Welcome back to another show of the Virtual Success Show. I’m joined today by my co-host, Barbara Turley. Hey, Barb. Barbara:  Hey, Matt! How’s it going? Good to do another show with you. Matt:  It certainly is, yeah. It’s such a beautiful winter’s day here in Sydney today. Barbara:  It is. Matt:  It’s clear blue skies and can you believe, 23 degrees in the middle of July, or beginning of July. Barbara:  I have to admit, I love… The Australian blue skies are just to die for. You get blue skies all the time, pretty much all the time here. It’s very rare that it’s not blue skies. I just love that. Right people, right seats, right time  Matt:  Certainly is. And it’s a really exciting day to be doing this topic as well, titled ‘Right People, Right Seats, Right Time,’ and this is a follow-on show from the last show we did where we talked about VAs or project managers or ops manager, which should you choose?

So, let me get started. Barb, right people. What’s your experience as far as right people in your business and some of the challenges you’ve had over the time? Right people  Barbara:  Yeah. So, look, a lot of the things that I share on this podcast I learned myself through the hard way and not having anyone really to sort of advise me on it, but I guess a lot of these things you do learn by experience. So, in terms of the right people, I think… Look, with VAs, I felt it was a bit easier for me, because I was very clear on that boundary of what a VA does and what a VA doesn’t do. Barbara: When I tried to… I had some VAs though that were very, very good and I realised I needed, sort of, project management help and I thought, “Well, they can do it. I mean, they’re really good. They’re great VAs and they’re on it,
