone as she was a single mom back then, and Doug helped her achieve their goals and visions for their business. Doug adds that it is important to step back and respect that someone can say the things that you need to hear in order to grow.

“In our mind, we’re thinking I’ve got it all figured out I’m doing it the right way and someone else’s perspective can see it completely different and change the game. I know that we go through that quite often where we look at a process, system, or communication tool and ask the question, why can’t it get better, why are we doing it this way, why not that way and I think that’s helped us grow.” – Doug Myers

Working Remotely

Diving into the topic of what’s up with VA’s these days, Michelle shares her thoughts about working remotely. She says that it is one way to stay productive, especially this time of the pandemic. Also, she is glad and hopeful for it because of the technology that supports it to accomplish its accountability.

“I think all these things have happened in the world has proven a point to the workforce at large that working remotely can be productive and is an option.” – Michelle Myers

Words of Wisdom

Before ending the show, Jamie asks Michelle and Doug Myers what they would advise the audience through leaving them and the audience some words of wisdom. Michelle advises getting a customer relationship management software on your phone so that you can run and monitor your company easily. Additionally, she advises to think ahead of time and think for the future.

“The minute you start getting all of those customers into a place whether you capture them and do business with them or not, you need to be able to touch them in the future in some way. Grow the business of the future, don’t solve the problem of today. Buy what you need for the future when you have 10 to 30 guys in the field, and that will get you fired up and re-energized about your business because you’ll start seeing the benefit of being able to connect with customers quickly and easily.” – Michelle Myers

Meet Jaime Jay – a man who wears many hats, and wears them all admirably. He's a master connector, an entrepreneur extraordinaire, and a published author who knows how to get things done.

Before he found his way to the business world, Jaime served his country as a brave paratrooper in the U.S. Army. But that's just the beginning of his many accomplishments.

He's the founder of the renowned Bottleneck Distant Assistant Services firm, and his book "Quit Repeating Yourself" has become a must-read for entrepreneurs everywhere.

When he's not busy building his empire, you can find him on his beloved Harley Davidson, cruising through the countryside and taking in the invigorating effects of Uitwaaien – a Dutch practice that involves facing the wind to boost health and relieve stress.

He enjoys spending his free time outside building stuff with his wife, Nikita the dog and their two kittens (for now at least) Tommy and Tater.

He is ‘over-the-moon’ happily married to his wonderful wife Sara, his amazing daughter, Jessica, who is serving our country as a United States Army soldier. Jaime and Sara are the proud grand parents of two beautiful little girls.

I started last March 24, 2021 as a Dedicated Distant Assistant and it was an awesome experience. In this new journey, as Security Administrator of Bottleneck Distant Assistants, I have been supported by the team, A LOT !!!! All help that I need, the whole team is there to support me. I know that there are a lot of room for improvements with my skills and what I know, but because of BNDA, I became equipped with all the weapons I need to conquer the daily challenges especially with my tasks. With BNDA, they will not just help you to aim high, but soar the skies!

What an awesome business! Finally, a way to hire the RIGHT person for my administrative tasks and they are remote! No office space to consider, W2's, 1099's or payroll. Jaime and his team of remote workers are top-notch! I hired my first assistant in May. I recently suffered a motorcycle accident and it left me unable to work for 2 weeks. But my assistant stepped right in to guide our CEO on all matters financial. It’s so nice to have that stress eliminated from my life!
