Brittany Bettini: How to Scale Your Business Faster Using a Virtual Assistant
Brittany Bettini is the Founder and CEO of I Need A VA, one of the fastest-growing virtual staffing agencies in the U.S., and the author of SheDelegates: A No-BS Guide for Women Who Refuse to Choose Between Success and Sanity (coming August 21, 2025). After years of believing she had to do everything herself—working 14-hour days, micromanaging every detail, and burning out—she discovered that delegation wasn’t a luxury but a requirement for real success. That realization changed the trajectory of her business and her life. Today, Brittany is dedicated to helping female entrepreneurs stop drowning in tasks and start leading like CEOs. Through I Need A VA, she helps business owners scale faster by hiring top-tier virtual assistants, reclaim their time, and eliminate the overload that holds them back. Her no-BS approach teaches women how to delegate with confidence, focus on what matters, and finally break free from the “it’s faster if I do it myself” trap. With a world-class team of VAs known for their accuracy, efficiency, and reliability, Brittany has made outsourcing simple, stress-free, and transformative. Her mission is clear: empower entrepreneurs to build their dream teams, grow their businesses without burnout, and stop trying to do it all alone. During the show we discuss: How virtual assistants help entrepreneurs reclaim time, increase revenue, and work fewer hours Which tasks business owners should delegate first to see the fastest ROI How I Need A VA matches businesses with the right VA through recruiting, vetting, and training The impact delegation has on burnout, work-life balance, and founder focus The speed and simplicity of onboarding, plus ongoing VA management and support Why outsourcing is often more cost-effective than hiring in-house staff The long-term transformation entrepreneurs experience by freeing up 10–20 hours per week Resources:
