Her VA team will handle ongoing admin and client support, with Helen checking in periodically across time zones.\n \nShe’ll return in early April with a follow-up report, and notes that the community will reopen in April with limited spaces and done-for-you availability starting mid to late April.\n \n00:34 Episode Setup and Trip Plan\n \n03:09 Building Recurring Revenue\n \n06:07 Clients Values and Flexibility\n \n08:12 Mindset Wobbles and Control\n \n10:21 Systems and SOPs to Delegate\n \n12:20 Membership Coverage While Away\n \n16:42 Switching Off and Staying Visible\n \n21:14 Wrap Up and How to Work Together\n \n\n \nLinks: \n \nDone For You Marketing: https://www.helendickmancoaching.com/dfy\n \nJoin the Community: https://www.helendickmancoaching.com/community\n \nContact Helen: https://www.helendickmancoaching.com/contact\n \nConnect with Helen on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/helen-dickman\n ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/oHG_bb8SzlHKVyHNvhlT2z-z2RaL1J8V27l1VxflYs4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80MGMx/YzYzNWY0ZDk2MjUy/ZTljYTdlMzI3YmM1/MDVjZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
