Ep. 129 How Virtual Assistants Help Founders Scale Faster and Less Stress with Workergenix
Show Notes:
In this episode of Business Growth Spotlight, host Heidi Schalk sits down with Harley Green, co-founder of Workergenix, to explore how founders, solopreneurs, and growing teams can scale smarter by leveraging virtual assistants, systems, and AI. Harley, a full-time digital nomad who runs multiple businesses while traveling the world with his family, shares exactly how he built a lifestyle of freedom, powered by virtual assistants, efficient systems, and the right hiring strategy.
Harley dives into the origin story behind Workergenix, born from the overwhelm of running multiple side hustles while working full-time jobs. He explains how discovering skilled, English-speaking virtual assistants in the Philippines changed everything, and why most entrepreneurs wait far too long to hire their first EA.
You’ll learn the signs it’s time to get support, how to choose the right virtual assistant, and the cultural nuances that often lead to failed VA relationships (and how Workergenix solves those problems through a built-in support structure and local HR team). Harley also shares the top time-wasting tasks founders hold onto for too long, the systems that have fueled Workergenix’s rapid growth, and why referrals and podcasting outperform paid ads for visibility.
