Why That One Magical VA Or OBM Is Failing You (And What to Build Instead)
Description
If you have ever read a post in a Facebook business post that says. “Looking for a magical unicorn VA who can do it all: strategy, socials, systems, tech, vibes.”
Every founder has written one (or at least thought it). But here’s the truth: that one magical VA or OBM you’re dreaming of? They’re not the answer.
In this episode, I’m unpacking why the “do-it-all” hire so many founders chase is actually setting both sides up to fail, and what to build instead if you want your business to run smoothly without burning anyone out.
We’re talking farms, flights, and the operations ecosystem every visionary CEO actually needs.
Inside this episode:
✨ Why your “unicorn VA” keeps burning out (and why it’s not their fault)
✨ The farm analogy, how healthy businesses run like well-managed ecosystems
✨ The first-class flight model. what operational maturity feels like when it all flows
✨ The real state of the outsourcing industry (and why this model is the future)
✨ How to build a layered operations partnership that scales sustainably
If you’ve ever said, “I just need to find my person,” this one will change how you think about team, systems, and support forever. You don’t need a unicorn, you need a farm and a flight plan. 🐴✈️
