The Secret Team Kevin Harrington Uses (And You Can Too)

Building a successful business isn’t about…
doing everything yourself—
it’s about building and empowering the right team.

When Kevin Harrington (yes, the original Shark from Shark Tank)…
joined me on my podcast, “Win the Hour, Win the Day,
he shared powerful insights that are incredibly relevant…
especially if you’re an entrepreneur trying to scale your business.

Kevin Harrington, creator of the billion-dollar “As Seen On TV” brand,
emphasized a critical lesson that…
most success stories conveniently skip—
the transformative power of teamwork.

People love to share gritty “struggle stories,”
but they rarely discuss how they truly transitioned…
from struggle to success.

And here’s where things get interesting:
Kevin’s shared lessons aren’t reserved for TV moguls.

You just need to stop thinking of team building…
as hiring a bunch of people and start seeing it as a strategy.

A strategy you can use right now—even with a small team.

And let’s clear something up:
your business isn’t too small for this.

You don’t need 20 people to use a leadership framework.

You just need to stop acting like your VA…
is a task machine and start treating them…
like part of your business brain.

That’s the whole point of our virtual assistant leadership training—
to get support, not more supervision.

Steal These 3 Team Moves From Kevin Harrington

Here’s what Kevin nailed—and what you can apply immediately:

1. Communication Must Be Specific and Actionable:

Kevin emphasized that vague instructions…
drastically reduce productivity.

You can’t simply assign tasks and hope for the best.

Your team needs clear, detailed,
step-by-step instructions so everyone…
understands exactly what’s expected.

At Win the Hour, Win the Day, we eliminate…
confusion with simplified workflows…
and clearly defined systems like our Super Toolkits,
making sure everyone is always on the same page.

Kevin learned to build his dream team…
around his own strengths.

If you’re good at strategy, stop holding onto admin…
just because you can do it.

Use our virtual assistant leadership training…
to build confidence in your support team.

2. Encourage and Train Your Team to Speak Up:

Kevin credits mentors for…
helping him make bold shifts.

At Win The Hour Win The Day…
that’s what our virtual assistant leadership training…
does for your VA.

We don’t dump a VA into your inbox.

We build a pipeline of initiative-takers…
problem-solvers, and people who drive…
your business forward.

Kevin learned early that a silent team…
usually means hidden problems.

Empowering your team to openly express ideas…
concerns, and solutions directly leads to better outcomes.

Our Leadership Program specifically trains…
virtual assistants in leadership skills…
clear communication, and proactive problem-solving.

This unique approach ensures your…
virtual team members handle challenges…
before they escalate, significantly reducing…
frustration and improving efficiency.

3. Systems Aren’t Optional—They’re Essential:

Build systems that teach, not trap.

Kevin repeatedly stressed that scaling…
without proper systems is nearly impossible.

He built his empire by creating repeatable…
reliable processes anyone could follow.

Kevin didn’t just pivot industries—
he did it while still launching products that hit $100M.

And it’s exactly what we build through our virtual assistant leadership training.
I deeply believe in the same approach.

Our systems ensure your business operations…
run smoothly and efficiently without…
requiring your constant involvement…
freeing your time to focus on strategic growth.

The Win the Hour, Win the Day Leadership Program…
is specifically designed to encourage…
your virtual team members critical leadership skills…
effective communication techniques,
and proactive strategies for handling…
their responsibilities independently.

The Real Industry Shift That No One’s Talking About

Now, across the industry, more entrepreneurs…
are waking up to the fact that to scale smart…
you need a smarter team structure.

Especially one that works even…
when your business hours don’t line up.

That’s the superpower of our virtual assistant leadership training—
you tap into global talent and give them…
the skills to grow with your company.

Kevin’s story reminds us that…
even the biggest brands still need to adapt…
their team model to stay relevant.

So if you’re stuck thinking,
“I’ll hire help when I have more time/money/processes”—
you’re doing it backwards.

Stuck on Team Management? Read These First

Here’s what we see work with our clients every day:

• They start with one VA and our…
  virtual assistant leadership training from day one.
• They create Super Toolkits so the VA can plug in fast.
• They use daily scrums to prevent bottlenecks and keep projects flying.

If you’re still trying to “find time” to hire someone…
it’s like trying to build IKEA furniture while sitting on the box.

You can’t scale while doing everything yourself.

Got questions? You’re not alone.

• How do I train a VA if I barely have time to onboard them?

We do it for you. Our virtual assistant leadership training…
turns VAs into independent thinkers who are proactive from week one.

• What if I only need a few hours of support right now?

Perfect. Start with that. Smart scaling starts with smart training—
and virtual assistant leadership training adapts to your needs.

• Aren’t systems and processes overkill for a small business?

Nope. They’re your secret weapon.

That’s what virtual assistant leadership training…
is all about—structure without stress.

Vi’s Story: How Training Saved the Team

Let me tell you about one of our VAs, Vy.
She almost quit—twice.

Not because the work was hard.

Because communication had broken down.

She thought asking for more hours…
would make her look needy.

Her team lead had no clue she was frustrated.
Classic case of team drift.

But she stayed because of our virtual assistant leadership training.

We coached her, gave her tools to…
communicate clearly and professionally,
and taught her how to advocate for herself.

Our Virtual assistant leadership training doesn’t fix everything—
but it prevents problems before they start.

Here’s the bottom line:

You don’t need more hustle. You need a support system that scales with you. And that starts with a VA who’s trained to lead, not follow instructions like a robot.

So yeah, Kevin Harrington scaled billion-dollar brands.
But the lesson?
He did it by getting support,
building his team’s muscles,
and trusting structure over chaos.

Do the same.
Need help starting? I got you.
Let’s stop juggling flaming torches and start building a business that runs—
even when you step out of the room.
