For the past 13 years I had some good admin help. I knew that would change once I moved into church planting. That’s why I was very interested in the services of [eaHelp](http://www.eahelp.com/?ref=dashhouse.com). They provide churches and businesses with high-quality virtual executive assistants. I’ve been a customer since the summer, and I couldn’t be happier.

It’s my privilege today to Interview Bryan Miles, CEO of eaHelp. I’ve enjoyed getting to know him, and he’s even been to Toronto a bunch of times with his wife Shannon.

**What’s a virtual assistant?**

A virtual Executive Assistant is essentially an assistant that does not work in your office. They do almost everything an on-site assistant could do … except for get your coffee and dry cleaning.

**I first read about virtual assistant in Tim Ferris’s book The 4 Hour Work Week, but I never thought about virtual assistants working for churches and ministries. How did you come up with the idea?**

Before I started eaHELP with my wife, I used to work with churches in the consulting realm for a long time (focused on design and construction). Also, I had a virtual Executive Assistant for 7 years while working with churches. She lived 4 hours from me but never missed a beat. Then, when working with churches, I just saw a need for Pastor(s) to have the same level of admin support as I had … vs. volunteer help that never is a long-term solution. So, I guess I just saw an obvious need that I thought pastors would want/desire to help them lead better. And, of course, God has shown up big-time in our business in serving others. I’m super grateful.

**What are some of the advantages of using a virtual assistant?**

Too many to say … [here’s my list](http://www.eahelp.com/9-considerations-for-busy-professionals/?ref=dashhouse.com).

**How can someone get started?**

We always start with a conversation with our prospective clients. We never just give a price. Relationship is so important to us … and initial conversations help us decide if we’ll be a good fit for them and likewise. If someone is really serious about “next steps” … [here’s the path](http://www.eahelp.com/how-to-work-with-our-eas/?ref=dashhouse.com).

**Outside of eaHelp, what are some of your passions?**

Backpacking, climbing, reading, mentoring, & wine tasting. Anything that includes my family outdoors is almost next to heaven for me.

**Thanks, Bryan.**
