<p>I’ve been a fan of Tina Forsyth’s for quite some time.  If you don’t know her, she’s the author of “<em>Becoming an Online Business Manager: Playing a Bigger Game with Your Clients and Yourself</em>” and also of the recent “Stop Settling Manifesto &#8211; <em>Taking a Stand on Creating the Best Virtual Support Team for You and Your Business.”</em></p>
<p>Tina has been in the virtual support industry since 1999 – working as an Online Business Manager, training virtual support professionals, as well as being the business owner and hiring her own virtual team.</p>
<p>So when Tina recently shared details with me about her <strong><a href="http://ht.ly/2gkyt " target="_blank">THRIVE Hiring System</a></strong>, I couldn’t help but (a) wish it has been around when I hired my first Virtual Assistant but also (2) be excited to share this information with all of you!</p>
<p><span id="more-1332"></span></p>
<p>See for years I’ve seen so many of my own clients, colleagues and friends struggle with finding really great virtual support, no matter what the role – <strong>Virtual Assistant, Online Business Manager</strong>, and even other specialist support such as affiliate managers, membership managers,  ecommerce specialists etc.</p>
<p>The struggle isn’t a simple one – it’s full circle around the finding of great people, hiring of the right people and the building a fantastic relationship.</p>
<p>Tina’s brand new <strong><a href="http://ht.ly/2gkyt " target="_blank">THRIVE Hiring System</a></strong> is the solution to all of our challenges, frustrations, stress and disappointment – it is a 6 module step-by-step program that provides the exact proven process to find, hire and work with the right people for you and your business.</p>
<p>Want to learn more?  If you have any interest in building the business of your dreams, with a fantastic team behind you – you won’t waste another second.</p>
<p>You really have one of two choices here:</p>
<p>(1)    Visit the <strong><a href="http://ht.ly/2gkyt " target="_blank">THRIVE Hiring System Website</a></strong> and get your business on track with the RIGHT people or</p>
<p>(2)    Sit back, make the same mistakes that have made over and over again, feel stress, experience frustration and get absolutely no where.</p>
<p>Which option will you choose?</p>
<p>Visit  the <a href="http://ht.ly/2gkyt " target="_blank">THRIVE Hiring System</a> to learn more about…. You’ll be glad you did!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s FINALLY here.</p>
<p>It’s one of those things you wish you had when you first started your business, or when you first set out to hire your first Virtual Assistant.</p>
<p>It’s the THRIVE Hiring System and it’s CRITICAL to any online entrepreneur who:</p>
<ul>
<li>already has a virtual team in place,</li>
<li>is thinking of hiring their first VA or</li>
<li>wants to have a successful online based business</li>
</ul>
<p>Business owners are still struggling in this area, we continue to hear things like:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>· </em><em>“Try as I might, </em><strong><em>I just can’t find the person I need!</em></strong><em> Where the heck are all the good ones?”</em><em></em></li>
<li><em>· </em><em>“</em><strong><em>I thought I found a really great person</em></strong><em> but once she got on the job things fell flat. For some reason she just didn’t deliver what I thought we had agreed upon.”</em><em></em></li>
<li><em>· </em><em>“Most of the time things are pretty good with my team, but there are times I get really frustrated… </em><strong><em> Quite honestly….I feel like I’m settling.</em></strong><em>”</em><em></em></li>
<li><em>“I’ve been burned so many times I’m at my wits end… I know I need to hire someone but I’m so gun-shy. </em><strong><em>I don’t know who to trust anymore.</em></strong><em>”</em></li>
</ul>
<p><span id="more-1328"></span></p>
<p>The thing is – many of us don’t know how to hire a virtual team. We don’t know who we need to hire, we don’t know where to find them, we don’t know how to work with people once we do hire them. This is exactly why my friend Tina Forsyth created the THRIVE Hiring System – to give you a step-by-step process for finding, hiring and working with the right virtual team for your business</p>
<p>&gt;&gt; <a href="http://ht.ly/2gkyt " target="_blank">Check it out</a> for your self</p>
<p>If you’re sick and tired of trying to do everything yourself or you’ve tried outsourcing, only to end up stressed, frustrated and truly disappointed, OR you have the slightest interest in building your business and generating amazing revenue … it’s time to take the bull by the horns and get this hiring thing figured out once and for all.</p>
<p>Here’s the <a href="http://ht.ly/2gkyt" target="_blank">link again</a>, more information and a short video from Tina.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My friend Tina Forsyth is taking a stand.</p>
<p><a href="http://ht.ly/24wNs "><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1154 alignleft" style="margin: 5px;" title="Tina Tina Forsyth The Stop Settleing Manifesto" src="http://katrinasawa.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Manifest3D200-150x150.jpg" alt="Tina Tina Forsyth The Stop Settleing Manifesto" width="150" height="150" /></a>As the author of “Becoming an Online Business Manager:  Playing a Bigger Game with Your Clients and Yourself” and the creator of the <strong>THRIVE Hiring System</strong> (coming summer 2010) she has something to say to entrepreneurs about how they create the best virtual support team for their business.</p>
<p>In her recent report “Who Is Taking Care of Who?  Taking a Stand On Creating The Best Virtual Support Team For You and Your Business”, Tina shares specific <strong>scenarios and struggles faced by most entrepreneurs when it comes to hiring their virtual teams.</strong></p>
<p><strong><span id="more-1153"></span><br />
</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I guarantee that you’ll identify with many of Tina’s points as you read through, including:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">•	the one thing that is <strong>hurting most business owners</strong> who are struggling with their team (and it’s not what you might think!)<br />
•	the hiring approach that I see many business owners doing (and which is almost guaranteed to fail)<br />
•	a <strong>formula for ensuring you create a successful team</strong> (just two simple things)<br />
•	how <strong>being an ostrich or a control freak </strong>can stifle your team (and subsequently your business success!)<br />
•	the <strong>ONE question that you need to ask</strong> in order to know if you have the right team in place</p>
<p>This report is brilliant, to the point and speaks to the fears that so many entrepreneurs face.</p>
