Well, let me give you an example. Recently, we're trying to help my in laws find someone to clean their house. And so we asked our cleaning lady, do you? Are you looking for extra work? Or do you know anyone who is and she's like, Sure, my friend so and so is looking for extra work. So it turns out that now her friend is cleaning our in laws house or my in laws house. And that is truly the best way to find someone that you need is through your network. You look up the stats on finding jobs between 60 and 85% of jobs are found through networking. So use your network. Patricia Sung 00:37 Now, this isn't going to bully like literally to tell people I need help. I know, this is the best way to find help, though. So how can we do that is just speak it out. Let people know what we're looking for. In our neighborhoods, you can go in like, online groups of your neighborhood. Like if you have a neighborhood Facebook group, ask your neighbor, check with one of your friends who do you know that would be a good person for this? And they were like, well, I don't really know anybody, but so and so might and through that network is usually the best way to find someone, if you're looking for like, for example, like an online VA going into Facebook groups, I mean, like, Hey, do you know of someone who's good at this specific kind of task, and you'll get a lot more references that way of people who are probably a better fit than just posting it somewhere. Patricia Sung 01:26 So that's definitely where I would start. Use your network. Speak it out. Tell the people who are in your circle, finding someone who would be will be like a logical person who would know that and ask them Do they know anyone who would fit that description. Use your network, they are the best place to find than fit for what you need. And the good news is that because you already did this background work, you know what kind of person you're looking for the skill set they should have the experience you need, the budget that you're looking for. And when you lead with that you're much more likely to find a person that fits what it is that you need than just you know, hoping for the best. So put together that little blurb of this is what I need. These are the this is the kind of person I'm looking for. And start sharing. It can be worn mouth, it can be online, but get out there and share.
