On this episode of the Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast, I interview my good friend, Laura Roeder. I've had Laura on the podcast before, but I wanted to have her on again, because she is a master in setting up processes and systems to grow your business. In this episode, here’s what we’ll cover: The difference between a project manager and a VA Why your project manager should work only for you, rather than have other clients How much you should pay a project manager The role of a project manager and what it takes to hire and train one A mindset shift that needs to happen before you hire your first project manager How you should think about how much you should pay your project manager, and what you should do less of so you an afford to hire help The golden ticket when it comes to hiring team members Why you don't have to find a project manager who is a perfect fit for your business And so much more! Key Takeaways There are a lot of highly skilled, underemployed people out there now, who would love to work as a project manager You're in the right place to hire a project manager if you: Feel overwhelmed, burned out, or emotionally exhausted Have a bunch of ideas and projects you want to tackle but are too busy A project manager keeps you organized and helps you to continue moving forward with the things you really want to do It's more important for someone to have the ability to learn than it is for them to already know all of the programs you use Be willing to take the time to train your project manager and don't just tell them what to do, but why you want it done Spend less money on programs and then use that money to pay a project manager The main things a project manager should help you do: Translate your goals and plans into daily tasks Make sure things are being done on time and if they aren't, figure out why Ensure not just that the work is done, but that the quality is high
