During this episode, we dive into Nathan's entrepreneurial journey and how he was able to scale his businesses through the use of VA's.

Some takeaways from this episode:

• There isn't a right or a wrong path to being an entrepreneur and building a team. Most of entrepreneurship is trying new things and through trial and error finding out what works for you and doubling down on that.
  
• It's easier to build a business when you're younger as you don't have as many responsibilities as a house, kids, or any other of the traditional responsibilities that may stop you from building a business so you're able to take more calculated risks.
  
• Building a business around the use of a team of VA's is a great way to build a freedom-focused business where you can work anywhere in the world and don't have the overheads/cost of having an office or any other of the costs to having employees.
  
• When hiring a team of VAs it's important to bear in mind there are 3 main types of VA's that you can choose from which include the "followers" - there to follow your systems and processes, the "doers" - there to do certain tasks like graphic design etc. and the "experts" who bring their own processes and systems to help you grow your business.
  
• Plus, much much more!
