In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor shares a powerful story behind achieving EOS Guilt-Free Weekends with guest Justine Parsons, founder of Your Virtual Assistant.

The last in our series for Season 2 & a special for Australia & New Zealand, who are in lockdown.

Justine is the Visionary / Founder at Your Virtual Assistant. The company has around 30 virtual assistants & Virtual Business Managers, based all around New Zealand.

She came across EOS a few years ago & tried to self-implement. I'll let her tell you why it didn't work, however, she came to me back in March 2020, just before the lockdown in New Zealand hit.

We were excited that I could help her to implement it into her business. However, once lockdown was announced, she came to me & said she wanted to pause.

We had a discussion and fortunately, she decided that there probably wasn't a better time to be starting - given all the uncertainty that comes with a global pandemic.

16 months later & Justine & her new Leadership team have smashed all their goals & are continuing to achieve their rocks each quarter.

In a time when many businesses are struggling, the Your VA Leadership Team has Clarity, they have Simplified their business & they are achieving their Vision.

And most importantly, Justine is back doing what she loves & takes her weekends off, without feeling even a little bit guilty.

If you'd like to understand how she did this, then take a listen.
