Key Quotes

 

“Everything we do is excellence; I never want anything done half-assed.” – Joel Camacho

 

“When you bring on a VA and you want to fill five roles, they might do all five roles, but they're probably not going to be done very well. My recommendation is to keep them within the lane that they should be in and you'll get the highest results that way.” – Joel Camacho
