Summary of Virtual Freedom (Chris Ducker)
Book Presentation: Virtual Freedom by Chris Ducker
Book Abstract
It's not unusual for startup entrepreneurs to fall victim to the "superhero syndrome" – to assume they have to do everything themselves. That might be necessary and helpful in the early days of an enterprise but if it goes on for too long, you end up becoming a choke point for ongoing growth – if you don't reach burnout first.
The solution is to fire yourself and to build a virtual team to take over your tasks. This effectively involves just three steps:
Find: You have to find and hire a team of virtual workers you can trustTrain: You have to train those workers until you're happy with the work they do for youManage: You have to manage your team on an ongoing basis so they create value for youThe end result of building a virtual team who do high-quality work you would otherwise do yourself is freedom. You can then set your own hours, do those big-picture tasks which generate the most added value and work on your business rather than solely in your business.
“This is the blueprint you need to go from a stressed-out, overworked business owner to someone who is refocused and highly energized about all the new freedom you've amassed. You'll enjoy the prospect of building your business again instead of just running it. I'm going to restore all of that original enthusiasm and help you prepare for the next ten years of blossoming into the most successful entrepreneur you can be. And it will all result from the strategy of building and utilizing a virtual team to help you run, support and grow your business.”

Find
Finding and hiring virtual workers is not dissimilar to the process of doing the same for employees who will work in your office. The main differences tend to be in the mindset you need to bring to the job to be successful.
The four key points to remember here are:
Understand the fundamentalsCreate 3 listsMake your local/global decisionAttract the right peopleFind. 1. Understand the fundamentals
Before you start trying to assemble a virtual team, there are four principles you must understand:
Virtual workers are people, not a program.And therefore you'll get the most out of your virtual assistants (VA) if you treat them with the same respect you would a person who is working in your office. It's smart to understand the communication customs, cultural traditions and holidays of each of your VAs rather than expecting them to be available 24/7 every day of the year.
