Matthew was working 14 hours a day on his eCommerce portfolio, managing a team of 6, was buried in operations, and it was affecting his marriage. The situation was not tenable. He had enough and finally figured out how to hire an A+ player overseas who could run the operations better than him so he could focus on growth. He realized that the core issue is people look for a "Virtual Assistant" and not a "Real Professional". In 45 days, Matthew went from working 14 hours to 3 hours a day, and now it's 3 hours a week. Matthew built his past two companies with a 100% remote workforce and now helps others do the same. In his spare time, he snowboards well, kiteboards poorly, and enjoys life with his incredibly patient wife.</p><br><p>........</p><br><p>Thank you for listening!</p><br><p>I’d appreciate a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts if you believe I’ve earned it. -<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/just-get-started-podcast/id1315477238" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Leave a Review</a></p><br><p>Follow the Just Get Started Podcast:</p><br><p>Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/justgetstartedpodcast</p><p>Facebook<a href="https://www.facebook.com/justgetstartedpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.facebook.com/justgetstartedpodcast</a></p><b
